5 Free Thingsto Do in London, from Art to Parks LIFESTYLE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2013 Travel38 5 free things to do in London, from art to parks here’s no getting around it: The basics of life are pricey in London. Hotel rooms, taxis, restaurant meals and subway fares Tare among the most expensive in the world. The good news is that Britain’s teeming capital is also a city of cultural riches, historic buildings and gorgeous parks, many of which can be experienced for free. It’s also a magnificent city in which to wander — and really it doesn’t rain as much as people think. A walk through almost any area of central London will uncover eclectic architecture, intriguing monuments and surprising pockets of greenery. Myriad museums Many visitors are surprised to learn that admission to London’s major museums and art galleries is free. There is often a charge for special exhibitions, but the permanent collections of Tate Modern, the National Gallery and many other institutions can be visited for nothing. And London has museums for all tastes and interests. No visitor should miss the 260-year-old British Museum, with its collection covering millennia of human culture, from Egyptian mummies to Greek friezes to drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. Among the smaller, quirkier attractions are the Hunterian Mu- seum, whose skeletons and specimens trace the history of surgery and anatomical study. Or drop by the Bank of England Museum to learn how inflation is calculated, handle a gold bar and look at a collection of banker-bashing cartoons stretching back several centuries. Instead, visit Abney Park Cemetery in the scruffily fashionable People visit the British Mu- Hampstead heath Stoke Newington area.

Then spend some time wandering the Heath, 790 acres (320 hectares) of woods, grasslands and ponds that feels very far from the hubbub of the city. The neighborhoods on either side, Hamp- stead and Highgate, are both affluent, village-y enclaves full of highly desirable old houses and some good pubs. For a drink, try Hampstead’s cozy Holly Bush or the 400-year-old Spaniards Inn — once the haunt of highwaymen, now treasured for its large beer garden. Auction houses You probably can’t afford to buy an Old Master or modern masterpiece from Christie’s or Sotheby’s, but the auction houses are still a thrifty art-lover’s dream. Both regularly hold public exhibitions ahead of sales at their central London premises. The walls of the calm, airy rooms will be packed with art; there might be Rem- brandts or Picassos, Francis Bacons or Damien Hirsts, all being given the once-over by prospective purchasers. Watching the buyers can be as much fun as looking at the art. East end File photo shows a jogger runs underneath trees bearing autumnal colors as they A Cyclist rides through Abney Park in London.

  • Synopsis of Exploring London Walks
    SPELTHORNE U3AK2 “EXPLORING LONDON” WALK SYNOPSIS WALK 1 – PORTOBELLO MARKET, NOTTING HILL DISTANCE: 4 miles (with possible add on for a detour through Kensington Gardens) GETTING THERE AND BACK START: Ladbroke Grove on the Hammersmith and City Line Via Waterloo to Baker Street change to Hammersmith and City to Ladbroke Grove Or District Line from Richmond to Hammersmith and then Hammersmith and City Line to Ladbroke Grove FINISH: Notting Hill Gate or Queensway (Circle Line) to Bond Street – change to Jubilee to Waterloo ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS The major problem on this walk is a dearth of Public Toilets, and no clear stopping place for Lunch. There is certainly no shortage of places to have Coffee or snacks, so you will have to make sure that you select a cafe that has Toilets available. The walk starts from Ladbroke Grove Station, and goes the short distance to Portobello Green where you can hopefully find Coffee+Toilet facilities. Portobello Market spreads for about 1 km going from the cheaper end to the more salubrious antique market at the top of the road. It is likely to be very crowded, and it will be much easier to have free time to wander along at your own pace, and meet at place, time suggested by the leader. Continuing to the “peak” of Notting Hill we reach the church of St. John’s which has toilets and a café (sadly only open mid week). After a downhill stretch the route continues and crosses over Holland Park Avenue before a short uphill climb to reach Campden Hill, a very select and salubrious part of Kensington where there is a reasonable pub.

Nor does the author offer any apology for adding yet another volume to the long list of books, already existing, which deal in some way or other with England's classic book of humour, because it isn't so much his fault as might appear on the surface. A year or two ago he contributed to an American paper a series of twenty articles on some of the prominent inns mentioned in the works of Dickens, and before the series was completed he received many overtures to publish them in volume form.

It covers the span of these serial publications from May 1970 to end of 2020. What is included? This index is intended to help those researching aspects of Camden’s local history.
