A different side of London
This is a day for travelers that have visited London before, and would like a combination of new discoveries and classic London sights.
Take a stroll in Debeauvoir town
If you've visited London a few times and would like to discover a slightly different side of the city, make your way to Debeauvoir Town. It feels like a little village, rather than a town - you'll immediately feel at ease here. This part of the city is covered with tree-lined streets and Victorian architecture. Lots of families come to live here, and I can see why. Head to "Debeauvoir Square" and take in the atmosphere. It's simply stunning, especially covered in autumn leaves (when we were there) 💛.
Take Middleton Road to walk to the next experience. Beautiful houses!
Nature in the city: London Fields
London Fields: one of the green hearts of the city. London actually is one of those cities with a lot of nature in it (and there aren't that many). Such an advantage! Instead of visiting famous London parks (Hyde park, for example), head to London Fields. The park’s large grassy spaces are surrounded by London Plane trees and are home to locals, families, couples letting their dogs out, and... you: tourists!
Take the overground to Camden Town.
Discover multi-cultural Camden Town
Camden Town - home of many artists like Amy Winehouse, John Kiets and Charles Dickens - is an edgy neighborhood that brings together all kinds of cultures. In the famous "Camden Market", you'll find hundreds of shops, stalls, foodtrucks and street artists to entertain both locals and tourists. It's mainly famous for shopping. Get lost in the market, grab some food and just take in the (sometimes bizarre) sceneries here.
Kind of weird shop 😉

If you’re in for a long walk, find the next spot by foot via Regent’s Park. Stunning, yet take about an hour into account. Otherwise, go for the underground.
Lunch at Mercato Mayfair
This is one for foodies in a hurry! If you're in the city centre of London, head to Mercato Mayfair for a quick lunch... in a church. Choose between Indian, Italian, Spanish or Japanese food and enjoy your dish in the most unique decor. Easy because food is ready very quickly, yet the quality is still great.

London classics in the city centre
We were visiting right before Christmas time, so decided to go on a Christmas lights hunt in the centre of London. But even without the lights, these are neighbourhoods/streets worth a (short, because busy) visit: - Covent Garden - Soho - Bond street - Regent street Bye London, see you next time!
