One of the few remaining bastions of alternative Soho, The Crobar is a metal bar which attracts a friendly crowd and serves a top selection of beer and whisky

Great beer selection, good food, and the big screen in their beer garden makes the Abbey Tavern my favourite place in London to watch sport

A charming family-run restaurant offering a great selection of freshly made hand-rolled pasta. Delicious:p

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

The Design Museum is a museum in Kensington, next to Holland Park, which covers product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. There is also a nice cafe on the 1st floor with beautiful views of the park.
