Here are some of our favourite things to do while you’re there.

Art galleries 

Some of London's best-known art galleries are within easy reach, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in everything from Old Masters to contemporary art. 

 

Mayor Gallery

Founded in 1925, the Mayor Gallery is London’s leading surrealist gallery. It also specialises in British and European pop art.

 

Royal Academy of Arts

Established in the 18th century by George III, the Royal Academy enjoys an unrivalled reputation as a venue for exhibitions of international importance, and runs a continuous programme of internationally acclaimed loan exhibitions.

 

Hauser & Wirth

This gallery shows work from celebrated artists such as Philip Guston, Mark Wallinger and Phyllida Barlow, and also exhibits some arresting installations. These have included Pipilotti Rist’s Worry Will Vanish, where visitors were invited to remove their shoes and experience enormous video works while relaxing on giant cushions.

 

Michael Werner

Tucked away behind the wrought-iron gates of a traditional townhouse, you’ll find modern and contemporary art nestled comfortably against elaborate wall mouldings and intricately carved fireplaces. The gallery represents painters such as George Baselitz, Sigmar Polke and Peter Doig.

Located in a repurposed office block, this gallery – one of 16 around the world – is home to work by some of the biggest names in contemporary art including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Salle, Pablo Picasso and Jeff Koons.

Le Gavroche

This two Michelin-starred restaurant is owned by Michel Roux and is one of the few London-based exponents of a 20th-century form of classic French dining.
