Thinking about London? You’ve probably heard about the iconic red buses, giant clocks, and buzzing markets. But beyond the postcards there’s a city that keeps changing, offering new food stalls, pop‑up shows, and hidden parks. On this page we pull together the most useful bits from our recent articles so you can plan a day, a weekend, or a long stay without getting lost in the details.
First up, transport. Grab an Oyster card or use contactless payment – it works on the tube, buses, and even river boats. The tube map looks scary at first, but stick to the central zones (1‑2) and you’ll be everywhere within minutes. If you love fresh air, head to Hampstead Heath for a quick hike with city views, or wander along the Regent’s Canal for a quieter vibe.
Food lovers have a lot to cheer about. Borough Market is the classic spot for street‑style eats, from juicy burgers to exotic pastries. For a cheaper but tasty alternative, check out the food halls in King’s Cross – you’ll find everything from Korean bibimbap to vegan doughnuts. Don’t forget to try a proper English breakfast at a local café; it’s the perfect fuel for a day of sightseeing.
Culture doesn’t stop at the big museums. While the British Museum and Tate Modern are worth a visit, explore smaller gems like the Sir John Soane Museum, where every room feels like a secret collection. If you’re into live shows, catch an improv night in Shoreditch or a fringe theater performance in Southbank. Most venues have last‑minute tickets, so a quick app check can land you a great seat for less.
