Beautifully restored old English theatre. If you're in London over Christmas, you should go see a pantomime here - it's an East End tradition!

A lovely museum showing the interiors of rooms over the centuries. It's free, very close by, and the walled garden is a joy in the summer months.

Places to eat

Breakfast is my favourite meal, and the Breakfast Club is one of the best places to eat. It's lively, has a great menu and does a wicked Bloody Mary.

A mixture of Turkish and Arabic influences, great for meat eaters and vegetarians, lots of good reviews, not the cheapest but apparently well worth it. Highly recommended by quite a few of my guests

Sightseeing

I've included this bar in the Sightseeing section as it is so Olde World English - a 19th-century wine bar in candlelit, vaulted cellars with original Dickensian-style decor. Even if you don't drink alcohol, it's worth a look. Great cheese platters. Very busy on weeknights especially in the summer but less busy on the weekends.
