This newspaper kiosk outside Sloane Square station is unique in two ways: 1) It is London’s oldest family newsagent established in the 1800s and 2) It is in a kiosk designed by Thomas Heatherwick, CBE. This is the man who designed the fabulous Olympic Cauldron for the London 2012 summer Olympics and the current version of the iconic London Routemaster red bus. Worth a visit on both counts.

This Church located at the bottom of Sloane Street near Sloane square has been described at "the Cathedral of the Arts and Crafts Movement", by poet John Betjeman.The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that began in Britain and flourished in Europe and North America between about 1880 and 1920. This Anglican church started construction in 1888. The interior has a rather opulent gothic style and the most striking element is the Great East Window. This enormous window is the work of Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, two very prominent well-known members of the Movement. The window is made of of 48 panels in several rows and columns. They depict Old testament Patriarchs, Kings and Prophets. The bottom two rows contain 24 saints. In the arched part of the panel are scenes from the Bible (Adam and Eve, Nativity, Crucifixion). The windows on the North Wall are also worth viewing. Curiously, the church is decked-out in what were considered the latest mod-cons in the 1880's. These include hanging electric lights and a font, plumbed to provide running water!. This church also has an excellent schedule of concerts.

This statue tribute to José de San Martín is an outdoor sculpture of the Argentine general, installed in Belgrave Square, London, United Kingdom. It was unveiled on 2 November 1994 by the Duke of Edinburgh. The park is beautiful and even though the statue is protected by a fence is not really problematic to appreciate it.
