Each room took your breath away, from the vast collection of art to the Faberge collection and of course the Royal wedding dress etc., There are lots to see and I would recommend a visit, whatever exhibition may be on, there is...

Essentially a fancy market. There are some interesting but pricey shops in the area. You're mainly coming for the atmosphere and the entertainment. Go into the main hall to witness some impressive live music, and maybe pick up some light food. More

Even though it's very touristic, it's a very cool place. There is a very vivid ambiance. A must when coming to London! More

so much to see, do, eat and enjoy. loads of awesome, quirky and mainstream shops to choose from. Best during the summer when you can sit outside and enjoy the street entertainment..but also real special during christmas time for some shopping! More
