3 The South BankThis revitalised art district, unsurpris-ingly, is the place to go for a performance of any kind, or to check out top-class galleries. But you don’t have to be an art bu to visit – it has an excellent range of restaurants and is a great spot for stroll-ing. p000
4 Kensington & Hyde ParkSwanky and cosmpolitan, this is a mon-eyed, fashionable area of London – with correspondingly ritzy (and pricey) shop-ping and eating. It’s also a hub of quality museums (including the Natural History Museum and the V&A), and of course there’s that namesake park… p000
5 Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spital eldsThis redeveloped postindustrial area is London’s creative engine room. If you’re after a seriously cool scene, with superslick bars, cutting-edge clubs, galleries and restaurants by the dozen, you’ve come to the right place. But the ethnic melting pot of Brick Lane ensures it’s also an edgy and exciting area. p000
6 The East End & DocklandsTraditionally a working-class area, this is the place to come if you want an insight into modern multicultural London. Along-side interesting, well-endowed museums, you’ll nd London’s best-value Asian cui-sine and some its most colourful markets. p000
7 Hampstead & North LondonWith a number of posh ‘villages’ – Hamp-stead, Primrose Hill, Highgate et al – this is the place for lovely, leafy urban life, and walks through gorgeous parks (and cem-eteries!). There’s also plenty to see and do, with the London Zoo, plenty of markets and great nightlife all on hand. p000
8 Notting Hill & West LondonWith its rampant multiculturalism (Not-ting Hill, Hammersmith and Earl’s Court), exciting bars (Notting Hill, again), grand parks and mansions (Holland Park), bou-tique shopping (St John’s Wood and Maida Vale) and galleries (Notting Hill), this cor-ner of London is all about variety. p000
9 Greenwich & South LondonTranquil Greenwich, which is packed with splendid architecture and is a highlight of any trip to London, contrasts neatly with South London’s stylish Clapham and anarchic and artistic Brixton. Brixton, in particular, is the place for top-notch club-bing and music gigs. p000
1 The West EndPacked with sights and encrusted in gritty urbanity, this is London’s physical, cultural and social heart. Whether you’re after his-tory and nightlife (Soho), shopping (Covent Garden), archetypal London sights (Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Pal-ace et al), leafy parks (St James’s) or quaint ‘villages’ (Marylebone), this should be your rst stop. p000
2 The CityThe nancial centre of London hustles and bustles during the week, but is deserted during the weekend. However, what the City lacks in great hangouts and community, it more than makes up for with a wealth of historic sights, including the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Museum. p000

Once the laughing stock of the cooking world, London got its culinary act together in the last twenty years and is now the undisputed dining capital of the UK. Whatever you fancy you’ll find it here from world famous Michelin-starred options to ethnic options from around the world (Peruvian, Georgian and Swedish are just some of the more unusual).
The Place Below – Healthy, vaguely Mediterra-nean cooking at cheap prices (pxxx)
The Gate – Healthy, vaguely Mediterranean cook-ing at cheap prices (pxxx)
The Chain SceneLondon has dozens of chain restaurants that you’ll see on every street. Here we’ve listed the best and most reliable.
Leon – Healthy, vaguely Mediterranean cooking at cheap prices.
Wagamamas – Noodles and rice dishes plus some interesting desserts (wasabi chocolate cake anyone?).
Pizza Express – London’s original pizza chain still holds its own in a busy market.
Real Greek – Perfect for mezze sharing with a great selection of dips and meat dishes.
Yo Sushi! – Fast-food Japanese style; grab what you want o the moving conveyor belt.

Eating by Neighbourhood
The West End (pxxx) Main concentration of theatres, plus small live music venues and classical music concert halls.
The City (pxxx) Barbican Arts Centre and church concerts.
The South Bank (pxxx) Big name venues like the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall and the Globe Theatre.
Kensington & Hyde Park (pxxx) Royal Albert Hall and small, classical music venues.
Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields (pxxx) Live-music pubs and cabaret nights.
East End & Docklands (pxxx) Cabaret nights.
Hampstead & North London (pxxx) Small theatres, live music pubs, some classical music venues.
Notting Hill & West London (pxxx) Live music pubs.
Gastro-PubsWhile not so long ago, the pub was where you went for a drink, with maybe a packet of potato crisps to soak up the alcohol, the birth of the gastro-pub in the 1990s (The Eagle on Farringdon Rd was the pioneer) means today that just about every pub has full meals, ranging from bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) and a ploughman’s (cheese, bread and salad) to a host of more adventurous dishes.
Food MarketsThe boom in London’s eating scene has ex-tended to its markets. Borough Market (the city’s oldest; Thursday to Saturday; p000) started out as a wholesale fruit and veg sell-ers before becoming the tourist-haven it is today. Expect artisan breads and cheeses, mouthwatering cakes and pastries, and far-from-cheap prices. Spital elds Market (Saturday and Sunday; p000) has take-away stalls serving food from around the world, while Broadway Market in Hackney is hardly the place to get your weekly grocer-ies but does have some great snack options. Check out the busy farmers’ markets that have popped up all over the city too – Lon-don’s Farmers Markets (www.lfm.org.uk) lists the best.
Celebrity ChefsLondon’s food renaissance was led by a group of celebrity chefs who built food em-pires around their names. Gordon Ramsay is
the most (in)famous of the group and though his foreign ventures have met with mixed reviews, his London venues (eponymous restaurants at Claridge’s Hotel and in Chel-sea) are still standard-bearers for top quality cuisine. Other big names include Jamie Oli-ver, whose Fifteen restaurants have trained dozens of disadvantaged young people, and Heston Blumenthal, whose mad-professor-like experiments with food (molecular gas-tronomy is how it’s described) have earned him plaudits from just about every food critic on the planet.
Vegetarian DiningIf you’re vegetarian or vegan you’ve come to the right place. There may be a resurgence of meat-oriented restaurants opening all the time but there are still few cities where non-meat eaters have so much choice. At the most basic level every pub and restaurant will have a couple of vegetarian options (not neces-sarily vegan) which run from dull vegetable lasagnes to surprisingly innovative dishes. Dedicated places like those listed below will win over even the biggest steak eater with original cooking and not a nut roast in sight.
Mildred’s – Healthy, vaguely Mediterranean cooking at cheap prices. (pxxx)
Rasa – Healthy, vaguely Mediterranean cooking at cheap prices (pxxx)
The Gate – Healthy, vaguely Mediterranean cooking at cheap prices (pxxx)
NEED TO KNOW
Price RangesIn our listings we’ve used the following price codes to represent the cost of a main course:
£ less than £10
££ £10 to £18
£££ over £18
Opening Hours Tourist-oriented and chain restau-
rants: noon-11pm.
Most restaurants: noon to 2.30pm and 6-10.30pm.
Reservations Make reservations, especially at the
weekend, if it’s a popular place or some-where you really want to eat.
We’ve noted in reviews restaurants where you need to book well in advance.
ServiceService is generally good. The only prob-lem you’re likely to encounter is a waiter with limited English. In top end places constantly hovering sta can sometimes make the experience overly formal.
TippingTipping is not compulsory. For good service leave 10-15% but check it’s not already included on the bill (check). If it is and you’re happy to pay (it saves guring out the tip) then ne, but if service wasn’t great, or you would just rather leave what you want, then tip separately.
Haute Cuisine, Low Prices Top restaurants offer lunchtime set-
price menus and lower a la carte prices than in the evening.
Take advantage of the pre- and post-theatre options that many places offer too.
Etiquette Only a few places expect men to wear
jackets and ties, though dressing up can add to the experience anywhere.

THE CEREMONY OF THE KEYS
For those interested in the obscure ritual and ceremony of the British monarchy, the Key Cer-emony takes place ev-ery evening at 9.30pm. This elaborate locking of the main gates of the Tower has happened every day without fail for more than 600 years. Even when a bomb hit the Tower of London during the Blitz, the ceremony was only delayed by 30 minutes, which everyone agrees is the essence of the famed sti upper lip. Entry to the ceremony is free but you have to apply for tickets by post as demand is so high. See the website for details.
Within the Tower, food options are limited to the red-brick New Armouries Café in the southeastern c orner of the inner courtyard where you can grab a sandwich or soup. If the weather’s good bring a picnic.
wood carver also responsible for works in St Paul’s Cathedral.
If you haven’t gone on a Beefeater tour (the stan-dard way of getting into the chapel) then you can visit after 4.30pm, or attend the Sunday morning service at 9am.
2 Tower Green sca old siteOn Tower Green, i s the scaffold site, w here seven people were executed by beheading in Tudor times: two of Henry VIII’s six wives, the alleged adulter-ers Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard; the lat-ter’s lady-in-waiting, Jane Rochford; Margaret Pole, countess of Salisbury, (condemned as a traitor for her Catholicism); 16-year-old Lady Jane Grey, who fell foul of Henry’s daughter Mary I by being her rival for the throne; William, Lord Hastings, who opposed Richard III; and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, a fallen favourite of Elizabeth I. These people were executed within the tower precincts largely to spare them the jeers of the crowd and sometimes to spare the monarch the embarrassment of the usual public execution on Tower Hill, events that were at-tended by thousands of spectators.
It’s thought that a small building on this site was the actual place where the executions took place. Long gone, today the spot is marked by granite pav-ing and a glass memorial. Behind the sca old site is the Beauchamp Tower, w here high-ranking prison-ers including Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey were jailed and where fascinating and moving inscrip-tions from the condemned are on display today.
3 The Crown JewelsEast of the chapel and execution site are the Water-loo Barracks and what visitors most want to see - the Crown Jewels. T here’s always a long line so to pass the time until reaching the jewels themselves, visi-tors le past a huge screen showing footage of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation backed by stirring patriotic music. When you reach the vault itself (check out the doors as you go in – they look like they’d sur-vive a nuclear attack) you’re funnelled onto a very slow-moving travelator that takes you past the dozen or so crowns that are the centrepiece, including the £27.5 million Imperial State Crown, set with diamonds (2868 of them to be exact), sapphires, emeralds, rubies and pearls, and the platinum crown of the late Queen Mother, Elizabeth, which is famously set with the 105-carat Koh-i-Noor (Mountain of Light) diamond. Surrounded by myth and legend, the
FEELING PECKISH?
Food and drink options include a sandwiches and soft drinks cafe in the Great Court, a much fancier restaurant overlooking the Reading Room (book-ings advised), or several cafes, restau-rants and pubs opposite on Museum Street - the Museum Tavern was where Karl Marx enjoyed a pint after a day’s writing in the library.
The absolute kernel of London with a history as bleak and bloody as it is fascinating, the Tower of London should be first on anyone’s list of London’s sights. Despite ever-growing ticket prices and the hordes of tourists that descend here in the summer months, this is one of those rare pleasures: somewhere worth the hype. Throughout the ages, murder and political skulduggery have reigned as much as kings and queens, so tales of imprisonment and executions will pepper your trail.
The Tower is in fact a castle, and not towerlike at all and has been the property (and sometime London residence) of the monarch since it was begun during the reign of Wil-liam the Conqueror (1066–87). By far the best preserved medieval castle in London, it’s one of the capital’s four Unesco World Heritage Sites (the others are Westminster Abbey, Kew Gardens and Maritime Greenwich), and will fascinate anyone with any interest at all in history, the monarchy and warfare.
1 St Peter ad VinculaThe Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula (S t Peter in Chains) is a rare example of ecclesiastical Tudor archi-tecture and the burial place of many of those beheaded on the sca old nearby. Look out for the graves of Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Jane Grey (queen for just nine days) and Thomas More, killed for opposing Henry VIII’s religious changes. The impressive monument in the sanc-tuary is to Sir Richard Blount, the lieutenant of the tower present at many of the executions. The beautiful carvings on the church’s organ are by Grinling Gibbons, the famous

1 Mysterious and compelling, Stone-henge (p000) is England’s most icon-ic ancient site. People have been drawn
to this myth-rich ring of bluestones and trilithons for more than 5000 years. And we still don’t know quite why it was built. Most visitors get to gaze at the 50-ton stones from behind the perimeter fence, but with enough planning you can book an early morning or evening tour and walk around the inner ring itself. In the slanting sunlight, away from the crowds, it’s an ethereal place. (CAPTION GOES HERE IF NEEDED)
