London is one of the world’s must visit cities. It is world class in terms of art, fashion, music, and dining. But what makes London special are it’s unique and diverse neighbourhoods. Visiting the different neighbourhoods or boroughs of London is almost like visiting a whole new location.

Nice list of things to do in the area. I’ve got the V & A on my list for next time in London. Can’t believe I haven’t made it there yet. I really love Kensington Palace and having tea at the Orangery.

I need to go back to the V and A – last time I was really rushed and just got to see a few parts of the collection. Museums in London are HUGE and some really need several visits

Well, you mentioned almost all places that people should visit in London, but still I think that there are more of them and we can’t even enumerate all of them

We always, whenever possible, walk everywhere when we visit a new place. We rarely catch public transport, even if tuk tuk drivers in India and SE Asia can’t believe we’d actually want to walk from one place to the next! Now that we’re housesitting in France we’re back to eating healthily and my wife has started doing yoga again. Travelling is great, but it’s hard to stay healthy which is why we’re enjoying our downtime, getting back on the straight and narrow.
