Parks & Nature

We can give you a map to show the best way to walk to Clissold Park where you can see deer, goats, and an aviary, have lovely food or coffee in the old manor house/now cafe in the middle of the park and kids can let off steam in the great playground. There are also two large ponds with fountains and swans and ducks.

The beautiful 18th Century house (think Jane Austen) is set in the north part of Hampstead Heath - rolling countryside-like park. The house has a Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Vermeer and beautiful decor. Lovely cafe next door too.

It's built in a series of Victorian almshouses and shows the history of the English middle class home through the ages. Very well curated and with a lovely cafe!

The English National Opera is our more accessible opera house - the operas are all sung in English and you can usually get tickets on the day for £20 (or less if you're happy to sit right up in 'the gods'). Availability is partly because the venue is the biggest seater theatre in the whole of London - so it takes a lot of people to fill it.

My favourite room is the Tudor Room (upstairs) because it's small and it shows the history of our kings and queens with beautiful bejewelled pictures of Queen Elisabeth I and others, using lots of gold. It's like a treasure box. The upstairs cafe there also has the best roof-top view of any in London (literally, of roof tops).

Sightseeing

St Paul's is just such an important part of the story of London and you can visit for free during morning or evening services or pay to visit during the daytime (helps with the upkeep). If feeling fit and adventurous, you can even climb up to the whispering gallery and then further up to the gold cupola at the top, with amazing views over London. Easy to get to from us on the 4 bus.
