I love Camden Market so much. Every time I visit I come home with so much great stuff. Lots of…read morelocal vendors selling their wares. You can get everything from vintage clothing and jewelry to artwork and records. It's a funky, artistic, electric, bohemian market with a collection of local artisans and indie, small business entrepreneurs. It's an open air market that quite literally has something for everyone. I always seem to find the best selection of vintage Levi's.

What a fun place to visit!…read more We spent a few hours of our london trip at the Camden Market, and what a sight to see!! They have a variety of hand-made goods, food, drinks, and more. We tried the pimms drinks for the first time, and it was wonderful. I enjoyed to Sushi Burger and OMG it was so good. They fried the salmon to perfection and ill be thinking about the meal for awhile. The views here of the river is wonderful, offering this beautiful day to be seen from all over. The only qualm I have is there isnt much seating- I struggled to find anywhere to eat other than standing - so take that into account when planning your trip. Other than that, a great time to hang with friends and try a variety of foods.

I enjoyed a quiche. My daughters enjoyed strawberries topped with Nutella. We all shared a fish and chips meal from Poppie's which I highly recommend. Probably the best fish and chips we had while in London. There are olive bars and paella and all sorts of amazing foods to enjoy. Also pick up a Notting Hill bookstore linen tote while you are there.

Just approaching the area I was already awestruck that I was going to see this historic place of interest. I didn't realize that there's a monument slightly offset from the crossing at almost the perfect location to film. However, I do feel for the residents having to endure numerous tourists affecting traffic in the area, but hey, coming from Hawai'i, I'm for certain they are somewhat used to it. Coming from me, I do appreciate their patience for allowing me to cross twice for a nice shot recreating the cover. Thank you very much!!

There are choirs singing inside and music graduates and students performing on a daily basis, sounding the place in an angelic, beautiful echo. The internal decoration of the place is simply magnificent. The roof is painted superbly, the detail upon the ornamentation of the windows is spectacular and superb. It is the place tourists at Royal Holloway visit and take pictures of the most.

Don't buy your Kew Gardens tickets through Get Your Guide. You have to wait in the same line as purchasing regular tickets so it saves you no time and actually costs you more time than just buying them through their website. You're able to bring in food and water, which is fantastic if you're planning to stop by Ginger Pig and make a picnic out of it, which we did. The space is really pretty and their hot houses are delightful so make sure to bring your walking shoes and enjoy yourself!

This was a beautiful opportunity to get close to nature and enjoy quality time with my family where…read morethere was something for everyone. Kew Gardens- yeah I know - Metropolitan Ave, right between Forest Hills and Richmond Hill/Jamaica and 22 minutes from New York city; well this is the original, the Kew Gardens 22 minutes from London in the United Kingdom with a 22 pound( that's 30 dollars US )admission for adults and $8 US equivalent for kids up to age 15 , which I thought was awesome and so worth it. What we enjoyed - 37 acres of nature- wildflowers, tall grasses and beautiful trees. Shaded walkways as we witnessed gorgeous butterflies and dragonflies in their natural habitat. Comfy shoes please!!!!!!!! Suggestion- hire a tour guide for 20 pounds for the group ( that's $26 US) - worth it as they know which sites are popular, busy and their knowledge about the history of the trees and flowers is precious. Maximize your time here!!!! Then on to the Alpine House where we loved seeing some of the most resilient plants in an Artic induced environment. The best part of the day - the Hive - a recreation of a real beehive with the real sound that is 63 feet high( photo) with over 1500 LED lights and music symphony responding to the sounds in C- the very key the bees buzz in. You have to also get to the top of the 160 feet Great Pagoda for some nice photos. Thank you Kew Gardens for being open year round and having so much for the grandkids who are still buzzing ( fun pun) about it. You will need the full day to experience every awesome aspect here. They are open from 10-7.( The Hive closes at 6). Please buy your tickets online to save time. Furthermore get the subway or tube day or 3 day pass to avoid the lines or US credit card processing delays at the machines at the stations. Public transportation especially the tube or subway here in London is absolutely stellar. Parking here is crazy and expensive. So yes take the tube or taxis are $68-70 from Central London. Great day here! Fully recommend Kew Gardens as a must stop.

It's an eccentric mix of shops and stalls, but everyone is quite friendly and they're all very happy for your business. Easy to navigate, the market has two parallel aisles that run from one end to the other. But if you're too tired or you already bought a ton of stuff, you'd be excused if you only do one aisle. Conveniently located, the market runs next to the Hammersmith Underground line, between Goldhawk Road and Shepherd's Bush Market stations. You can't miss it.

In fact, the fabrics here are brilliant. I was requested to look for silk polka dot fabric once and you know what, it was all here. The prices are dirt cheap and sometimes you can haggle a wee deal. I always find markets a little disorientating and this one especially but if you have time to wander, do give this a look because you can pick up great deals on food and other bits for the house - brilliant.

If not then You should give it a go and exercise your democratic right to speak in public about whatever topic you believe in. George Orwell, Lenin & Marx have had their moment here and so can you. The wiki page can give you all the history but one visit puts it bang into perspective. Avoid profanities where possible or you risk getting nicked but, other than that, you can say what you like and then get ready to deal with the hecklers ... one of these classics may shut them up or lead to a rapid exit ... you choose !! Thanks for the feedback friend, I've only had few minutes here to make a fool of myself but it's obvious you've had years of practice. If I throw a stick, will you leave?

Heading towards Teddington from Kingston, approximately mid-way between the two, I noticed a blue sign and a fenced-off tree. Not the most beautiful tree in the world, perhaps, but thought-provoking to read the history behind it. As the plaque states, it was the site of an ancient elm (500 years old) that sadly had to be removed in 1951. The next year it was replaced by another (today, a relative youngster at just 57 years old). An interesting landmark, worth looking-out for, en route to Teddington Weir
