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).

Open 7 days a week, it is the perfect antidote to the high street. We bring together small producers with local creatives and artisans, original independent retailers and a few well-known brands under one historic roof. Our daily market is home to a selection of carefully chosen traders, craftsmen, artists and artisans alike, picked for the quality of their product, and the stories they have to tell. We are interested in how things are designed, the creative process and the interesting people who produce the products you’ll find here. We champion quality and responsibly sourced products and we assess each operator individually on this basis. In the centre of the market floor you will find our ten fully fitted kitchens where we showcase exceptional contemporary and authentic cooking. We are proud to offer new levels of quality and variety in the dishes prepared by our chefs and operators, many of whom have already established great
Nice selection of food (Dumpling Shack - ShengJianbao and Monty’s Deli - Pastrami Sandwich were our winners) after visiting Brick lane and its vintage shops.

Filled with restaurants, bars, markets and boutiques, London's premier tourist center offers fabulous shopping by day, and the destination of theatergoers and patrons of the Royal Opera House by night.
Great hidden craft gems in a busy market. Loved the craft offered in both jubilee and apple markets and great handcrafted wellbeing products from Eunoia in jubilee market - a bit of zen amongst all the hustle and bustle

This indoor market dates back to 1737 and is the only in London located on a World Heritage site. Antiques, arts and crafts and London designer-makers.
While the Maritime Museum, Observatory and Prime Meridian should be priorites, the Market is also a must with friendly vendors, great souvenirs, gift options, yummy foods and a relaxing stop on your way to tour the Cutty Sark!

As well as the market, there is also a mass of independent shops, selling everything from jewellery and vintage clothes, to antiques, cupcakes, art and furniture.

Dulwich Picture Gallery is the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery: it was founded in 1811 when Sir Francis Bourgeois RA bequeathed his collection of old masters “for the inspection of the public”. Located in 3 acres of private gardens, today the Gallery is a vibrant cultural hub hosting some of the UK’s leading exhibitions alongside its Permanent Collection of Baroque masterpieces while staging a wide-ranging programme of public events, practical art and community engagement.
Dulwich Picture Gallery is a tale of two halves: the permanent collection of European masterpieces particularly from the 17th and 18th centuries - think the likes of Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Watteau; then a cluster of small rooms to the rear housing a temporary exhibition space. The most recent exhibition entitled English Surrealism is almost a contradiction in terms as surrealism was a mainly continental movement and its adherents in this country only appear to have contributed to it fitfully; and, after World War II only by two women Eileen Agar and Leonore Carrington unless one also includes Desmond Morris still more known as a zoologist than an artist. The architecture of the gallery, the first purpose built art gallery anywhere in the world to a design by Sir John Soane is of considerable interest in itself. There is a bookshop and cafe.

Pre-booking required. Visit guildhall-art-gallery.arttickets.org.uk. The Gallery shows a changing display of about 250 artworks from its collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture, in addition to a programme of temporary exhibitions. The Gallery is also responsible for significant works of art held elsewhere including the monuments in the Guildhall, statues in the Old Bailey and further sculptures and the Harold Samuel Collection of 17th Century Dutch and Flemish Paintings at Mansion House, the Lord Mayor's residence. A rich variety of Victorian paintings can be seen as you enter the Gallery, displayed in original 19th century style. The collections illustrate the key artistic movements and influences of the Victorian period, from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, to Orientalism, Classicism and narrative painting. The Gallery's collection of London paintings opens a window onto unusual, memorable and colourful scenes from the city's history.
To be frank I rarely write reviews of anything in London since I live here and keep my reviews for my travels, However, in this peculiar year my travels are restricted to London so it seems reasonable to write reviews. I regularly visit the Guildhall Gallery and had wanted to see the temporary exhibition before lockdown. So I am pleased to see it now. Limited opening. Book on-line. Controlled numbers. Toilets. Hand sanitizer. Very nice temporary exhibition-Enchanted Interiors. Limited part opening of the permanent galleries. You can see many of the great Victorian paintings but the many of London not yet back. Go again.

This lovely arcade is 200 years old and is stylishly decorated for Christmas. There is a good range of luxury outlets though a number of them are closed until the New Year.

An amazing food market dating back to the 13th century.
Borough Market is a must see when spending time in London. The market stands on a location that purveyors have been selling their good for nearly a 1000yrs. This place is a foodie heaven and is great place for delicious affordable eats as well as gifts and mementos that can be enjoyed at home.
