Look up, take a detour and see where the city leads. London’s colourful streets, familiar landmarks and unexpected corners reward a little curiosity. Here are a few sights to seek out while you’re here!
Portobello Road Market
You might come for a wander and leave with something you never knew you needed. Portobello Road Market brings antiques, vintage clothing and food stalls to the heart of Notting Hill. Take your time browsing, follow your curiosity and visit on Saturday for the busiest antiques market atmosphere.
Kensington Gardens
Take the long way through Kensington Gardens. Wander past Kensington Palace, pause beside the Round Pond and seek out the foundations of the Italian gardens. Enjoy a stroll around whichever tree lined path catches your eye.
Soho Square
Find a little breathing space in Soho Square, just behind Oxford street. Leafy gardens and a distinctive black and white timbered building makes this a lovely spot to pause between shops and sightseeing. Bring a coffee, rest on a bench and watch a little London life go by.
