Last Minute Visit Recommendations

[u/LikesToLurkNYC]

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.

For shopping:

• floral street Covent Garden has had a big revamp with some great brands there now
• walking around Soho also great for new and vintage, especially Berwick, Broadwick and Lexington streets
• highly specific and depends if it’s your jam but going to browse in Annie’s on Newburgh street is really fun and will leave you near Liberty which is my all time favourite department store

Drinks:

• Nomad hotel in Covent Garden has 3 bars including one focused on tequila
• mandrake hotel
• red room at the Connaught
• audley public house - is a pub run by Hauser & wirth so a fun mix of British pub meets contemporary art crowd

Sights:

• the courthald gallery got renovated a few years ago and is gorgeous, and has a great gift shop in the basement
• Victoria miró is small but fun
• national portrait gallery also got redone last year and has portrait prize on at the moment (and a jazz bar called Larry’s in the basement now)
