"Old Royal Naval College This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Greenwich. It once served as a naval hospital and later as a naval college. Now, this site is being used as a filming location for many famous movies such as The King’s Speech, Patriot Games, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Avengers, and The Dark Knight Rises."
"The Old Royal Naval College is a set of buildings designed by Christopher Wren whose original purpose was to serve as a place to care for and house retired seamen. Later the large building complex was used as a naval training college and today is used for a number of functions, and many of the buildings are open to the public."
"Begun by Sir Christopher Wren in 1694 as a rest home for ancient mariners, the college became a school in 1873. It's still used for classes…"
"St Etheldreda’s Church is the oldest church in London, and one of only two in the city which have survived since the reign of Edward I. The exact date in which the building was constructed is unknown but is expected to be between 1250 and 1290. Dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon saint Etheldreda who founded the monastery at Ely back in 673 the church was purchased by the Catholic Church in 1874 and opened in 1878. As such it’s now one of the oldest operational churches in England owned by the Catholic Church."
"Dating from the reign of Edward I, this is one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in the country and was the private chapel of the Bishops of Ely"
"Centred around a menu of home-cooked, authentic Greek dishes, OPSO in Marylebone has launched an ‘OPSO at home’ delivery service. Delivered to doorsteps in Marylebone and nearby neighbourhoods, the menu features signature dishes such as tzatziki, Dakos salad, chicken lemonato (roasted chicken thigh with lemon-oregano gravy) and creamy potato mash; beef stifado; and Spanakorizo (spinach rice pilaf with fresh herbs and barrel matured feta cheese). Deliveries will arrive cold, to be simply heated at home."
"Turn your home into a Michelin-starred haven for the night with HIDE at Home, the delivery service from Ollie Dabbous’ Mayfair restaurant. Whether you’re dining on pumpkin orzo with sage butter, grilled lobster with masala butter, roast Herdwick lamb or blackcurrant Baked Alaska, you can guarantee the utmost quality. And if you fancy going all out, wines from Hedonism are available to order alongside the dishes."
"Locals love this neighbourhood Indian restaurant, which is often fully booked at weekends. Chef Patron, Sudden Alberts, describes the Swagat style of cooking as having a “lightness of touch", meaning the emphasis is on enhancing and not overwhelming the delicate flavours used here. Swagat boasts a fantastic selection of dishes from across India, including plenty of vegetarian options, and top-notch service."
"We’ve never been that impressed by Richmond’s curry houses, but if you’re hankering after a decent ruby in the borough, swish Swagat is the pick of the bunch. Co-run by the wonderfully named Sudden Alberts, it promises modish interiors (bare floors, flattering lighting, Indian artwork) plus a menu that runs all the way from samosas, kormas and rogan josh to grilled sea bass on a bed of cumin-spiced potato."
"Take in the tranquility of the almost secret rooftop bar in The Trafalgar, St James, Curio Collection by Hilton hotel, safe in the knowledge that nobody in Trafalgar Square below is as lucky as you. Grab a premium cocktail at The Rooftop and settle back into the cosy seating, as you see eye to eye with Nelson. Open daily, year-round"
"The Garden at 120 is the City of London’s latest rooftop spot, offering free entry without the need to pre-book. The location sits above the multi-colored crown of Fen Court and offers views to the South, East and West. The North offers an amazing close-up view of Gherkin tower."
"The restaurant has been around for 38 years — possibly the oldest Japanese restaurant in the UK. Kenichi Ikeda, the second-generation owner, acts as restaurant manager, with his brother supporting the operation as chef. The menu is wide reaching, traditional but top-notch and full of seasonal wow moments."
"39 James St, Marylebone, London W1U 1DL Why should you care?. Curry and rice are primarily the order of the day at the latest London outpost of this huge Japanese curry chain."
"One for the vinyl heads, DJs spin on a vinyl-only basis and on an old analogue sound system, making it a glorious listening experience for punters. Don’t be put off by the fact the dance floor is in a restaurant; come midnight, there’s a bustling throng of people mid-vibe, getting down where the tables and chairs were. Similarities to the beloved Plastic People are fair, and Brilliant Corners has kept the Plastic People dream alive with its intrepid programming."
