We beg your pardon in this, but if you have already prepared
your list of visiting-spots on your tour to London, you would need a few
changes in this.
You would have planned your flights and booked some good hotels
near London’s Victoria Street, planning your visit to some top-notch spots
such as Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Portobello Street and Madam
Tussauds Gallery etc.
However, a little addition to your bucket list is the lesser
known spots, which are adjacent to these famous visiting places. Mind you! You
would not be knowing of them, but would surely regret missing them.
Here are some of the most famous ones:
The Mall at Marlborough Road:
It’s highly unusual to visit London and not see the famous
Buckingham Palace. For specifically this, people secure good hotels nears Buckingham palace.
However, after you visit the spot, the Westminster and the
Victoria Memorial, follow the Mall at Marlborough Road and head to St. James.
This is a budgetary option for the ones who wish to see the café that offers
weekend summer barbecues on its roof garden.
Cafes Around St. Katherine’s Docks:
This spot comes to play when you have visited the famous Tower
of London. After you visit the famous spot, avoid the traffic and reach the
Tower Bridge to move eastward along Thames Path.
This route would take you to the famous cafes near
Katherine’s docks and here you could find Whitby- the oldest riverside pub of
London (almost 500 years old). You could also find a famous hydraulic power
station, which is now converted to a gallery, restaurant and event space.
Alfie’s Antique Market:
This is, after you visit the famous Madame Tussauds gallery
to see the wax images of your favorite celebs.
Post you visit, travel east to the Melcombe Street, leave
Marylebone station and head ahead to the Church Street. Here you could find the
famous Alfie’s Antique Market, which is one of the best spots to see a wide
assortment of antique elements.
Look for books and clothes etc. and you could even find
dozens of antique vendors, who stand to compliment the newer European markets.
Lambe’s Conduit Street:
When you are done visiting the British Museum and have well
seen the circular, sky-lit atrium, you could now head to see Lambe’s Conduit
Street.
Get to see a huge collection of Georgian townhouses and some
neat little shop-fronts that almost remained unchanged since in the last couple
of decades.
While you stay in a hotel near Victoria Station in
London, do not forget to overlook these fascinating destinations that though are
cheap, but are absolutely worth visits.
