This shop sells furniture, but appears to permanently have a sale of some kind. We've picked up a £70 mirror reduced from £550 here...Definitely work a squiz if you're looking for some new pieces.

Drinks & Nightlife

Check out their website before your trip to see who's on. If you're into your jazz you'll love it. If you're not, you'll still love it.

This place is dark. No windows. And a full buffet with every dish you could wish for. And great music and decor. It's a strange and wonderful place. Don't get lost in there.

Not only is this a museum, but there is an open courtyard with an enormous paddling pool. Seriously, if it's hot and you can't take the heat - head here for a quick dip. Ranked number 3 of things to do in London on TripAdvisor.

They've spent a lot of time doing up the facilities in this park so not only does it have beautiful landscaped gardens and waterfalls in central London, it now has all the family basics sorted like decent baby changing, food stops and outdoor activities like tennis courts, Go Ape, Mini Golf. For those without kids, it's a really vibrant park to check out and you can also walk or run along the river if you're feeling healthy.

They do a special screening of the latest movies for under 1s called the Electric Scream! They have a coffee area, subtitles and baby changing. Awesome. Check the website for details. The rest of the time they show movies as normal in their enormous leather armchairs.
