Exciting Things to Do in London
London’s food scene is a global passport, but the real gems are often hidden in market halls. Borough Market is the headline act, sure—but try Maltby Street Market for a quieter, grittier vibe.
Order a salt beef bagel from Beigel Bake on Brick Lane at any hour. It’s cheap, messy, and utterly perfect after a night out or a long walk.
For a sit-down moment, slide into a pub with a garden. The Holly Bush in Hampstead has leather banquettes and a fireplace that feels like a hug from Dickens.
Pro tip: Always order the “Sunday roast” before 1 p.m. to avoid the rush—and never skip the Yorkshire pudding.
