The writer Samuel Johnson put it best when he wrote ‘…when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’ There is so much to see and do in this capital city that it is simply impossible to cram it quite in during a short visit. A thoroughly cosmopolitan incorporated town, you’ll be able to feed your way through the world’s cuisines, or shop from London’s very own up-and-coming designers, without venturing too far.
See
Southbank Centre – This large complex encompasses the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery and the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Expect to see a diverse range of cultural events happening side by side – from blockbuster art exhibitions to spoken word performances by little-known writers. Where else do you except to find punk legend Henry Rollins performing only steps away from the London Sinfonietta?
Shop
Camden Market – Almost as many tourists come to Camden Market to gawky at its colourfully outfitted denizens as to actually shop. The sprawling market is best known for its many stalls selling ‘alternative fashion’ – need an all-latex jumpsuit, a Gothic Lolita headpiece or huge Doc Marten boots? You’ll be able to find all these here, and much more besides. The restaurants, cafes, and food kiosks are all just as varied, offering up organic, free-range, vegan brownies, to deep-fried chip butties, to spicy Thai noodle dishes.
Stay
St James’s Hotel and Club – Splash out for a room at this elegant townhouse hotel – smack in the centre of town yet hidden in a quiet street, it almost feels like a unseen that no one else knows about. The newly renovated rooms show a painstaking attention to detail, featuring silk wallpaper, beautiful Murano glass chandeliers, and highly polished fittings. It is a alleviation falling into the wonderfully soft bedding after a long day exploring the city. Room rates start from around £290.
