“London, Baby!” – 7 places you need to visit in the uk’s capital

Can you imagine anything more stylish and royal than visiting the capital of the United Kingdom? Not likely! Here is our pick of 7 places you should see while hoping for an audience with the queen of style, Kate Middleton.

1. Brick Lane

The street is situated in a district which in the past was roamed by Jack the Ripper – the East End near Aldgate East tube station used to be associated with slums and poverty. Today, it’s one of the parts of London frequented by artists, known around the world – among other things – as the location of one of Banksy’s work.

2. Tate Modern

The Tate Modern is a mandatory stop for modern art lovers. It was established in 2000 in a former power station and houses works dating back to the 1900s. Temporary exhibitions by modern artists created especially for Tate Modern are particularly worth recommending – they are usually displayed on the ground floor, which is seven-storey high.

3. Electric Cinema

A unique place which you won’t find in traditional London guide books. Electric Cinema is one of the oldest working cinemas in Europe, located near the famous Notting Hill. This remarkable place is decorated with red curtains and two-seater sofas, which makes you appreciate film art even more.

4. Harrods

Our list couldn’t be complete without this place! Harrods department store in Knightsbridge is a shopping temple with 90,000 m² space and 330 shops of the world’s top brands.

5. Sky Garden

There are many gardens in London, but this one is special. The Sky Garden is a botanic garden located on the top floor of a skyscraper nicknamed Walkie-Talkie, which offers a beautiful view of the city.

6. Warner Bros. Studios Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter

Did you wait for a letter from Hogwarts as a child? A trip to London gives you a unique opportunity to forget your troubles and visit the world of magic, where everything is possible. Warner Bros. have created a museum of Harry Potter, where you can not only see sets used in the films, but also listen to stories about the making of the films. It’s a magical place!

7. Fortnum & Mason

You can’t have London without tea time! One of the best places for five o’clock tea is Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly. The department store was established in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason. Today, it provides some of the finest food in the world. A cup of tea may not be cheap, but the blue china attracts Instagram followers like a magnet!
