London Neighborhoods Up-Close

I love London’s neighborhoods. The contrasts – historic & modern, wet but warm & friendly. You’ll find reminders of past wars, yet such peaceful parks and gardens to enjoy. The street markets, the Shakespeare plays, and the multitude of famous buildings all hold on to the past while shaping our today and catapulting us into tomorrow’s grand adventure. Lambeth, Southbank, and the City of London Neighbourhoods are perfect places to affordably adventure together as a family. Come learn on location with me and find:

  • The best (not-in-the West-End) theatre,
  • Superb gardens and parks,
  • London’s best free museums.

They’re all located in these London neighborhoods.
