Little gallery set in hyde Park. Fantastic for a hit of art amoungst the beauty of the park. Excellent day trip. Go to the serpentine or lido for ice cream and paddle in dianas memorial
Great "hidden" restaurant in Richmond. Accessible via a very nice walk from the station (20'), it's peaceful, relaxing and the food is very good. They also do wine tasting nights for members.
The new central London outpost of the Richmond Park favourite is as delightful as you'd expect - less glasshouses, but more chic.
Situated in a train station in Kingly Court, Soho, Cahoots is an underground, 1940s-themed bar that is hidden in a tube carriage which was once used as an “air raid shelter” during the war.

Slightly off-the-beaten path, The Troubadour is one of those Cafes you cannot but fall in love with: authentic atmosphere, heartwarming smiles, good food ad great wines. What's left to wish for?
One's quintessential British pub: quaint, welcoming, with a good selection of ales, and a haven of peace right off hectic Knightsbridge, at the end of a mews. Plus, it's haunted!
They serve good coffee. Their location is right on park lane, one of my favorite spots for a quick cup of good coffee. Enjoy!
A delightful shop next the restaurant with both a section for men and women. Friendly staff and an impressive range of clothes available. They also have a luxury home items section as well!
Central location, great coffee and food, in a very quiet street. Plus, of course, the newest issues of Monocle.
Love the place, only wish it wasn't takeaway cups when sitting in. I appreciate a good cup.

St. John has been proving for a few years that gorgeous British fare doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. An absolute must.
The place is really cool and the service quite nice, however the presentation of the food could be improved. Tasty though.
It looks as good on the outside as it does on the inside (the draw of old traditional hardware favourites and newly-sourced goods is key here), so you’ll definitely want to come back for more. Read more.
The bring-your-own food policy makes for the best evening combo: a glass of their amazing coffee-flavoured rum with a burger from Tommi's. Also, the service is always great.
An overwhelming collection of mostly beautiful art and artefacts. Gainsboroughs, Canalettos...and a restaurant. So definitely worth visiting ;)
