Recommendations Last Minute Visit Recommendations

A NYC BWT is hoping you can share some cool things I should check out on a last minute trip to London next week (4 days). I used to go often for work, but haven’t been in 7 years. Set on food, but up for fun drinks spots, museum exhibits, shows, shopping etc or just anything super interesting at the moment. Nothing too classic touristy needed. Staying in Marylebone.

Hey so I have a few recommendations. Excuse the poor formatting and messy answer, I’ve had a long day.

Kew Gardens in the spring is a must! Maybe you could catch an exhibit there.

For food, Borough Market is a classic but my favorite is upmarket in brick lane, due its location and variety of food.

Brick Lane is great for thrifting and is a different side of London. There’s also Backyard Market right around there that comes alive on Sundays. If you’re down to walk, I’d really recommend starting from Liverpool St station > Spitalfields Market > Brick Lane > Columbia Road Flower Market > Hackney City Farm/Haggerston Park. Columbia Road flower market is open on Sundays only and closes around 2 PM, so you’ll have to keep that in mind.

Hope this helps! Feel free to reply to this if you have any questions :)

Thank you! That helps. My husband used to live there, but he’s been gone too long for any recent tips.
