With its array of taxidermy animals, an aquarium and a musical instrument gallery, the museum is a treat for the curious mind and also boasts a beautiful botanical garden.
GREENWICH FOOT TUNNEL

I love cycling alongside Deptford Creek to the Cutty Sark and the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, which crosses beneath the Thames to the Isle of Dogs. From here I cross over on foot, coming out into Mudchute.
BOROUGH MARKET

Filled with so much lovely fresh produce and speciality ingredients, I see this market as “London’s larder”.

A great place for spectacular panoramic views and a quiet space to relax and read a book.
