This restaurant serves simple, yet heavenly Taiwanese dishes. You have to try the peanut milk and the Bao, which are light steamed buns with meat fillings. But be prepared for a long queue, because this place is very very popular!

My favourite place in all of London, the Royal Opera House stages world class performances. Although top seats are pricey, you can get cheap tickets from £5 if you're happy to be further back.

A cute bakery with an even cuter afternoon tea! Different from the traditional sandwiches and cakes that you would expect...

Just off Carnaby Street, this shop is like a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for grown up's! All of the chocolates are hand made by the team and don't just look good, they taste amazing too...

'Bond in Motion' exhibition - see the actual cars and gadgets of 007 made famous by the movies!

A stylish spot for afternoon tea, but be sure to check out the toilets that are shaped like eggs!

Why not explore the nearby areas of Soho, Covent Garden, Mayfair, Holborn, Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia, Victoria, Westminster, Marylebone and Southwark

"Covent Garden is actually spelt incorrectly - It was meant to be named Convent Garden after the convent garden built on the site from the 1200s."

Walk or take a bus ride along the Strand to soak in London's vibe...
