A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor.

Wandering in the area, we came upon this church by accident. Everything about the church and its surrounds is stunning and awe inspiring. From the medieval vaults beneath the chapel to the wonderful wooden benches/panels and stained glass windows within it on the first floor, it's a wonderful, peaceful place. It seems well maintained so must be loved and well used. Daily services are advertised. I'd have liked to have access to a pamphlet detailing some of its history down the centuries. The official website which I looked at subsequently doesn't do it justice.
4. Royal Courts of Justice
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 308 reviews
The Royal Courts of Justice are an attraction well worth a visit. Close enough to Parliament, the Temple and The City. With stunning Victorian architecture, a small costume exhibition. The courts were designed by George Edmund Street and took more than eight years to complete throughout the 1870s. The courts were opened in an official ceremony by Queen Victoria on December 4th, 1882.

I cannot recommend the sapphire workshop/ diamond workshop enough. A really friendly and down to earth place with a lovely vibe. They found a great selection of sapphires for me to choose from and Vincent (who made my ring) was amazingly patient and understood my vision perfectly. Midway through the making process, I was able to go In and try the ring and discuss anything I wanted. The whole process was exciting and Vincent has made me the most beautiful engagement ring and I’m delighted! Thank you so much!

This square really is a hidden gem, small, secluded but bright.It is surrounded by lovely Georgian terraced houses that the University now uses. Lots of the famous Bloomsbury set lived here. There is a lovely little cafe, serving home made foods.

I will be biased in my review, as I spent 3 years of my life at LSE, but I do recommend to visit it when in London. Great library to check out, great location. Diversity present is what London is about, so great place to feel this international city, so hard to replicate.

Aldwych is an area in Central London. There used to be a Tube station in the area, the station is still there but trains no longer visit. The station can be visited by arrangement with London Underground. The area is just on the edge of TheatreLand and is a short walk from Trafalgar Square and Coven Garden. There are lots of really nice buildings in the area including Somerset House and the Royal Courts of Justice. It's a nice area to wander around and enjoy the variety of architecture.

Very welcoming as you go in and takes your breath away as the church is truly beautiful. This is one of the churches that is mentioned in the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons. The area between the Old Bailey (used to be Newgate prison) and the church was where they used to hang people as it was moved from Tyburn in 1783. The hand bell inside the church was rung before an execution and you can see it in a case when you go inside of the church.
