Flagship all-night club from trailblazing global dance and house music brand. Open till 6am. A fun night out within a 10 minute walk from the flat (but far enough that there's no noise spillover :-)).

This old square features the oldest freestanding statue in London and walking through it will give you a feel for what it must've been like living in a stately part of London back in the 1800s! Secret spot :-) Just breathe the atmosphere in.

The one and only Tower Bridge, as featured on pretty much any London postcard. Just a 20 minute walk to glimpse it. Pass by the Mayor's Office on the way!

The Globe, Shakespeare's theatre, puts on fantastic plays from the bard and is also a pretty cool reconstruction of what it would've looked like. If you can get tickets, highly recommend it! Even though you probably won't understand everything :-)

Arts & Culture

The famous modern art museum - go check it out, museums are free. Great for kids! Head on up to the cafe, it's got a great view of the city and St Paul's, which is just across the river.

One of the best indie theatres in London. They put on thought provoking, intense productions, and always have something interesting on. They also have a bar outside the theatre which is a nice place to grab a drink in any case.

A park just across the road. It's got an outdoor gym and some basketball courts, in case you're feeling itchy. Not quite big enough to jog, check out Burgess Park for that.

Essentials

It's kind of outrageous to call Borough Market 'Essentials' - it's one of the prime food markets in London and sells everything from fresh English oysters to chanterelle mushrooms, French cheese, and obscure Australian sweets. If you want to cook, treat yourself and get your ingredients here... YOU'RE ON HOLIDAY! So so good. While you're shopping, get something from one of the food stalls. Yum.
