Without even mentioning the concert halls, the choice of cinemas, the numerous art galleries, the Barbican Complex’s presence makes it a destination in itself. The seamless merger of residences, retail and culture keep the Barbican constantly breathing and there’s few better places in London to sit beside the running water and enjoy a quiet lunch.

Museum Quarter

Museums are touristy I’ll admit, but to have three world class museums within metres of each other is something to be celebrated and explored. Being slightly outside of Central London the quarter is often neglected by the majority, so chances are you’ll bump into more locals than you would tourists.

Today, Vale of Health consists of no more of fifty little cottages designed to maintain the same artistic charm of the past, often separated by narrow passageways, together with two small blocks of private flats.
You will forget you are in London, believe me.

Being in the very same place occupied by Churchill used during WWII and the Blitz, the War Rooms have an authenticity that few places have. Many historical sites can leave you feeling detached, but being placed in the world-changing events that occurred only a few generations ago will deepen you appreciation for those stood tall against evil.

You'll struggle to find a more authentic and cosy pub in zone 1 or 2. Located in Rotherhithe, with great views of Tower Bridge. It's the oldest pub on the Thames; feels like you're stepping back in time 300 years, though clientele is mixed and lively. While you're there you can check out the Brunel museum across the road. Serves food too.

The House of Vans environment and culture of skateboarding is a welcoming one.
