London On Legs

Here are some of my favourite hidden gems in London, I really recommend giving these ones a visit if you have time!

⛪️ St. Dunstan in the East: This beautiful ruined church, partially destroyed during the Blitz, has been transformed into a peaceful public garden. The ivy-covered walls and Gothic arches create a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city.

🎤 Amy Winehouse Mural in Camden: While many people flock to the Amy Winehouse statue in Camden, this lesser-known mural is a vibrant tribute to the singer. Offering a more intimate connection to Amy’s legacy in the neighbourhood she loved.

🌳 Hampstead Village: A village frozen in time, with cobbled streets, historic pubs, independent shops and cafes, charming streets, Keats House, or explore the Pergola and Hill Garden.

🏛️ Leighton House Museum: The former home of Victorian artist Frederic Leighton, this museum is an underrated gem. The highlight is the opulent Arab Hall, with its intricate tiles, golden dome, and fountain.

🎶 Wilton’s Music Hall: Wilton’s is the world’s oldest surviving music hall, hidden down a quiet alley. It has been beautifully preserved, with its original features intact. It hosts a variety of performances, from theatre to live music, but even just visiting for a drink in the atmospheric Mahogany Bar is a treat.

👃🏻 The Seven Noses of Soho: This quirky art project by artist Rick Buckley involved placing sculpted noses around Soho in protest against CCTV surveillance. Hunting them down provides a fun and unusual way to explore Soho’s hidden corners.

⛵️ Little Venice: This picturesque area is where the Grand Union and Regent’s Canals meet. It’s a peaceful, charming spot with narrow boats, waterside cafes, and pubs.

🌉 Eel Pie Island: Accessible only by footbridge, this private island in the Thames has a rich history tied to the British rock scene of the 1960s, with legends like The Rolling Stones having played here. Today, it’s home to artists’ studios and has occasional open days where visitors can explore this unique community.
