London: the best of

Here’s one for whilst you’re winding down on a Friday afternoon: a Guardian article outlining Ken Livingstone’s 10 favourite London haunts. I’m not sure whether they’re in any particular order, but the restaurant Vasco & Piero’s Pavilion fills the number one spot. And Livingstone also finds room for Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum, among others.

I quite like the format, and it got me thinking. What would Boris’ top 10 be? What – indeed – would my top 10 be? Without further thought, I’m not sure – but it would have to include St James’s Park, Sadler’s Wells and the Sir John Soane’s Museum.

But this is one I’d like to hand over to CoffeeHousers: what would your top ten London haunts be? Just note them down in the comments section below. And, hopefully, we’ll be able to unearth a few hidden gems.
