Things to do in London
Sky Garden: This free, public space on the top of the walkie-talkie tower offers breathtaking views day or night, along with a bar, restaurant and live music in the evenings.
V&A Museum: One of many free museums in London. This one boasts some of the most famous collections outside of the British Museum. Be sure to check out the theatre exhibit for a behind-the-scenes look at British theatre.
Holland Park: A lesser-known park in a West London borough of the same name. It boasts beautiful walking trails and a flower garden, and is the only park with wild peacocks.
Southbank Centre: Festival of Britain contains a unique skate park along the river Thames, an iconic yellow exterior stair tower and a hidden gem within the Royal Festival Hall — its elevator.
National Theatre: A publicly-funded theatre along the South Bank of the river Thames, this brutalist structure contains two performance spaces and plenty of public seating, along with a quaint café.
Coal Drop Yards: This new market just north of Kings Cross Station is a modern reinterpretation of the historic storage warehouses that used to sit on the site.
Seven Dials: This neighborhood is home to many small restaurants, pubs and shops. As a somewhat lesser-known destination, it isn't often crowded.
Somerset House: Come here in November and December for unforgettable ice skating and holiday shopping.
The Painted Room: Located at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, this intricately painted room has been host to feasts of royals and soldiers throughout its history.
Places to eat & drink in London
Ye Olde Mitre: If you've ever wanted to be transported back to the 16th century, grab yourself a pint at this hidden gem.
Cabana St. GIles: Brazilian food hasn't looked or tasted this good. And don't forget about happy hour.
Dishoom: With multiple locations throughout the city, this spot serves authentic Indian food in unique spaces.
Rosso Pomodoro: Authentic Neapolitan pizza that can't be beat.
Ippudo: Delicious ramen chain out of Tokyo.
Duck & Waffle: This 24-hour restaurant is located high above the city, offering unmatched views from the glass elevator ride up. Beware of the strict dress code.
GBK (Gourmet Birger Kitchen): A delicious and quick counter-service chain.
Nando's: Home to the Piri Piri Chicken and a quick and easy meal.
