CENTRAL LONDON
Londons heart is made up of many
districts including Camden, Islington
and the City of Westminster plus
the City of London, the main
financial area of the capital. This
buzzing region has a dense
concentration of offices, embassies,
theatres, museums, nightspots,
shops and state buildings and is the
official home of HMThe Queen. Its
famed for its arts hubs, including
the West End and Bloomsbury.
Hidden Gem: Prince Charles
Cinema. Its small, cosy and cheap,
and for some reason, not too many
people know about it. Its a nice way
to escape the city.
7 Leicester Place, WC2.
020
8808 8772. Tottenham Hale.
Off map.
SOUTH LONDON
Otherwise known as south of the
river, this area is less built-up
than the north and is appreciated
for its array of open spaces such as
Clapham Common and the parks in
Crystal Palace and Richmond. Its
popular for sporting attractions
such as the Wimbledon Lawn
Tennis Museum and cricket at the
Brit Oval. Its also home to
Greenwich, arguably the most
famous (and stunning) maritime
site in the country.
Hidden Gem: The Grenadier And
Its Ghost. One of the most famous
haunted pubs in London. The main
attraction is the ghost of a young
guards officer who was killed in a
scuffle (or by flogging there are
two tales) following the discovery that
he was cheating at cards.
18 Wilton Row, SW1.
020 7236
3074. Hyde Park Corner.
Map D5.
EAST LONDON
Once the capitals poorest area,
east London is going through a
fruitful period of regeneration and
will play a huge part in the
London 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic Games. Factories and
working docks have given way to
a unique arts scene, funky bars
and clubs, and popular markets
such as Spitalfields.
Hidden Gem: Postmans Park.
Tucked away from the hungry gaze
of many tourists is Postman's Park,
a charming public space in the
City of London.
Kind Edward Street, EC1.
St Pauls. Map B8.
WEST LONDON
Much of west London runs
alongside the leafy parts of the
River Thames, making it a highly
desirable area to live. Here youll
find Kensington and Chelsea,
which houses some of the capital's
most affluent residents, Notting
Hills fashionable restaurants and
shops and Portobello Road, the site
of one of the capitals most well-
loved markets.
Hidden Gem: Linley Sambourne
House. This is a unique example of
a late Victorian townhouse. Home
to the cartoonist Edward Linley
Sambourne and his family from
1874, it survives with almost all of
its furniture and fittings intact.
House open Saturday and Sunday,
or by appointment.

5MEDIEVAL FUN
Down to the South Bank now, to
see Shakespeares Globe, a perfect
reconstruction of the great
playwrights theatre (p. 36). Then
head east to the George Inn, an
ancient galleried coachyard where
the bard once drank. Nearby is the
site of the Tabard Inn. Chaucer's
pilgrims began their journey here in
The Canterbury Tales.

2BY DICKENS!
No-one has captured
London quite like Charles
Dickens, and I could write
a feature on locations in
his novels. Forced to work
as a child, Dickens had an
innate sense of injustice which informed all his books,
none more so than A Christmas Carol. Every year the
Charles Dickens Museum (the site of the great mans
home 1837-1839) decorates the house to show how
his family would have celebrated Christmas. Visitors
can meet costumed guides and find out about
Victorian customs from carol singing to puddings.
Charles Dickens Museum, p. 46.
Considering how inspiring this glorious city can be to
normal folk, imagine how it works on the mind of an
author. You can virtually hear their neurones fizzing
from here. Throughout modern history Britains
greatest writers have lived in, loved and written about
London. Follow in the footsteps of just a few
1BLOOMSBURY DELIGHTS
Start your day in Londons most famous literary district. Home
of the British Library (p. 48), it was here that Virginia Woolf
ran the Hogarth Press and that T.S. Eliot worked at Faber on
Russell Square, editing Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes. Wander
past and you might see one of its new authors. Its probably
too early to have a drink in Victorian gem The Lamb on
Lambs Conduit Street (Charles Dickens and the Bloomsbury
Group drank here) so try the incredible coffee from Tuttis just
down the road (

Out Of
Town
By Susannah OGrady
Attraction: Dickens World
Christmas wouldnt be complete without some Dickensian drama. For
it was the great author that immortalised the British winter in many
of his novels including A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. The
cobbled narrow lanes, colourful characters, smells and sounds of the
19th century that were the inspiration and backdrop to his literary
masterpieces can be found just one hour outside London at the
fantastical Dickens World. This indoor attraction has recreated the
scenes that Charles Dickens so famously penned: take the Great
Expectations Boat Ride, watch
an animatronic show in The
Britannia Theatre or head to
Fagins Den, a soft play area for
little ones. Theres even a
themed restaurant and bar.
Daily 10.00-17.30. Admission

ice rink (p. 54).

1095) is one of Londons most
charming pubs. Its chequered history
means this wasnt always the case as
it was once a bolthole for unsavoury
characters including smugglers,
hence its previous name, the Devils
Tavern. It was built in 1543 but rebuilt
after a fire destroyed much of it in the
18th century, but the interior still
oozes period features and quaint
nooks to settle into. Its riverside
position results in fantastic views of
the Thames, but dont be perturbed
by the hanging noose that interrupts
this tranquil scene. Its merely a
reminder of the pubs infamous
customer, hanging Judge Jeffreys, a
man of the law with a prolific record
of sending criminals to the gallows.
A pub with an equal measure of
gruesome history and fascinating
fables is The Grapes (76 Narrow St,
E14.
020
7499 2988) a traditional pub on the
ground floor with a smart restaurant
upstairs. Rated par excellence for
its food and atmosphere, it is no
surprise some locals are practically
part of the furniture. Despite its
Mayfair location, the welcome is
friendly and the prices are reasonable.
Of course a trip to the best
watering holes in London wouldnt be
complete without a visit to the pub
where everybody knows your name,
yes, youve guessed it, Cheers. This
loving tribute to the famous American
TV show is a replica version where
the staff are just as friendly and the
beers are just as cold. Dec 31 marks
its last day in its current location so
head down for one of the best New
Years Eve parties in town (p. 73).
So its easy to see why a trip to
the pub is so important its a first-
hand lesson in history and culture you
wont find in any book all for the
price of a pint.
Ale houses, gin palaces and taverns have served communities in the city for hundreds of years
A visit to a pub is the perfect way to experience the capitals culture first-hand, sample some fine
British fare and take a step back into the history of London. The winter months offer the perfect
excuse to cosy up and enjoy the citys famous hospitality, as Susannah OGrady discovers.

With Hermione Barnett
Say Goodbye to 2008
Well, we cant quite believe its here, but its time to wave off the old year
and welcome in 2009. The Mayors New Year contribution is the
massive fireworks display on the South Bank, against the backdrop of
the London Eye, and with 30 minutes of fireworks big enough to be
seen from a long way away, youll be ooh-ing and aaah-ing all over the
place. Best places to view include anywhere high, along the north bank
and on the river. A great spot is Somerset House; its riverside terrace
offers ringside seats. Skating and non-skating tickets are available, and
include a drink of hot chocolate, mulled wine or champers (p. 36).
The traditional New Year haunt of Trafalgar Square still draws the
crowds for the countdown to midnight, and while big screens will display
the Mayors fireworks, we do recommend spreading out along the river.

Peter Pan Christmas Morning Race
25 Dec Since 1864, brave members of the Serpentine Swimming
Club have eshewed a relaxing morning with their family and
instead gone for a dip in Londons most famous swimming lake.
The annual Christmas Morning Race is 100 yards (90 metres)
and the prize is the Peter Pan Cup. If the lake is frozen they just
break the ice and jump into the 4C waters anyway. The race is
handicapped, so everyone has a chance of winning. Come along
to watch the gallant winner hoist the cup, donated by author J.M.
Barrie in 1904. 09.00 start.

If you havent yet visited this magnificent venue, Christmas
is the time to do so. Even if youre not religious, all of
Londons churches are at their best at this time of year, and
St. Pauls Cathedral is no exception. Theres a full
programme of services and ceremonies, including the
dramatic Advent Procession (18.00, 1 Dec), the spine-
tingling Messiah (18.30, 4 Dec) and a childrens service
(20 Dec), not to mention the ever-popular Midnight
Eucharist a wonderful way of welcoming Christmas Day
(23.30, 24 Dec). See more on p. 98.

It might feel like London has been totally taken over by the
spirit of Christmas, but never fear theres still plenty to do
if youre looking for something different. For example, Red
Letter Days latest experience is learning how to fence. Yup,
told you it was different!
If you caught the coverage during the Olympics in the
summer, youll know about the delicate swords, strange
white outfits and lightning quick moves. What you might not
know is just what a work out it is you can burn as many as
390 calories an hour. Its also very good fun. First off our
instructor (a top coach) warmed us up with classic footwork,
then we learned to handle the foil. Our learners swords
were made out of rubber and beeped if you touched your
opponent. As you might
imagine, the real fun came
at the end when we
fought bouts against each
other. Embarrassed at the
start of the class (I have
two left feet and,
apparently, two left hands).
I soon became ultra-
competitive and keen to
score points off my
opponent. Its perfect for
those who, like me, can
quote every line of The
Princess Bride and darn
good fun for all.

The opulence of Russias Imperial Court and its lavish ceremonial
outfits is displayed for the first time in London in Magnificence
Of The Tsars, the V&As latest enthralling exhibition. The Russian
Empire (1721-1917) was, at its height, the largest country in
the world with 176 million subjects, and its power and wealth
is illustrated in this exquisite collection of more than 40
outfits. Incredible examples of fine craftsmanship include
the gold and silver embossed wardrobe of the boy emperor
Peter II and a five metre long, ermine-trimmed coronation
mantle (pictured), identical to Nicholas IIs in 1896.

which is due for completion in 2011. Current
exhibitions will continue in earnest while building

From 2 Dec The
British Museum is a
treasure trove of
Egyptian artefacts,
boasting the largest
and most
comprehensive
collection outside the
Egyptian Museum in
Cairo. So it comes as
no surprise that yet another gallery space is to be
dedicated to this mysterious civilisation. The brand-new
Michael Cohen Gallery presents the 11 spectacular
fragments from the painted tomb-chapel of Nebamun
(circa 1350 BC) after a ten-year break from public
viewing following a major conservation project.
Nebamuns life as an accountant in the Temple of Amun
in Karnak is depicted in the paintings alongside those of
him at leisure, hunting and surveying his estates.
Innovative technology recreates how the tomb-chapel
would have looked originally and includes an interactive
walk-through which takes visitors back over 3000 years.

DINING ON

Does it get any more
romantic than an
elegant boat ride up
the Thames looking
at the beautiful views
and twinkling lights,
before being served a
four- or five-course
dinner, followed by
live entertainment and
dancing? Its a lovely
way to celebrate
Christmas, and an
even better
way to see in
the New Year.

LAS
IGUANAS
We love these funky
Latin American
restaurants theyve
just opened a new
branch in Dean
Street, Soho, and we
cant recommend it
enough. On our last
visit the cava mojitos
were spot on.
Chimichanga came
with the freshest
mango salsa and
cassava fries, which
were both fluffy in the
middle and crunchy
on the outside. The
quinoa salad was,
frankly, perfect. Peles
favourite dish Xin Xim
Brazilian lime and
peanut chicken is
now my favourite. Las
Iguanas do Christmas
with style, offering a
seasonal twist and a
carnival atmosphere.
New Year at the
Royal Festival Hall
branch is a great
place to party.

THE LANDAU

loveliest dining rooms,
the Landau is
irresistible, and the
problem is worse now
theyve introduced
Sunday Roasts - the
perfect companion to
a hard day enjoying

pork and chicken all
local and organic
with delicious sides
and complemented by
proper starters and

December Deliciousness
As one of Londons most elegant hotels,
any restaurant residing in The
Lanesborough has a lot to live up to.
And after Apsleys major refurbishment,
it does amply. This lovely art deco
room is a perfect place to showcase the
sophisticated and incredibly delicious
Italian food which rolls out of Nick Bells
skilful kitchen. The service is quietly
perfect, but never snooty, and when my
partner and I devoured our aged
balsamic reduction and parmesan taster,
they smilingly brought more.
The menu is seasonal, so it will have
changed, but do try any of their ravioli
and primi piatti; the taste and texture of
the pasta alone is enough to make you
realise just why Italians dont eat pasta
out of packets. Secondi ranged from
wild boar and veal to lobster,
immaculately combined with artichoke,
pepper, caponata or perhaps courgette.
This really is modern Italian at its best.
At the end of the meal, if youre still
feeling that seasonal bonhomie, head to
the lovely Library Bar for a digestif, or
even puff a cigar in the Gardening Room.
Brilliantly, its open on Christmas Day.

Bentleys Oyster Bar & Grill
Theres
something
about fish and
grill restaurants
that we Brits do
particularly well.
They always
seem to have
an expectant
buzz, clean lines and smart, user-friendly design. Of course
that could be because theyve all been copying Richard
Corrigans Bentleys, now in its 90th year, and still one of the
top fishy destinations in London. A sensitive restoration
means the building retains all its original fixtures but with a
freshness that suits the style of the food.
Sitting in the more laid-back Oyster Bar, choosing from the
menu was utter joy, if difficult. Langoustines, oysters and
jabugo ham danced before our eyes. I settled for scallop &
pea fritters with mint and almond aioli (exquisite), my partner
tucked into dressed crab (amazing). We waltzed onto their
signature fish pie (cleverly balanced to be filling and tasty, yet
not too weighty) and fish and chips (a delight of crispness
and succulence).
The wine list has had critics salivating, and theres also the
possibility of seeing a celebrity or two always fun. Dont
resist the lure of this destination restaurant.

Rupert Goold, heads direction and the hottest choreographer of the

Food, Youve Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two and Consider Yourself.

Starry night
From 2 Dec Make sure to
book tickets well in advance
as one of the finest theatre
actors treads our boards in
Shakespeares Twelfth
Night this month. Sir Derek
Jacobi has been knighted
for his services to theatre
and his credits on stage and
screen are an impressive list
of the most challenging
roles in acting. His latest
character, Malvolio, is no
exception as his
melancholic disposition
invites ridicule and trickery. This Donmar Warehouse
production comes under the direction of artistic director
Michael Grandage, a fellow thesp with an equal record
of highly-acclaimed plays under his belt.

London Planner tries
to include only
establishments that
are of a good standard
or reputation.
Unfortunately we cannot
accept responsibility for
any problems that may
arise during your stay.
Accommodation in London
ranges from the very grand
to the intimate, from the
luxurious to the accessible.
You can choose to stay in
world famous hotels,
boutique B&Bs, guest
houses, self-catering
apartments or good-quality
hostels. There really is
something to suit every
taste and every budget.
Types of
Accommodation
If money is no object, then
London can offer some of
the best hotels in the world.
Names like the Baglioni,
Claridges, the
Dorchester, the Waldorf
Hilton, the Cadogan, the
Gore (right), and Landmark
London are famous across
the world and offer the last
word in luxury and tradition.
Many of these magnificent
hotels have fine-dining
restaurants and classy
cocktail bars, as well as
lavishly appointed suites and
bedrooms. A stay
at one of these hotels
is the ideal way to indulge
yourself and to imagine
what its like to be
rich and famous.
For those on a more
restricted budget, new
boutique hotels, B&Bs
and guest houses offer
stylish and comfortable
accommodation at very
good prices. Most offer
ensuite rooms, although
smaller establishments
might only have shared
bathrooms on offer.
Chains such as Ibis and
Travelodge offer a good
standard of comfortable
accommodation at prices to
suit most pockets. By far
the cheapest places to stay
in London are hostels such
as St. Christophers Inn
and YHA London. These
offer a secure
environment and sociable
atmosphere, often for less
than 15 per night.
If youre looking for
something more
flexible, self-catering
accommodation is the ideal
option. Youll find
everything from brand-new
apartments to 17th
century cottages on offer
in almost every area of
the city and at a huge
range of prices. Your own
kitchen and living area
means that you can decide
exactly how you want your
day to pan out, and self-
catering often works
out cheaper than hotels
or B&Bs.
Booking
Accommodation
If you are travelling
from abroad, it is
