Explore the market stalls, mingle with local vendors, and indulge in a gastronomic adventure that showcases the best of British and global flavours. You can’t miss the donuts from Bread Ahead, the Pork Sandwiches and the tasty desserts from Humble Crumble.

Since it is one of the best shopping destinations, there are some places that you can’t miss. You can check the boutiques of the West End or the major flagship stores on Oxford Street. And even if you are not interested in buying something, you can still check out some department stores. The most known is Harrods. Or you can have some fun visiting some stores like the Lego store in Leicester Square or the M&M World.

Try a traditional English breakfast

No visit to London is complete without indulging in the quintessential English breakfast. A hearty and satisfying meal that’s steeped in tradition and flavor. From cozy cafes to elegant hotels, here’s where to experience the ultimate morning feast in London: Granger & Co: a stylish eatery in Notting Hill known for its laid-back ambiance and vibrant dishes. Try their Ricotta Hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter.

Elevate your breakfast experience at Duck & Waffle. A sky-high restaurant located on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower in the City of London. Feast on their namesake dish, the Duck & Waffle. It pairs crispy confit duck leg with a fluffy waffle, topped with a perfectly cooked fried egg and drizzled with maple syrup for a sweet and savory indulgence with panoramic views of the city skyline. Another one of my favourites is Bill’s. From breakfast to brunch options, Bill’s offers a diverse dining experience that appeals to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Historic Pub Crawl

Experience the timeless charm of London’s historic pubs with a pub crawl through the city’s oldest drinking establishments. From cozy taverns dating back centuries to traditional alehouses steeped in history. Raise a glass and toast to the city’s rich pub culture as you sample local brews and soak in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of these iconic watering holes. Try The Lamb and Flag or The Churchill Arms (Kensington).
