Places that aren't mentioned in the guide books often:
- The Sir John Soane museum. Like the British Museum, but squashed into a residential property. 150 paintings in one (British size) room - bits of the walls fold out. A 3000 year old sarcophagus. Original plans for the Bank of England.
- The clock gallery at the British Museum. Mechanisms!
- Monmouth coffee in the seven dials (or by Borough Market, which is also worth visiting).
- 7th floor bar at the Tate Modern. Second cheapest place to get a good view of the London panorama.
- Primrose hill. The cheapest place to get a view of the London panorama.
