Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Ladram Bay

"One of the biggest, busiest and most popular museums in the United Kingdom, the British Museum is astounding to visit and is home to one of the largest collections in the world. With huge galleries that house artifacts from around the globe, one could spend months in the museum and still not see everything. There are over eight million items on show; visitors will pass sarcophaguses and statues, ancient texts, art and armor, as well as jewelry, coins and more on their voyage of discovery around the museum."

"From ancient Assyrian reliefs to columns from the Temple of Artemis – a trip around the British Museum is an experience that transcends time and space. The objects here are some of the world’s most prized artifacts, all carefully displayed in one of the most beautiful museum building in Europe."

"Five thousand years of art and design make the Victoria and Albert Museum one of London’s most impressive collections. There are glittering pieces of jewellery, intricate statues and a writing desk belonging to Henry VIII. You have to buy tickets for the big feature exhibitions – covering such diverse things as food, wedding dresses, videogames and Pink Floyd – but the rest of the museum is free to roam around, and well worth it. On a warm day, we recommend you stick around and sit in the beautiful courtyard with a cup of tea."

"Another of London’s most popular museums with younger kids, this is ideal if you have children who like to get hands on, but with collections covering science and technology from the oldest surviving steam locomotive to the model of DNA and the forerunners of computers, this is a museum that you could revisit over and over again. Along with the space and flight galleries, you can follow humanity’s technological advances, medical history, more interactive displays and also the IMAX 3 cinema showing documentaries. Only a few areas are aimed at toddlers and preschoolers, in particular The Garden which is focused on under-fives at the Science Museum- although with exhibits that make noise, a mini puppet theatre, areas to climb and play and the water feature (always a big favourite), this area alone can entertain younger kids for quite some time."

"South Kensington is home to three of the best free museums in London – the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the V&A.

"One of the big openings of 2017—launched by Michael Achenbaum of New York’s trendy Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC—these warehouse-style digs are a slice of Manhattan in East London. It’s a members' club as well as a hotel, and, in case you haven’t quite got the hang of the vibe yet, there’s a nightclub in the basement smothered in Sex Pistols posters. Chef Marcus Samuelsson has opened a branch of his famed Red Rooster downstairs, serving soul food—shrimp ‘n’ grits, chicken ‘n’ waffles—with a side of jazz."

"New York hotelier Michael Achenbaum introduced a new brand and vision to this side of the pond with this hip new Shoreditch hangout. Not far from Shoreditch House, The Curtain houses Red Rooster Shoreditch, run by acclaimed chef Marcus Samuelsson and serving up comforting soul food. Upstairs you'll find a 1,600 sqm rooftop, complete with the glittering Lido restaurant, Moroccan-style pool and day beds."

"Shoreditch’s shabby-chic aura is captured well by The Book Club. On a side street splattered with art murals, its daytime cafe culture gives way to a mob of partygoers as the sun goes down. Framed by whitewashed brick walls and anchored with table tennis, the main lounge is a social spot that’s amplified by a playlist from buzzy new bands."

"Save any face stuffing for The Book Club in Shoreditch this Pancake Day and you'll be greeted by a must-try menu of espresso martini stacks and fluffy pina colada towers. You'll be able to load up on these cocktail-inspired dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner, with a few treats too."

The chef’s table restaurant is headed up by Jason Atherton’s ex development chef, Andy Beynon, and serves an eight-course tasting menu focused around sustainably sourced seafood. Make sure to book a while in advance though as there are only 18 seats at the table and they fill up quickly.Where: 20 Sidworth Street, E8 3SD"

"Andy Beynon's London Fields restaurant is all about opening up the kitchen experience. That starts with a huge counter that you gather around for a truly unique tasting menu experience (with a focus on seafood)."

"Can you truly understand a culture without knowing what makes its people laugh?. The Museum of Comedy is on a mission to acquaint us all with the ingredients that, when combined, make up the British sense of humour, one Ronnie at a time. More reference library then proper museum, it's a repository of seemingly every book, DVD, VHS and LP that could possibly make you laugh - literally hours and hours of non-stop silliness."

You can also pop into the public restaurant and bar on floors 9 and 10 of Tate which has some of the most fantastic free views over the Londonskyline."

"If modern culture is more your style, we highly recommend a visit to the Tate Modern. From William Blake to Andy Warhol, you’ll find some of the most revered pieces of modern art housed in this red-brick temple of Brutalist architecture. The interior is almost as striking as the art it houses, with the mesmerisingly modern turbine room welcoming you to an afternoon of cultural exploration."

"Now you can cross the Millennium Bridge, a popular pedestrian bridge, to reach the Tate Modern, the largest international modern art gallery in the UK. The museum’s location is unusual as it is based in a former power station building. The museum displays both a permanent collection as well as several temporary exhibitions throughout the year."

His gallery can now be found in the enormous Neoclassical Duke of York’s HQ just off the Kings Road."
