London - I want your best tips!

 

We are going to London for a few days in the middle of february to visit Simon's sister and her fiance! I've been to London a few times but I never really fell in love. I am absolutely sure that this is because I haven't been to the right places! I'm sure our hosts have tons of great tips, but I thought I'd ask you too! So... I'm interested in everything; Museums, restaurants, current exhibitions, shopping, nice areas, cafés, clubs... everything! Fire away!

Da vil jeg anbefale Brick Lane og ettersom jeg var der i 2008 (tror jeg det var), måtte jeg finne tilbake til det jeg skrev om stedet da:

"Min vintagegale lillebror klarte å dra oss med ut til Brick Lane i London. Med rykte om kjempemarked (Spittafield- søndager, der er det og en knallkul butikk; all saints, på vei til brick lane-sjekk nettsiden deres) og masse vintage shopping var han veldig ivrig på å se noe annet enn Oxford Street og TopShop. Jeg derimot er ikke vintage fan, men ble veldig positivt overrasket. Brick Lane har mange trendy og kule up- and- comming designere, endel utsalg med kule og billige klær, steder med veldig billig mat (nær brick lane market) og veldig billig cappe- latte til ett pund. Og Brick Lane markedet er veldig spennende, med mange forskjellige boder, litt alla camden. Anbefales på det varmeste og særlig om man vil se noe annet av London. (Min mor så også en rev løpe over gata midt i sentrum. det er ikke hver dag...)"

Håper kanskje dette tipset kan gi deg et annet inntrykk av london.

I lived in London for almost two years and could probably give you some pointers but I will refer to Lisa Millberg's blog instead. She's left London now but there are still lots of hidden gems on her blog http://rodeo.net/milbergslondon/

Borough Market! Glid runt med ett glas mousserande i handen, smaka på ostar, charketurier, bakverk osv. Det blir rätt fullt på helgerna, så gå dit vid elvatiden. Trevlig resa!

Masse, masse og enda flere tips inne hos Avdelingen. London er favorittbyen og vi er innom minst to ganger i året på koseturer samt eventuelle jobbeturer i tillegg.

I never visited London, but it is one of my future travel (at the moment, the next one is Berlin!). So I have not informations for you but...can I ask you a picture? I've a section in my blog where I publish photos of travelers holding a sign with the name of my blog :D.

i know the feeling of not quite getting what was so special about london. But last time i visited i finally found the london i was looking for.
You'll find everything you were looking for in this area:

It has vintage shops, beautiful decoration shops, art, great graffiti everywhere, really, i could stroll trough the streets of shoreditch and east london for days.

Labour and Wait is at 85 Redchurch Street and 18 Cheshire Street, both worth a visit. and Albion is just around the corner of Labour and Wait.

Enjoy your trip :)
