There's more to London than Big Ben and iconic red buses. Experience the best of this electrifying city with this insider guide from our partners at The Langham on what to see, eat, and do.

London is full of world-class attractions and famous landmarks. And The Langham neighbourhood, right in the heart of the city, is the perfect base for your adventure. But if you find sightseeing dull, spice up your itinerary with these 10 unusual activities — located just 10 minutes away from The Langham London hotel.

ICONIC SIGHTS

Buckingham Palace

Since 1837, Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the British sovereigns. Today, this beloved landmark serves as the administrative headquarters for Queen Elizabeth II. "A trip to Buckingham Palace is only complete once you’ve watched the Changing of the Guard."​ - Kamel, The Langham London Concierge.

Hyde Park

If you tire of the city's hustle and bustle, escape to Hyde Park. This lush, magical sanctuary is London's most prominent park, perfect for strolls and jogs all year-round. But for a unique experience, head to the Speakers' Corner to share your views or debate with strangers on any topic. “Rent a little boat to paddle across the Serpentine, where you can swim and even fish in specified areas."​ - Daniel, The Langham London Concierge.

Regent Street

A prestigious shopping destination lined with international flagship stores. Even if you aren't into shopping, just strolling down the elegant Regent Street is an experience in itself. "While venturing down Regent Street, why not pop by Liberty London and discover luxury fabrics, designer clothing, and stylish homewares." - Sebastian, The Langham London Concierge.

Dining Experience

Sparrow Italia

Sparrow Italia epitomizes contemporary Italian dining, exuding European elegance. Nestled in London's esteemed Mayfair district, Sparrow exerts a refined ambiance, paying homage to the cherished traditions of Italian gastronomy enthusiasts across generations.

Corrigan's

Corrigan’s Mayfair is renowned for its opulent ambiance and exceptional modern British cuisine crafted by acclaimed Michelin-star chef Richard Corrigan. With a commitment to sourcing the finest seasonal ingredients, its menu showcases the best produce from across the British Isles.

Ikoyi

Ikoyi is London's first African-inspired restaurant to win a Michelin star. Modern and bold, it offers a unique take on West African cuisine — using fresh ingredients from peppercorns and spices, to line-caught fish.

Cultural Adventures

Tower of London

Complete your London trip with a visit to the Tower of London. Not only does the fortress protect the breathtaking Crown Jewels, but it also has a rich and complex history. Would you believe the Tower once served as a prison, and a zoo?

National Gallery

With works by Van Gogh, da Vinci and Michelangelo, the National Gallery is an absolute must-go. The museum is just a short stroll from The Langham, London — giving you more time to behold artistic greatness.

Tate Modern

Sitting by the River Thames, the Tate is an art gallery that houses the UK's national collection of British, international and contemporary works. And with new exhibitions every month, every visit will be as exciting as the first.

Retail Therapy

Oxford Street

Oxford Street is the ultimate shopper’s paradise. It offers over 2.4km (or 1.5 miles) of fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, peppered with over 500 eateries. Occasionally, Oxford Street hosts pop-up festivals and events — adding to its lively vibe. "If you're looking for an outfit for an event, rent from the wonderful HURR, situated in Selfridges." - Daniel, The Langham London Concierge.

Bond Street

Bond Street is one of London's most iconic streets. Hailed as a luxury hotspot, you'll find a wealth of high-end brands, designer fashion, and fine-dining restaurants. "If you're visiting in Autumn, look out for Bond Street’s collaboration with the Royal Academy of Art. Famous artists will transform the street with large-scale sculptures." - Marcin, The Langham London Concierge.

Marylebone Village

Marylebone Village may not be as renowned as Oxford Street, but it certainly deserves a visit. This chic shopping destination is full of independent boutiques, unique bars and restaurants, and stunning period architecture.
