The Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice - words to describe: spell binding, sweet, thought provoking, unsung hero's...and definitely worth a visit. It's a public monument in Postman's Park in the City of London, commemorating ordinary people who died saving the lives of others and who might otherwise have been forgotten. Their names are on ceramic tiles under the awning.

North End Rd market - I can't say enough good things about it! Forget the image of an expensive farmers market (go to Borough Market for that experience), this is a traditional London street market selling cheese, eggs, veg, fish, meat, flowers, Thai and Jamaican ready cooked food and so on. And right on your door step!

Why doesn't Airbnb have a 'pub' option?! This is not a bar, it is not a casino, it is not a music venue - it is a good old fashioned British pub! And I believe this is London's most successful pub (and it's in Fulham) , if you visit on a sunny Saturday you will see why! A free-house so sells lots of beers, great wine list, reasonable food and great ambiance!

19 Regency StFeatured in many a film, is this traditional English fry up joint in Pimlico - keeping to its roots (despite its fame) it knocks out delicious all day breakfasts, steak pie with chips and gravy, and pots of tea. Combine with a trip to Tate Britain.

This tiny triangle of London has more celebrities per lamp post then anywhere else (not necessarily a true fact!) - worth a wander and some of your time, quite cute. Primrose Hill parkland (amazing views) is at the top of Regents Park and then you'll find the neighbourhood with its lovely shops and house nestled next to it.

Charles I moved here to get away from the plague in the 16th century and stocked it with deer so he could hunt! The deer are still there, but the Royal Family have moved pack to Buckingham Palace. It's a beautiful place to get lost in (Londons largest park) and then lunch on the river in Richmond tops it right off.
