Borough Market for food. Check out the Pie Minster vendor and get a nice meat pie topped with mashed potatoes. :) St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, British Museum, Buckingham Balance, London Eye. Get afternoon tea somewhere nice like Claridges. Leake Street Tunnel is a project started by Banksy with some cool graffiti art. Grab a fancy lunch or dinner at the Ledbury. Duck & Waffle in Heron Tower is open 24/7, go for drinks/food. Harry Potter studio tour. Day trip to Oxford or Cambridge. Grab some souvenirs for friends/family from Fortnum & Mason.

Oh and the Columbia road flower market and walk around shoreditch.

Go to a love little part of London called Walthamstow. If you're a foodie, check out the chicken shops on Kilburn High Road. If you're into edgy urban stuff take the tram to West Croydon

Atmosphere at dishoom is 👌🏽. Thought the food was just okay.

Tayyabs for Pakistani food

Oh I meant Fat Tire Bike Tours. New Europe is walking tours.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
