Bloomsbury Square

London, Great Britain

Bloomsbury Square, established by Lord Southampton in 1665, holds the distinction of being London’s oldest square. This historic garden square became accessible to the public in the 1950s. Visitors to the square can admire the charming array of 18th- and 19th-century buildings and terraces that encircle the area, adding a touch of elegance to the surroundings.

Outstanding Landmarks

Keats House

London, Great Britain

The poet John Keats lived here from 1818 to 1820 until he travelled to Rome where he died of tuberculosis, aged just 25. The house was restored in 2009 as a museum with period decor, furnishings and a collection of Keatsiana. Some events take place in the building next door within the grounds (Ten Keats Grove); the building also houses a volunteer-run public library, with a collection of books and periodicals, and free internet access.

All Saints, Margaret Street

London, Great Britain

An attractive Gothic Revival church, completed in 1859 to a design by William Butterfield.

Archbishop's Park

London, Great Britain

This park used to be the grounds of Lambeth Palace but has been a public park since 1901. In addition to the green space it provides, it contains a range of sports facilities (booking required, except for the cricket nets) and a playground.

Whitehall

London, Great Britain

This street runs between Parliament Square and Trafalgar Square, and is the site of several British government buildings. Horseguards Parade, and the heavily guarded entrance to Downing Street (see above) are on the west side. Banqueting House is on the east side. In the centre of the street sits the Cenotaph, a war memorial erected following World War I, which is the centre of the annual Remembrance Day ceremony on 11 November.

Museum of London Docklands

London, Great Britain

Tells the story of the development of the Docklands from Roman and Viking times to the present day.

London Wall

London, Great Britain

Remains of the wall that surrounded the City of London for almost two thousand years. The parts around the Barbican are mostly Tudor due to maintenance (Roman remains can be seen in and around the Tower of London). Other local remains are the 51.5169-0.095833 Noble St wall fragment and the 51.5177-0.092234 St Alphage Gdns wall fragment.

7 July Memorial

London, Great Britain

A memorial made out of 52 stainless steel columns representing each of the 52 victims who died in a series of terrorist attacks in the London bombings on July 7th, 2005.

Albert Memorial

London, Great Britain

Highly detailed, Gothic-style monument to commemorate Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Opposite the Royal Albert Hall.

All Hallows by the Tower

London, Great Britain

The oldest church in the City, founded by Saxon abbots in 675 AD.

Brompton Oratory

London, Great Britain

Beautiful Italianate church created during the Catholic revival of the 19th century.

Natural History Museum

London, Great Britain

Probably the most popular of all the museums here and a must see for many visitors to London. Home to at least 70 million specimens from across all the life sciences. It's difficult to say what the most popular exhibit here is; the blue whale which towers over the entrance hall, the (now slightly tacky-looking) animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex in the dinosaur gallery, or the life-size model blue whale in the mammals gallery. Also well worth a check are the Darwin Centre (book on a free tour to see some of the most interesting, and sometimes gruesome, specimens not on public display); and the studio dedicated to BBC wildlife personality extraordinaire, David Attenborough. The NHM's "Earth Galleries" were once the adjacent Geological Museum, an independent institution until the 1980s, and still located in a separate building with a separate entrance.

The National Archives

London, Great Britain

All non-classified government documents can be read and photographed here, with a (free) reader's card having been obtained. There is also a small museum, which does not require the card to access.

St Mary Abbots

London, Great Britain

Although there has been a parish church on the site since the 13th century, the present building dates only from 1872. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott (perhaps most famous for St Pancras station and hotel), who was a parishioner, and it has the tallest church spire in London. Imposing and formidable, without necessarily being beautiful, it is nonetheless Grade II* listed.

Mansion House

London, Great Britain

Official residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London, completed in 1753.

Richmond Bridge

London, Great Britain

Fine stone bridge linking Twickenham/St Margarets with Richmond. It is the oldest surviving Thames bridge in London, dating from 1777.

Green Park

London, Great Britain

In contrast to the other Royal Parks in the area, Green Park can seem a little plain. It has no lakes or buildings and few monuments. It is still a pleasant green, lightly wooded, area in the centre of London, neighbouring two other parks and Buckingham Palace.

The Shard

London, Great Britain

Go up the tallest building in Western Europe to see the furthest panoramic view of London ever to have a price tag stuck on it. Entry is to a timeslot, but once you're up there you may spend as much time (and extra money on tea, cake or cocktails) as you want.

18 Stafford Terrace

London, Great Britain

The Victorian residence of satirical cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne and his household, which is now open as a museum. The "aesthetic" interior design, preserved close to how the Sambournes would have kept it in 1899, features much Chinese and Middle Eastern-style furniture, art, and decorative schemes, along with a selection of Edward's cartoons, which typically ribbed the British establishment and its colonial-driven international relations.

Parliament Hill

London, Great Britain

This is a high part of the Heath with clear open vistas, and the views looking south over the city are quite wonderful. Highly recommended on a clear morning, when you can see from Canary Wharf in the east all the way to Battersea Power Station in the west.

Radnor Gardens

London, Great Britain

Park overlooking the river, with the local war memorial. Be careful at high tide, as it may flood.
