Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Langley Park

"Founded in 1753, the British Museum houses a vast collection of art and antiquities from ancient and living cultures, spanning two million years of human history. World-famous objects children will be fascinated to see on display include the Rosetta Stone, Parthenon sculptures, and Egyptian mummies. With so much to see, their free Museum Explorer activity trails are a great way to narrow down the focus when visiting the museum with children."

"The gargantuan British Museum houses treasures such as the Rosetta Stone and the Egyptian mummies, and is a great rainy day activity in London. However, when the sun shines, the photo opportunities are even better. Best shot: Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, the covered atrium designed by Foster and Partners."

"The first thing you need to know about the British Museum is that it is the largest museum in England and also the oldest public museum in the world. It was established in 1753 with its first collection being that of the Irish Scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The Museum was opened to the public in 1759."

"A lovely museum to visit, the V&A is located alongside a number of other museums in South Kensington and is home to a huge art and design collection. Set in a beautiful red-brick palace, delightful sculptures and statues are featured, and there are galleries dedicated to different parts of the world as well as varied themes. With Islamic and Asian art on show and exhibits on fashion, furniture, theater and more, this wonderful museum is the perfect place to stop by and spend a pleasant afternoon."

"The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design and is one of the largest art museums in the world. The museum houses a permanent collection of over 2.27 million objects spanning 5,000 years of art, design and sculpture from different cultures all across the world, with exhibitions on textiles, costumes, jewellery, furniture, drawings, printing, photography, ironwork, ceramics, ancient objects and plenty more. Nearest tube station: South Kensington."

"The V&A offers a decadent art and design extravaganza on a backpacker’s budget, attracting nearly 3.5 million visitors a year. Its vast permanent collection has something for everyone, be it textiles, paintings, architecture, ceramics, Japanese art, glass, china, furniture, or even wedding dresses. Even the building itself is a thing of beauty, making it one of the most instagrammable destinations in London."

"Just around the corner is the Science Museum, an interactive haven for visitors of all ages. This arrangement of free galleries maps the progress of technological invention, from the birth of steam power to our adventures in space. There are areas to get involved in problem solving and designing tech, as well as a garden where younger scientists can learn about the properties of water, light and sound through play."

"The hands-on style of this London Museum brings science to life for everyone.

Wander around the beautiful museum and you’ll find it’s full of incredible artists creations from many years ago. Portraits of important people in British history is the main theme in The National Gallery."

"A day is the perfect amount of time to see the highlights: Cardiff Castle, the National Museum, and Cardiff Bay. Learn about Welsh history, culture, and language on a walking tour or by talking to locals. Spend the evening in Cardiff."

"In the depths of lockdown, with images being shared on social of an empty, zombie-like City, the idea of opening a massive new palace of Italian food by Liverpool Street station seemed faintly ridiculous. Eataly proved them quite wrong - the place has seen queues for miles ever since it threw open its doors. Go to marvel at the huge grocery section, and then recover with a glass of Chianti and bowl of pasta in one of its many restaurants."

"London finally has the famous Italian food hall Eataly, occupying 42000 square feet next to Liverpool Street Station. Home to four different restaurants, two bars, a café for Italian pick-me-ups (illy espresso, gelato and cannolis) and a huge space dedicated to everything you could possibly need for your weekly shop, Eataly is the place for Natoora vegetables as much as pasta and pizza. 135 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3YD"

"The Italian food and wine marketplace has opened their first London opening in the heart of the City at Broadgate. Expect a huge space devoted to all things Italian - from delis, to foccaccia, cheese and pizzas through to new bars and restaurants."

"The one by Postman’s ParkThe Natural Kitchen started off as a simple organic food shop but has now become one of London’s top healthy lunch venues. Hearty and healthy options leave diners spoiled for choice, and the fresh meat counter is a marvel in itself. It’s perfect for assembling your own lunch board, salad or sandwich."

"Inspired by their families’ kitchen legacy, Mama Jacq’s aims to bring authentic flavours and ingredients from the Windward Island of Saint Vincent to the London casual dining scene"

"She is a wonderful waitress for someone who is new to the role. Will come here again for her great service."

"Glamorous, moody and somehow still cool, Michelin-starred Cantonese trendsetter, Hakkasan remains the benchmark of all high-end Chinese restaurants and the food is as good as ever. For thrifty-ish dining, keep to the ambrosial dim sum and splash out on the grilled morel buns. For a full treat splurge, try the jasmine smoked ribs, crispy duck salad with pomelo, salty and moreish deep-fried softshell crab with specks of chilli and for full decadence: champagne-poached turbot and Peking Duck with foie gras."

"Doused in Oriental mystique and wearing a Michelin Star comes Hakkasan. This high class fusion restaurant is a taste of Asian decadence where far-flung flavours unite for an ultimately indulgent dining experience. With a dark ambiance and a high end appeal, you'll be lucky to get a look in to this Michelin Star wonderland."

"Another Michelin-starred spot, Hakkasan champions modern Cantonese food, with world-class drinks to match. Make your way through freshwater prawns, cuttlefish shui mai and king crab dumplings, in what promises to be some of the best dim sum in London."

"Combining Indian street food and easy-to-eat formats, Wrapchic in London Designer allows you to build your own dish with an abundance of fresh veggie and vegan options. Packed full of flavor, spices and the best ingredients, you’ll keep going back for more (sorry!)."

"The capital offers gluttonous amounts of excellent pizza and Sud Italia is a top contender. The vintage blue van is parked up as you enter Spitalfields from the Lamb Street entrance. To create a beautifully airy base, it blends different types of Italian flour and lets the dough rise for over 24 hours."
