When you are lucky enough to be in a city with a world-class art scene, my God, get thee to a theatre! London plays host to some of the best theatre, opera, ballet, visual art and musicals in the world and it would be a shame to visit the city without taking advantage of all it has to offer. As I live in a city where performance are rarely worth their large entry prices, I love to see a good ballet at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden whenever I visit London. Home to some of the best ballet on earth, the ROH is a beautiful old opera house dating back to the 18th century, located in the Covent Garden district downtown London. Ticket prices may be steep, but in my opinion they are worth every penny. For an incredible experience you will treasure for the rest of your life, splurge on a classical ballet next time you are in London.
Restaurant: Pubs

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in London, go to a pub. No visit to the land of fish & chips and bangers & mash is complete without an evening spent at one of the city's hundreds of charming, cosy pubs. Traveling in London on a budget, I figured I was doomed to mushy, inedible, overpriced "food", until a fellow traveler enlightened me to the world of pub grub. A great place to catch the game or chat with locals, the food in pubs is generally pretty tasty and the price is unbeatable. Seek refuge from a cold, rainy Autumn evening and enjoy a pint or three with some friends, English-style.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité! Well, the French had one thing right - a heartfelt passion for liberty. Nevermind that les Français embody this in a flag whereas their "friends" across the Channel express it through a luxurious shopping experience. That's right, Liberty of London on Regent Street is high-end designer boutique that carries the latest brands on several fabulous floors. Whether or not you can afford to shop there, the place is definitely worth a look around. Complete with wooden-beamed ceilings and walls à la Stratford-upon-Avon, Liberty department store is also the name behind the coveted Liberty scarves. Next time you are in the neighborhood, spend some time back in the 1800s strolling through the wonderfully maintained rooms of London's most beautiful department store.
