You\u2019ve booked your trip to London \u2013 or are just about to \u2013 and now the tricky bit starts. With so many incredible things to see and London neighbourhoods to visit, how on earth will you squeeze it all in?! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born and\nbred in London, we love the way there\u2019s always something new to see. Check out London\u2019s\nnewest up and coming areas, head into the city for views of a changing skyline\nor into its cool East End. And with the advent of the city\u2019s new Elizabeth\nline, it\u2019s easier than ever to get around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London\u2019s newest neighbourhood – Battersea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nThames-side wasteland around Battersea Power Station is the latest area to\nreceive a touch of London magic. A \u00a39billion regeneration has transformed the\narea, providing homes, mesmerising Thames views and, beneath the railway\narches, restaurants, caf\u00e9s and shops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Pause for a coffee on the historic jetty and watch life on the Thames.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for Sunday vibes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your trip to London is over a weekend, then the city\u2019s East End is the place to head for. Start early at the Columbia Road flower market <\/a>where, on Sundays, the boutique-lined street is awash with plant and flower stalls \u2013 and a mass of people! From here, you can escape to the slightly quieter Broadway market \u2013 a Victorian street market with over 70 shops, caf\u00e9s and restaurants. At nearby Spitalfields, the former fruit and veg market now has stalls with clothes, jewellery and accessories as well as retail outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Enjoy the best salt beef bagels in town, courtesy of the Brick Lane Beigel Bake, in nearby Brick Lane.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for City Slickers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Covering just one square mile, London\u2019s Square Mile is the very heart of the City. Start your journey with a stroll round Eataly by Liverpool Street station, then continue through Leadenhall Market and past some of London\u2019s most iconic buildings such as the Gherkin and Sky Garden. If you\u2019re visiting over the next few months, visit Superbloom<\/a> at the Tower of London where 20 million seeds have been sown in the moat to create a magnificent flower display to celebrate the Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Forget a traditional English fry-up \u2013 make time for a delicious Italian coffee and custard-crammed pastry at Eataly!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London transformed \u2013 King\u2019s Cross<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Londoners have welcomed the ongoing 20-year transformation of King\u2019s Cross from a rundown industrial estate to a truly vibrant area where we all want to live! The area is still home to iconic cultural institutions such as the British Library but has incorporated its heritage into stunning new developments such as Coal Drops Yard and canal side apartments created from former gasworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Add a canal side walk from Kings Cross to Camden Market.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London by night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course\nthere\u2019s enough nightlife going on in London to satisfy any partygoer. But what\nif you\u2019re more interested in visiting somewhere where you can just soak up the\nLondon vibes and views? Head for the Southbank, London\u2019s cultural heartland,\nwhere you can take your pick of live music, film, exhibitions and performing\narts. Outside the National Theatre and Festival Hall, restaurants, bars and pop\nup street food stalls line the Thames side walkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hampstead – London\u2019s prettiest neighbourhood?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With picture postcard alleyways, leafy lanes and some glorious architecture, Hampstead<\/a> certainly comes close to being London\u2019s prettiest neighbourhood. With masses of open green space, highlights include national treasures such as Kenwood House and Fenton House. The best way to explore is to simply to wander and allow yourself to get lost in the back streets that lead from the main road. When you need a break, there\u2019s a huge selection of caf\u00e9s, bars and restaurants including the charming outdoor courtyard at the lovely Burgh House art gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: join the queue at La Creperie which has been flipping crepes since 1985. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London day time views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve\nalready highlighted the night-time view from Waterloo Bridge. If you\u2019re looking\nfor an overview of the London skyline by day, head for the neighbourhood of Primrose\nHill, and wind your way up the zigzagging paths for the best scenic view. Gaze\nout from the top of the grassy hill over multiple protected viewpoints\nincluding the London Eye and Canary Wharf. When you\u2019ve finished feasting on the\nview, head back down into the high street where a selection of independent\nboutiques and caf\u00e9s are big favourites with local\ncelebrity residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Pick up picnic provisions in Melrose and Morgan and head for the hill!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best neighbourhood for history lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a noteworthy royal, military, seafaring and scientific past, Greenwich<\/a> is a must for history lovers. Highlights include the Queen\u2019s House, designed by Inigo Jones, and Britain\u2019s oldest neoclassical building, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory. Each brings with it epic stories of history, discovery and exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Arrive by boat via City Cruises or Thames River Sightseeing or by air on the Emirates Air Line cable car from London Bridge. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
