Mayfair might feel like an unlikely place to discover London’s secrets. After all, anyone who has ever heard of The Ritz and Green Park knows that Mayfair’s all about the old-school spenny glamour. Well, that’s not wrong but we’ll bet very few of you have ever heard ofPickering Place. Accessed through a small archway, unmarked save for some small l...
WhileLeadenhall Markethas slowly crept onto an increasing number of people’s radars, it’s still unknown enough to warrant a spot on any list of secret places to visit in London. Let’s get the big stuff out of the way first – yes yes – Leadenhall was used as a filming location for Harry Potter. If you make believe hard enough, you can almost transpo...

Consider this one of those moments. What’s to brag about? Well, to be honest, most people haven’t ever heard of the...
There’s something straight up magical about Cecil Court. Maybe it’s the fact that, despite being sandwiched between Covent Garden and Charing Cross Road, entering feels like stepping into the Narnia wardrobe. The pushing crowds and ugly buildings disappear, replaced with a quaint series of booksellers, Victorian facades and still-functioning gas la...
We have to be honest,One Tree Hilldoes so well at being one of the secret things to do in London that we hadn’t even heard of it until earlier this year, let alone visited.
