Paddle in the ponds at Hampstead Heath or stroll into one of the Southbank's many cultural treasures. This book is packed full of insider secrets - where to eat and shop amidst Hackney's hipster hangouts, what to see along Hammersmith's romantic stretch of the Thames, and why Bermondsey is the best place in town to drink beer. The capital has never been a more accessible and inclusive place, with so many free activities and high-speed transport links taking you right across the city. Fifteen diverse neighbourhoods, both trendy and timeless, have been covered in the depth and clarity that can only have come from living and breathing these places, condensed into easily planned and navigable days out. Galleries and museums; cool shopping spots; the best drinking dens and eateries; what to do with the kids and where to bask in London's greenery - it's all here for you to discover.
