Griffin, Leonard Street

Go tar spotting in this grungy bar, most recently Amy Winehouse and watch out for my mates 'Fisher Price' self service disco evenings upstairs, complete with mickey mouse hands!
Grosvenor House Hotel

Extremely comfortable, stylish and central hotel from which to enjoy the delights of London
Harrods

I think everything under one roof - place to go to especially if weather is poor - enjoy lavish desserts and lunch as a treat with a friend.
Haunch of Venison

This gallery is set back off the street in it's own alley way and always has some unique works on display. The gallery is more like a house where one spiral staircase gives way to another floor of works and once up, you go down to a 1/2 level where there are a few more select works on display. It is not very large mind you, and the work displayed is very select, but this gallerie's choosy style is a bonus for tired eyes, fatigued of seeing quantity over quality.
hilton hotel

very clean and good service . Good food. Shops nearby
Hilton London Tower Bridge

This is a modern hotel, built recently, with good views over London, especially from the terrace bar on the executive floor.

Provides the usual comprehensive "Hilton breakfast".
Holly Bush

The Holly Bush pub is an excellent rainy-weather place to eat – cozy, warm, and a bit dark. It is on a quiet, narrow road with just enough space for a couple of benches out front. Inside, the pub is a hodge-podge of six or seven rooms downstairs and a “dining room” upstairs

The upstairs dining room is altogether lighter and airier than the pub below. There is no frosting on the windows (of which there are several), and there were a few families with young children up there on the day that we were there. The food upstairs is the same food that you get in the bar rooms downstairs. It is one step up from basic pub food with a few concessions to vegetarians and other new-age tastes. My haddock with apple and cabbage (£6.50) was fine, and Andrea’s beer and chicken pie (£9.00) was delicious. Tina enjoyed her salmon and eggs (£5.50). We all had beers on tap (£2.50 per pint,) and there is a good range of these to choose from.
Hoxton Hotel

The Hoxton opened in 2006 and was created by an owner who disliked faceless hotels and knew there should be an alternative. The Hoxton Hotel describes itself as an 'urban lodge' which seems apt as it is hard to label. They also say 'budget luxury' but I think that might detract from just how cool this place is. Sure, it's well-priced and there are no hidden costs but it's also a hip, designer hotel with an industrial feel. The Hoxton is funky, great value, and very welcoming.
Hoxton Hotel

Real value for money offers and great quality and location.
Hunterian Museum

Fascinating collection not only of specimens, skeletons, surgical instruments and so on, but also some rather good paintings, recently reopened and well presented
