8 Reasons to Visit London
London - Lonely Planet (PDF) >
1. London - Greenwich & South London (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Regal Greenwich complements its village feel with some grand architecture, grassy parkland and riverside pubs. Brixton has the creative edge in its revitalised market, Clapham and Battersea are full of hidden gems, while Dulwich Village is all leafy charm.
2. London - Notting Hill & West London (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Portobello Market, fabulous cinemas, swish parkland and mansions, canalside charms, superb pubs and clubs, varied shopping and ethnic eats all make Notting Hill and West London an eclectic must-see.
3. London - Camden & North London (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Leafy Hampstead, Primrose Hill, Islington and Highgate are splendidly upmarket, but there’s also diamond-in-the-rough Dalston, wild parkland, markets, Victorian cemeteries and a huge zoo. With top-notch nightlife, this area is a round-the-clock experience.
4. London - Richmond, Kew & Hampton Court (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Wander by the Thames, get lost in beautiful Kew Gardens, explore haunted Tudor rpalaces, go deer-spotting in Richmond Park and down a pint by the riverside at sunset.
5. London - Kensington & Hyde Park (Chapter) Lonely Planet
Splendidly well groomed, Kensington is one of London’s most pleasant neighbourhoods. You’ll find three fine museums here: the V&A, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, as well as excellent dining and shopping and graceful parklands.
6. London - The City (Chapter) Lonely Planet
London’s historic core is a tale of two cities: all go during the week and deserted at weekends. But there are ancient streets and spectacular architecture, and history waits at every turn. St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London are hallmark sights.
7. The West End, Soho & Covent Garden - London - Lonely Planet
With many of London’s premier postcodes, and superlative restaurants, hotels and shops, the West End should be your first port of call. Iconic sights, buildings, museums, nightlife, shopping, parks and theatres – they are all here.
8. London - The South Bank (Chapter)
The South Bank is now one of London’s must-see neighbourhoods. Home to the riverside London Eye, Southbank Centre, the Tate Modern, the Millennium Bridge and Shakespeare’s Globe, it also hosts waterside pubs, a cathedral and one of London’s most-visited food markets.
