On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 3.The British Museum — The Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon marbles, and an attic of the world under one great glass roof — and it's free. Pick two rooms and don't attempt the rest.
- 11.Covent Garden — A cobbled piazza with street performers under the old market's glass roof, boutiques around the edges, and the Opera House next door. Touristy, pretty, and good for a wander.
- 15.A West End show — London does theatre better than anywhere — a musical or a play in a gilded old house off Shaftesbury Avenue. Grab a same-day discount at the TKTS booth in Leicester Square.
