What to do and see in St. James's, England: The Best Things to do
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. 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. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Just booked The Dog Walker for 2nd March, delighted by the diversity of productions I have attended since June last year at this lovely intimate venue, there is something about getting so up close to the stage - including LOL crossing it to use the bathroom ( maybe unique in the UK theatre world?! ) that is so often 'missing' at the larger theatres. I love the ambience of this place, the staff are always friendly and attentive, there also seems to be much friendly rapport between the audience. Oh and I do so recommend the mouth watering ice creams - one small tub is just not enough! Another added bonus is that quite often you can join the cast after for a drink or three round the corner at The Red Lion in Duke of York Street and lovely friendly pub. On a personal level after attending Quentin Crisp - Naked Snow written and performed by the fine actor Mark Farrelly on 29th June 2019, at his invitation myself and others joined him at the pub, and via this encounter I invited Mark to stage his critically acclaimed play at a place very dear to my heart, The Hill Station Community Cafe Kitto Rd, Lewisham, SE14 5TW, well I was delighted when he accepted my invitation, 16th January 2020 will mark a very significant milestone in the ten year history of this community venue, as this will be the first 'off West End' production to transfer. That we can already confirm a 'Full House' fills me as the event organiser ( my first at the cafe ) with joy. My thanks also to Jermyn Street Theatre - attending Naked Snow was a very significant date as it was just weeks after I started my slow still on-going journey to recovery and was the first time that I had in effect been 'out' since January 1st which in my 61 years was my 'darkest month.' Since Naked Snow I have also enjoyed, The Ice Cream Boys, One Million Tiny Plays About Britain, and Tea With The Old Queen. So if you have never been to this wonderful independent theatre, do come book for what will promise to be a lovely enchanting inspiring experience.

Few tourists walk down this quite street to the immediate south of Piccadilly. It contains some very interesting shops and restaurants being particularly known for menswear. There is also s very historical cheese merchant as well as some lovely arcades.

A little known gem in the heart of London. Well worth a visit with a knowledgeable guide explaining the history of this magnificent house.

Regent Street is a must for every tourist in London. It's such a nice taste of London if you walk along this street at night. Route as Oxford Street - Regent Street- Piccadilly Circus - Trafalgar Square - Big Ben Clock is higly recommended and will definitely be visited by generations of people.

Central London's leading gallery celebrating contemporary visual arts through a lively and diverse programme of exhibitions and events
Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom
Mall Galleries following a lengthy stint of exhibitions online are back with a series of displays showcasing figurative works by members of the various societies they represent. The space is the same as it ever was save that the bookshop and cafe are closed but the area previously used as setting for the latter now accommodates picture stands. The current exhibition champions paintings by members of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours as well as those submitted by associate or aspirant members. An impressive and varied collection around which visitors proceeded at a much slower pace than usual as though savouring delights of which they had been deprived during the months of lockdown.
