I live in the country, in Boxhill in Surrey.  And I wouldn’t change it for the world.  But I was born in London and explored it as a boy with my father.  Here are a few of the places I like to visit.

The British Museum
The Victoria & Albert Museum – there are so many good exhibitions there
The Royal Albert Hall – Particularly during the BBC Promenade Concert season
Lords Cricket Ground – nothing can beat a test match on a summer’s day
The Thames - opposite St Paul’s Cathedral by Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
Kew Gardens – the glasshouses are amazing.
Putney Bridge and the river by the boathouses.
The National Portrait Gallery – faces are my business
Hyde Park – there’s always something happening
The Chelsea Flower Show – I always end up buying something exotic!
The Royal Opera House – any opera, although Verdi and Wagner are my favourites
London Silver Vaults – there are still treasures to be found
Camden Market – you can buy some very exotic things here, including food from all over the world
Kempton Park Racecourse – well it’s nearly London.
Wigmore Hall – marvellous music, almost everyday of the year.

“It was a big room, about the size of the British Museum, with a blazing log fire
at either end.”
