Central / West End

The heart of London rewards a slow wander as much as a tick list. Between the royal parks and a clutch of free museums, you can fill a whole day without spending much at all.

Hidden gem

The Wallace Collection

A free museum of art and armour in a Marylebone townhouse, with a glass-roofed courtyard cafe. Rarely crowded, easy to talk in.

Walks & views

Sky Garden

A free public garden near the top of the Walkie Talkie tower, with sweeping views over the city. Book a slot ahead.

Culture

Daunt Books, Marylebone

An Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries and a stained-glass window, loved for its travel room.
