Also the Queens back garden, these beautiful grounds are great for a Sunday stroll to see the pelicans or to feed the squirrels. Duck Island Cottage is worth a look too, a idyllic little cottage situated in the grounds which was specially built as the bird keepers home.

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

My No.1 favourite graveyard in London. Calming, overgrown and a little bit spooky :)

You could call me biased, given this is the 3rd Highbury restaurant in my list, but if you're doing so then you've clearly never tried the Biang Biang Noodles at this unassuming little BYOB gem

I love living in cities with a river and the Thames is so wide! It is one of my favorite things about London.
