I need to get out of my side of town SW and get exploring more. Currently experiencing the East End more these days. I really like how you included solid accommodation tips.
Will remember to share this with future visitors to London! These are my favourite London neighbourhoods too! I lived in London for several years in the early s and your post makes me miss it. I may have added Islington and Hackney to the list. Gorgeous photos FarawayFiles. This post was one of them. Ahhh, London. I know most of these areas pretty well — except Notting Hill and Portobello. Great tips l!
Your photos are lovely and truly instaworthy! Great guide of London. I have lived just south of it my whole life and I know most of these areas very well. I must explore Greenwich more though. Fab post, Alex! I love they all have a different feel. And great tips about where to stay and eat too. Superb share for FarawayFiles. What a fantastic mirror on some of the best of London.
I lived there for 3 years but inexplicably never did Notting Hill except for the carnival?!! What a great guide to a different London, Alex. Ahhh I miss London! Your email address will not be published.

While much of the sprawling metropolis is often colloquially referred to as the city, in fact The City of London technically refers to just one square mile.
This is considered the absolute heart of London — the spot where the Romans first set up a small settlement known as Londinium. The City is quite a business hub, being home to the London Stock Exchange. Kensington also holds the questionably desirable title of the most expensive area in London. While it is a little bit further out for general sightseeing, Greenwich is one of the quaintest areas of London. It has a lot going for it — most famously, Greenwich is the namesake for Greenwich Mean Time — i.
You can check it out at the Royal Observatory. Once upon a time, Shoreditch would have been the kind of London neighbourhood visitors were told to avoid. Those days are long gone, ushering in an age of endless flat whites, hipster culture and some very, very cool bars and restaurants. Many are adorned with the street art the area is famous for. There are also plenty of vintage shops, foodie faves and great nightlife to boot.
The boundary between Holborn and Bloomsbury is fairly blurred, no matter though — both are worth exploring. M Forster. Both neighbourhoods are safe and clean, with Bloomsbury being a little more residential than Holborn. They rarely make it onto lists of the best neighborhoods of London, which is a shame as they have a lot to offer, even to visitors. One of the highlights of these neighbourhoods are the many great markets to visit, including street food hotspots Exmouth Market and Leather Lane.
Marylebone is especially popular with the well-heeled crowd, who flock to the many luxury boutiques and stores that are dotted throughout. The other sights of London are just a short tube or brisk walk away.
This canalside market is popular with both locals and visitors, and is the perfect place to pick up some new, cool threads. Read Next: Cool Things to do in Camden. Today, however, it is the poster child for urban renewal, home to many fabulously cool areas in London such as Hackney and Bethnal Green.
Colorful Camden is one of the best places in London to see live music. From the iconic Roundhouse, a converted steam engine repair shed, to countless dive bars that play host to small indie bands, this neighborhood rocks. Its street markets sell everything from jewelry to artwork and clothes to vintage furniture. Stroll along the Regent's Canal to the park of the same name, past the zoo. Or take a water bus from Camden Lock to Little Venice. Best for: Live music, canal-side strolls, and quirky market stalls.
The neon-lit streets of Soho are lined with record stores, coffee shops, hip bars and restaurants serving food from across the globe. London's entertainment hub, buzzing day and night, forms part of the glittering West End. Soho's theaters show blockbuster plays and musicals. You'll find countless pubs filled with the media professionals that work in the area and a thriving LGBT scene around Old Compton Street.
Best for: Blockbuster theater shows, record stores, and global restaurants. It's bookended by beautiful green spaces, Hyde Park and Holland Park, and has a high street flanked by stores for shoppers of all budgets.
Factor in Kensington Palace, a royal residence since the 17th century, and there are plenty of reasons to spend a significant amount of time exploring this decadent district. Best for: Big name museums, posh pubs, and park strolls. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content.
