Living In London
Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, there is always something new to discover in London. This city’s fast-paced yet diverse way of life is undeniably captivating, and there is something for everyone. With Soho’s lively atmosphere and the leafy surroundings of Hampstead Heath a quick tube ride or taxi drive away, staying in a London Pied À Terre or Grand Pied À Terre apartment can be as relaxing or active as you wish. London is that city where you can effortlessly dip into a perfect mix of modernity and tradition. It is where buildings steeped in rich history carry contemporary intrigue and culture. From must-see attractions like the London Eye to pivotal art institutions like the Royal Academy of Arts, the Tate, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, a long weekend will never be enough to capture the city's unique vibrancy. Stay a little longer...
London Culture
Avid theatregoers, music lovers and history enthusiasts will feel at home in the big smoke. The Natural History Museum offers a stunning, historical collection of natural specimens and ancient artefacts, making it a great day out with the family. For a more vibrant way to spend a Sunday, go east to Columbia Street Flower Market, immerse yourself in the energy of Portobello Road Market, or seek out your neighbourhood’s best watering hole, indulging in the city’s many quirks and traditions are all part of life as a London local.
London's Shopping Scene
From the designers of Bond Street to the iconic department stores of Harrods, Liberty London, and Fortnum & Mason, shopping in London is unmatched. Further west, Battersea Power Station offers designer and high-street stores in modern, industrial surroundings, with lots of delicious places to grab a bite to eat too. For more boutique shopping, veer towards Mayfair. And if you do find yourself a little more central, an afternoon spent in Selfridges department store on Oxford Road is an experience in and of itself.
Sightseeing And Photography Spots In London
Much like Barclona's photography scene, you are spoilt for choice in London, with diverse architecture and miles of iconic landmarks. From Covent Garden's neo-classical Market Building to the lion statues that guard Trafalgar Square, there is something to capture on film on every corner. The Parliament Hill viewpoint in Hampstead Heath gives panoramic views of London’s skyline by day, perfect for spotting The Shard or Gherkin. By night, enjoy the flickering of city lights from the 11th floor of The Rooftop Bar at The Standard in Kings Cross, perhaps with a cocktail in hand. For more family fun, a meander or riverboat experience along the Thames is a must, whatever the weather!
Culinary Experiences In London
London has a food scene like no other, to be enjoyed morning through to night. From waking up with the Dusty Knuckle Bakery's morning buns, to evenings spent sampling dim sum at Din Tai Fung or an eclectic menu at one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants across the capital - you can enjoy cuisine from around the world in London. Not forgetting that a traditional Sunday roast, afternoon tea at the Ritz, or fish and chips in a bag are all essential parts of London life.
