A cultural guide to London
Entertaining, enriching and eccentric, the English capital is an unmissable destination whether you’re seeking towering history or cutting-edge art and culture
KEY NEIGHBORHOODS
Soho
The vibe
The once-seedy streets of Soho have been a hotbed of culinary, fashion and design creativity for decades, and no visit to London can sidestep this corner of the West End. Chaotic, crowded and charming, this densely packed grid of streets borders Shaftesbury Avenue’s theaters, the shops of Regent Street and the abundant eateries of Chinatown. At the luxury end, Ham Yard Hotel offers a chic haven; Karma Sanctum is a bargain for the area.
Where to stay
South Bank
the vibe
Culturally dynamic, crammed with drinking and dining options and yet unfailingly handsome, the South Bank of the River Thames is where you’ll find cultural heavyweights like the Southbank Centre, National Theatre, Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre and the British Film Institute. Sea Containers London has river views and one of the coolest cocktail bars in the city, Lyaness, while the more affordable Hoxton Southwark is both trendy and kid-friendly.
Where to stay
Bermondsey
the vibe
If you’re a regular visitor to London, or simply prefer more of a neighborhood vibe, Bermondsey has become the city’s most name-droppable culinary and cultural go-to, with the White Cube gallery and Fashion and Textile Museum minutes from the foodie haven that is Maltby Street Market. Bermonds Locke is an exemplary apart-hotel with a cool co-working space and café, while the more affordable Residence Inn by Marriott London Tower Bridge is elegant and eco-certified.
