"British Museum is one of the most popular and interesting museums to visit in London, showcasing more than 13 million artifacts of human history, art, and culture. Artifacts and objects from Babylon, China, Assyria and various parts of Europe, displayed here, leave people fascinated and awestruck. Add this to your itinerary since it is one of the museums located in Central London."

"The Museum of Manufactures, as the V&A was known when it opened in 1852, was part of Prince Albert’s legacy to the nation in the aftermath of the successful Great Exhibition of 1851. It houses the world's largest collection of decorative arts, from Asian ceramics to Middle Eastern rugs, Chinese paintings, Western furniture, fashion from all ages and modern-day domestic appliances. The (ticketed) temporary exhibitions are another highlight, covering anything from David Bowie retrospectives to designer Alexander McQueen, special materials and trends."

"V&A South Kensington is the world's greatest museum of art and design, with collections unrivaled in their scope and diversity. Discover 3000 years' worth of amazing artifacts from many of the world's richest cultures including ceramics, furniture, fashion, glass, jewelry, metalwork, photographs, sculpture, textiles and paintings which makes it one of the most interesting museums in London."

"In the trinity of London museums, up next comes the Victoria & Albert Museum. Also located in South Kensington, just across the street from the Natural History and Science Museums, you will find the V&A. This museum couldn’t be more different from the first two on this list."

"The Science Museum in South Kensington is one of the best London museums for kids, and our top choice for interactive exhibits and amazing educational experiences. There are seven floors of exhibits across award-winning exhibitions and permanent galleries. With so much to do, visiting the Science Museum is also one of the best free things to do in London with kids."

"There’s something here for absolutely everyone with seven floors of exhibits, including the Apollo 10 command module and a flight simulator. The in-house cinema shows scientific films in 3D, where visitors can explore the depths of the ocean and never-ending outer space."

"Housing masterpieces by painters including van Gogh, Renoir, da Vinci and Michelangelo, the National Gallery is home to one of the world’s most impressive art collections, and sees over six million visitors every year. Avoid the hordes by visiting on weekday mornings or Friday evenings. Whatever time you go, the permanent collections are always free."

"The National Gallery is my personal favourite gallery in the world. You’ll find some of Europe’s greatest masterpieces here, from Van Gogh, to Monet, to Rembrandt. I still remember being brought to tears by the doleful beauty of Turner’s Margate (?) from the Sea."

"The National Gallery is an art museum located in London's Trafalgar Square. The museum has more than 2,300 paintings, with some reaching back to the 1200s. The National Gallery sees some five million visitors each year."

"Selfridges’ all-day restaurant Brasserie of Light stays true to its name. Illuminated by glowing orbs, the centre-piece is a 24ft crystal-encrusted statue of Pegasus by Damien Hirst, which soars over diners with its colossal 30-ft-wings outstretched – Hirst’s largest piece of artwork in London to date. Another of Martin Brudnizki’s projects, the restaurant was created as the final part of the department store’s £300 million investment in its London flagship."

"It’s not everyday you see a sparkling Pegasus adorning the ceiling while you’re tucking into a meal, but then again it’s not everyday you’re dining at Oxford Street’s Brasserie of Light. Designed by the legendary Damien Hirst, you’ll find this crystal-encrusted Pegasus tucked inside Selfridge’s. Oh, and the food isn’t half bad either."

"Found in the heart of Selfridges, it's no wonder that Brasserie of Light had to look just as impressive as the building it's housed in. Boasting a menu put together by Portuguese chef Emanuel Machado, not only can you expect elevated dishes, you can dine under a giant crystal horse put together by the notorious Hirst."

"A deservedly popular spot, BOWLS practices the philosophies that underpin all good food; simple ideas, good ingredients and craftsmanship. It’s the brainchild of Le Cordon Bleu alumna Zarifa Ragimova, who graduated from our Diplôme de Cuisine in 2016. The Caribbean/Asian fusion restaurant serves almost everything within a hearty bowl and their dishes include Caribbean BBQ Jerk Chicken with Rice n Peas, Korean Bibimbap, BBQ Pulled Pork Bao, Japanese Miso Aubergine and Jamaican Curry Goat."

"We feature the Brum branch of the excellent Botanist group on Cool Places but it's worth knowing that their two London branches – and in particular their original and flagship branch on Sloane Square – do fabulous stacks of delicious American-style pancakes. But they are perhaps best known for a spectacular lobster and mushroom affair that will blow your socks off – not least because it will set you back 30 quid!"

"Doused in English elegance and conjuring the charm of the countryside, The Botanist is a hybrid of ultra stylish interiors and traditional British cuisines mastered with a Modern edge. Serving dishes of a gourmet seafood persuasion, you can tuck into everything from classic fish and chips to a scallop & shrimp burger."

"Coming in on the high-end spectrum when it comes to some of the best seafood restaurants in London, The Botanist dazzles any and all diners. Not only boasting creative and rich plates, their roster of seafood dishes are hearty, fresh and humble with that added pazazz."

"Thanks to its prime location right beside the River Thames, French restaurant Le Pont De La Tour offers picture-perfect views from all angles, day and night. The space used to be a warehouse complex, but in 1991 it was transformed into a luxury dining spot by Terence Conran. Food-wise, expect a blend of traditional and innovative French cuisine, with dishes such as confit chicken leg with black garlic, pancetta and celeriac purée and cep risotto with truffle cream cheese, king oyster mushroom and wild rocket."

"A luxurious riverside destination with iconic views, Le Pont de la Tour offers traditional yet innovative French cuisine. An elegant, 19th-century former tea warehouse, the restaurant sits alongside Tower Bridge and offers alfresco dining on the stylish terrace.lepontdelatour.co.uk"

"Hidden amongst the warehouses and walkways of Shad Thames, Le Pont de la Tour gives you stunning views of Tower Bridge. The food is equally luxurious, blending traditional methods with modern innovation."

"With the sunlight streaming into Flor’s first floor windows of a Saturday, the chic bakery, wine bar and restaurant by the laudable Lyle’s crew feels heaven-sent. Pam Yung is now firmly at the helm, and with lunch undivided from its mid-morning cousin, dishes might include cucumber aggressed by chicory and cocoa; a scallop aguachile with tarocco orange and rhubarb; or a maritozzo overspilling its cod brandade filling. Needless to say, the wine list is stellar."

"From the people behind Michelin starred Lyles comes Flor - a wine bar, bakery and restaurant in Borough Market. Settle in upstairs for great views of the street below and ask for recommendations – the team here know their stuff."

There is a large pool for lane swimming to work those back muscles into shape, or a plunge pool for cooling off after a sweltering detox in one of the three Turkish baths."
