IFS Cloud Cable Car
Views of the East End
IFS Cloud Cable Car is largely underrated, despite the huge sponsorship. It's one of my favorite ways to see London from up high — and it's inexpensive!

Kew Gardens
Botanical garden paradise
"Kew Gardens" is the famous UNESCO world heritage site in Southwest London. It's great to visit for its plants, flowers and Christmas festivities!

Richmond Hill
Dreamy riverside sunsets
"Richmond Hill" is my sunset-gazing of preference in London. The 20-minute train ride from Waterloo station is worth it for the view alone...

Little Venice
A waterside oasis
Picture-perfect "Little Venice" in London is littered with pretty & colourful houseboats that wouldn't look out of place in Amsterdam or Venice itself...

Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium
Cats and coffee
"Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium" in London's Shoreditch is the first of the UK's selection of cat cafes. It's surprisingly calm and quiet... and so cute!
