Epping Forest is a 2,400 hectares area of ancient woodland between Epping in the north and Wanstead in the south, straddling the border between Greater London and Essex. I tend to get off at Loughton Tube Station (Central Line), which is about 10–12min walk to the forest.

Museum exploring connections between medicine, life and art. Fascinating range of exhibitions and great shop, library and cafe. Free entry too. 

French Bistro style restaurant. Cozy atmosphere 

Incredible building centred in the heart of London. Great for exhibitions, David Hockney is currently showing here.

Where 1984 of George Orwell got its inspiration from, the craziness of a real ministry of propaganda.
