Best Wine Bar in London. Give it a whirl, leave some room for the excellent cheeses! Get there early!
Fabulous hotel - great proximity to Westminster Abbey, Parliament and good local pubs - The Feathers & Fullers/Sanctuary - service superb. Caxton Grill also recommended - great English breakfast.
The British Museum began from the collection of naturalist Sir Hans Sloane which he left to the nation on his death in 1753. Now it houses 7 million objects including more than 100 Egyptian mummies.
The oldest pub in London, RE-built in 1666 after a lil fire- and it's barely been touched since. Twain, Dickens and Conan Doyle were regulars at various points and my late grandfather used to run it
Even if you are not visiting one of the many exhibitions and events organised here throughout the year, come to sit in its beautiful and quiet neoclassical courtyard away from London’s busy streets.
Borough Market is an unmissable destination for food lovers, catering to top chefs in search of premium ingredients and grazing epicures hungry for freshly prepared mouthfuls of culinary excellence.
Quite and peaceful. Everyone enjoying the weather. There is a lady listening to music and reading a book.
Best Vietnamese in Shoreditch! Signature dishes: Phở (rare steak, well-done flank, beef tendon or beef tripe) and Beef wrapped in betel leaves
This fascinating museum is located in an old Georgian sugar warehouse, and tells the 2,000 year story of London’s river, port and people. It also houses the archives of the Port of London Authority.

Amazing pub full of history, good beers and above average food. Wish they stayed open later on a Saturday. Run by the national trust so you can convince yourself every pint is a donation!
Bit of a gem. No booking, stools aren't that comfy, but terrific feel and food.
"It invites slow saunters, casual leaning against a wall and hours spent exploring. The range is eclectic and international; you're sure to find a book you didn't know you were looking for..." Read more.
Beautiful street, great place for a walk, eating and shopping, there are lots of good restaurants and cafes and as well as high fashion shops.
The best place to sip champagne in one of the 32 capsules and watch the sun go down over London.
Lovely place to come for lunch to escape the city. Small secluded courtyards and gardens make this a must visit on spring and summer days.
London's oldest restaurant hasn't changed much since it opened in 1798 and we aren't complaining. Try the traditional steak & kidney pie, buttery on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Tayyabs' long-marinated grilled lamb chops remain one of life's great savoury pleasures - a complex hit of sweet 'n' smoky, hot 'n' spicy flavour, edged with a crisp, blackened strip of fat..." Read more.

The service here is excellent, warm and friendly. The food is outstanding, each dish on the tasting menu was delicious and the 'funky' wine topped it off (top choice from Emily who looked after us)
If you go to the Ritz, please don't forget to wear formal clothing, because unless you are a celebrity or someone really famous, there is huge possibility security might ask you out, so take care, xx

Check out the shoe shine service on Thursdays and Fridays....complementary of course
Pure wine porn. Amazing. Check out the 1888 Yquem (11.5k) or the Imperial of 09 Petrus (38k)
I really enjoyed the sharing starters and authentic main. Really disappointed by the dessert - felt like a rip off. Not up to the same standard as the Jerusalem restaurant
Andre Balazs strikes again: this time across the pond. The man behind Chateau Marmont can do no wrong, and neither can the crab donuts & pork belly. Don't miss the smoking rooms in the basement too.
The art deco styled private dining room and the exquisite food makes this restaurant a firm favourite for elegant entertaining in London.
Think fabulous croque monsieurs and steak Dianes served up against a backdrop of vintage posters and dripping chandeliers, whether breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or night-night munch Read more.

Fantastic restaurant tucked away in an old school yard. Alas only open during weekdays during the day.
Koya Bar is now the only place you can get Koya's amazing curry udon, so it would be rude to order anything else. Wash it down with tea and or/hot sake.
For a different Tapas experience head to Jose where the Spanish habit of eating standing up is part of this restaurant’s charm. For the full FT review... Read more.
