Things to do in London, England: The Best Piers & Boardwalks
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Iconic St Katharine Docks is Central London's only marina and has evolved into a thriving waterside community featuring modern and unusual office space, luxury homes and quayside dining and shopping. A stone's throw from the Tower of London, the site has a fascinating history. Opening in 1828, the Thomas Telford-designed dock was once one of the busiest ports in the UK, renowned for handling luxury goods, sugar, rum, spices, perfumes, wines and tea. Today, St Katharine Docks is home to a range of leading companies and brands including tech incubator Rainmaking Loft, Tom's Kitchen, CAU, Bravas Tapas and artisan coffee shop White Mulberries. Every Friday, the Docks hosts the popular World Food Market, serving some of the capital's best street food.

Very close to Tower bridge is a haven of expensive yachts, apartments, restaurants and bars. We enjoyed walking around the docks, full of history with an old bridge designed by Thomas Telford, views of the Tower of London and the famous bridge. It was an unexpected delight.

This area is full of history from London's Dockland times. It is also the home of one of the stations for the Emirates Airline Cable Car ride and the amazing Victoria Bridge which we crossed on our way to the Thames Barrier Park.

What a find. My late father worked for Trinity House so I really enjoyed the mix of heritage TH buildings and the modern creative vibe in this beautiful spot on Thames overlooking 02. The chain store building is an interesting location for filming and I learned a scene from 007 The world is not enough was shot inside. In spring summer a lovely pop up up bar means drinks right by the Thames in a cool and casual setting with great chilled grooves.
