Well worth investing a day visiting Greenwich;there is much to see; The former Naval College with it's exquisite architecture and design with so much historical content to the Cutty Sark a beautifully preserved Clipper ship from a byegone age. Why not round off the day with a visit to Greenwich Observatory,the "home of time".
3. Holland Park

4.5 based on 1,599 reviews
Situated west of Kensington Gardens, this city park is particularly attractive in the spring when tulips are in full bloom, and in summer when performances are staged at the open-air theater.

A lot of your experience will depend on weather conditions, the season, and expectations of what a park in London ought to be. Having said that, my parents were visiting me in Spring (2019) from the US and were looking for flowers in bloom. The main parks (Hyde, St James and Green) were already past bloom. We were staying in Kensington, and on our last day we decided to walk over to Holland Park via seeing the Burges Tower House. The Park definitely has a more local feel and less of a tourist-centred one. It is a nice place for walking, jogging, and even meditating. We were very fortunate since the tulips were in full bloom -- brilliant colours. The friendly peacock was a wonderful surprise as was the Kyoto Garden. Japanese gardens can tend to be over-decorated and landscaped, but the Kyoto Garden was nicely designed and well maintained. Not gimmicky. In short, Holland Park capped a wonderful visit for my parents, and with the Design Museum just next to the Park, it makes for an uncrowded venue that ought to be high on the list of places to visit in London.
4. Shambles
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15,601 reviews
Shambles (or The Shambles as it is often referred to) is a street in the city centre of York with a long and interesting past. Dating back to Medieval times it was once the street of the butcher shops. Today the Shambles is Europe's most visited street, attracting tourists, shoppers and business clients.

It is a mile walk from East Brighton Pier to the Marina where you will find shops, restaurants and bars. There is also a huge Asda there. The walk is along the coastline so you can see the sea, watch the Volks Electric Railway in action, or you can walk along the top road which also has great views.

The laines are a unique experience to Brighton, you can find everything from fudge to vintage clothing to jewellery; one of my favourite things about Brighton and I love that it’s full of local independent businesses
8. The Lanes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,137 reviews
This area is home to an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants.
Reviewed By Good_Partner - Sydney, Australia
Unlike walking through the high streets for window shopping, this area provides visitors more fun as shops are close and lanes are narrow only one person can pass through at a time in many occasions, so the excitement is high. It's not a small maze to most unless you are familiar with each lane and corner by identifying the shops and benchmarks. Without visiting The Lanes, your trip to Brighton is not complete.

10. The Quayside
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,155 reviews
Reviewed By stevearchbold - Wallsend, United Kingdom
This may seem a little biased but if your visiting Newcastle you need to check out the Quayside it's only a short downhill walk from the city centre with plenty of taxis to get you back up. Plenty of good bars and restaurants to choose from, a great view of the river side and the bridges and you can walk across the millennium bridge to the sage music centre or the Baltic arts centre plenty to do for young and old
