DK Travel : London

A city of infinite colour and variety, London is both richly historic, tracing its roots back over 2000 years, and unceasingly modern, at the forefront of fashion, music and the arts. There is a fantastic amount to interest and entertain the visitor here: a selection of the best of the best is explored here.

Blue Print Café

A breezy restaurant with a spectacular view of London Bridge.
Bodeans

A proper american diner type place in the heart of London. Ribs, burgers and everything you could imagine, with big TV's blaring americansports. Brilliant!
Bond Street

London’s most exclusive shopping street, Bond Street (known as New Bond Street to the north and Old Bond Street to the south) has long been the place for high society to promenade: many of its establishments have been here for over 100 years. The street is home to top fashion houses, elegant galleries such as Agnews and the Fine Art Society, Sotheby’s auction rooms and jewellers such as Tiffany and Asprey. Where Old and New Bond Street meet, there is a delightful sculpture of wartime leaders Franklin D Roosevelt and Winston Churchill – well worth a photograph.
Borderline

One of London’s best small clubs, Borderline has hosted many international bands. There’s at least one different band every weekday evening, playing a wide range of music, from country to metal.
Borough Café

One of the few remaining workmen’s cafés in central London, where friendly waitresses serve hearty “fry-ups” and industrial-strength cups of tea.
Borough Market

Good food from all over the country comes to this traditional covered market near Southwark Cathedral. Try some cheeses, breads, chocolate and local beer.
Break for the Border

Tex-Mex food and western music to put you in the mood. DJs keep the music flowing through to 3am from Wednesday to Saturday.
Brick Lane

Once the centre of London’s Jewish population, this street is now the heart of London’s Bangladeshi community. Head here for inexpensive, authentic Indian food at restaurants such as Preem and Shampan, where a three-course meal can be had for a mere £10. Some of the best bagels in the city are made at the Brick Lane Bagel Bake at No. 159 – a famous dawn haunt for late-night revellers. There are vintage clothing/designer shops and, on Sundays, a lively flea market.
Brick Lane

Very cultural area, with some very unique boutiques and curry houses.
Brick Lane Beigel Bake
