I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.

A very good selection of non-fiction, essays, and rare books. The Japanese book collection is gorgeous!

I grew up in the countryside, and if you're ever in need some instant escape from the city, this place is like a time warp. It's a huge space full of over grown mausoleums and graves, feels like a movie set. They also do tours.

A short walk from Oxford Circus tube station, Kaffeine is easily one of the best coffee houses in London. Whenever I'm working in the area I pop in beforehand to kick start my day with a well-made cappuccino.

Excellent gallery. It has big rooms which often feature large pieces and admission is free.
