London

London can feel overwhelming to the outsider, but beyond the centre, the dense metropolis splits into a collection of towns and villages, each with their own identity. While you should definitely see a few of the famous landmarks, galleries and museums, the owners of our special places can guide you to new discoveries and an insider’s perspective on the capital. Tour markets with resident traders, chat to friendly pub staff about the local attractions or just flip through the welcome book for personal recommendations on food and fun.
