One of my favourite things about London is the underground transport system itself. I love the design of the information systems and the stations have so much history — some of them dating right back to the 1800s.

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

Although off the beaten track from the large national galleries, 198 is no less an important part of London’s artistic heritage. Developed during the social unrest in the Brixton area in the 1980s, 198 has grown from a community arts space into an exciting contemporary visual arts body that is often the first place to see the next rising star of the London art scene.

A+ little book store full of publications made by artists. So many beautiful and interesting books to choose from.
