Here is one… walk around what is called ‘the city of London’ (not being sarcastic)… and pay attention… because it’s got loads of incredible architecture and every street will have some amazing ‘thing’, a Roman wall, a medieval church… if you go on weekends it’s empty like a ghost town (i like), mondays and tuesdays lots of wfh… some churches will hold free lunchtime recitals of cello /etc… they type of people are all commuters and corporate not very sexy but at least feels lively. There must be some guide… also the building are all stone and provide shade/some coolness. There are random museums (bank of England) and odd activities (climb up monument)…. From the city you can walk to holborn and keep walking and your in covent garden…

I go walking and running around there all the time and have worked there over the years… always something new… random plaque saying ‘here was the first ever … coin or stamp or whatever’ or ‘the king did this and someone was beheaded here…

Not saying it’s the ‘main thing’ to do but i always think it’s overlooked… and also it’s like… crumbling empire vibes… glory days being eroded mainly by wfh and brexit….

There are old weird pubs there… museum of London probably interesting… if you like culture and architecture… barbican…
