Things to do in London, England: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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).

In a side street a palette’s throw from both New Bond Street and Oxford Street, accessed up four flights of stairs in a rather nondescript office building which it shares with Osborne Samuel is Annely Juda Fine Art. Since mid-June it has re-opened its David Hockney exhibition which I had missed prior to the lockdown. There are two rooms of recent portraits of friends, celebrities and commissions, the only thing in common is that they are all sitting in various degrees of discomfort on chairs, wriggling in rather confined spaces. Absent any information about the subjects the only one I recognised was Ed Sheehan, and only then because I had seen some advance advertising. Downstairs on the third floor, however, were, by contrast, works encompassing comparatively vast canvasses, an ever-changing video in a dozen or more parts, showing a verdant North Yorkshire landscape; some vast limited edition prints showing a room full of people sitting at or walking around chairs at some sort of art lecture. The only opportunity for sitting for the visitor, however, is in front of a video or videos of a wintry Yorkshire landscape. Perhaps a metaphor now for a universal lockdown.

We we're lucky to time our visit to London with the Hidden London tour of the now abandoned Down Street Station. Originally opened in 1932, it was soon to be closed and forgotten. Then, during world war II, it was a secret headquarter to brittains transport and logistics during the war years. The guides we're fun, professional and knowledgeable. Fantastic tour. Well worth the price.

Created in 1889 out of a former burial ground for nearby St. George’s Hanover Square, Mount Street Gardens are named after the Mount Field, a fortification during the Civil War. They form gardens in front of the Church of the Immaculate Conception home to the Farm Street Jesuits and Latin Masses. To the west beyond the church they comprise a larger square shaped area overlooked by the rear of the Grosvenor Chapel and Mayfair Library. Today they provided a break for labourers to consume sandwiches or the contents of their lunchboxes on a long row of benches nearby all bearing inscriptions to those deceased who had enjoyed the gardens during their lifetimes. Also some bizarre callisthenics performed by a young Muslim woman in black headgear pacing along the wall of the church hall her upper thighs bound together in a black nylon belt. This was after her male companion had taken her essential measurements with a yellow tape measure.

If you are interested in history, then having visited the Wellington Arch, Apsley House and the statue of Wellington, then you must come here to see the huge powerful figure of Achilles, installed here as a public monument to the 1st Duke of Wellington. The scale seems appropriate given that there is a huge monument to Napoleon in the staircase hall of Apsley House nearby. And, if you stand at a particular location, you can see Achilles eyeing up yhe Hilton Hotel...
