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.

Kite Flying

Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Blackheath are the best places to get a lift.
Knights Bar, Simpsons

A more refined Cocktail bar, perfect for a more discreet drink, business meetings or if you're feeling like a bit of posh. Not the place for a big group night out (go to Smollenskys next door for that) but a nice, quiet place to go at the end of a long day.
Knutz

Zany, rude, fun and childish, here you’ll find a great choice of jokes and costumes. A shop for parties and for unusual souvenirs.
Konditor and Cook

Open from the early morning, Konditor and Cook serves delicious, freshly-baked cakes from its in-house bakery. Worth a visit for its ever popular hot chocolate.
L'Artiste Muscle

Everything you could want in a little french restaurant. It's cozy, located in an quaint square, and you just can't go wrong when ordering, the food is delicious.
La Porte des Indes

Dining at Porte des Indes, near Marble Arch is an unforgettable experience, on every level. Opulent and luxurious, it features art, antiques, a marble staircase and nine-metre high waterfall. Tropical plants and flowers adorn the spacious eaterie – 5,000 stems are imported each week. As well as classic Indian cuisine, the eight chefs whip up specialities from the former Indian French colonies and the restaurant is famous for its fruit cocktails. Porte des Indes offers a treat for all the senses and is perfect for corporate shindigs, romantic dinners and family Sunday all-you-can-eat buffet brunches.
Laduree

If you are fascinated by macaroons - the small, round cakes, crispy on the outside, soft inside with smooth and rich ganache fillings in the middle, Laduree is a must-go shopping place for you. One of the two outlets in London, but the only one where you can sit and enjoy the well known creation from Laduree while watching the busy street as a side-dish.
Lamb & Flag Pub

Hidden away if you are not paying attention, the Lamb & Flag is great for an early evening drink.
Lambeth Palace

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s official London residence is a famous riverside landmark. It dates from the 13th century, but it is the red-brick Tudor Gatehouse, from 1485, that gives the palace a distinctive appearance.
Lancaster Court Hotel

Between Paddington station and Hyde Park, Sussex Gardens is a quiet, pleasant street lined with inexpensive hotels. Lancaster Court is just a few minutes walk from Hyde Park.
