However, visitors looking to peek behind the scenes of the glossy tourist attractions and experience &#8220;real&#8221; London will soon be stumped without a local guide to help them. This is why we have assembled the ultimate London inside tips just for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hip Brixton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoided in the 80s and 90s as the hangout of gangs, Brixton has undergone a strong revival in recent years. The new hipster atmosphere is most evident in the partially roofed-over container village <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popbrixton.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Popbrixton<\/strong><\/a>. Here there are stands selling foods from all around the world, wine, cocktail and coffee bars as well as fashion and accessories from (so far) unknown labels. Right next door is Brixton Village, a large food market with countless eateries and numerous Caribbean specialities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Beer from Camden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beer fans should drop in here at least once: In the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/camdentownbrewery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Camden Town Brewery<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0there is a range of different beers brewed on-site (such as Hells Lager and Pale Ale), which are already so well established they are also sold in a number of liquor stores. With its light-coloured wood, the bar makes a pleasant change from murky pubs and the roaring heaters and blankets mean that you can also sit out doors in winter. By the way, the free parmesan popcorn is also excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/CamdenBrewery.jpg\" alt=\"Person in a black shirt behind a wooden tray with five glasses of beer at Camden Town Brewery\" class=\"wp-image-6275 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/CamdenBrewery.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/CamdenBrewery-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/CamdenBrewery-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/CamdenBrewery-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Camden Town Brewery London<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Brick Lane: Graffiti and curry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brick Lane Market is well known, but visitors casting their gaze away from the numerous stalls and snack stands into the small, nearly empty side streets will find numerous artistic graffiti murals on the sides of the buildings. If you feel hungry after viewing the masterpieces just take a few steps further down Brick Lane \u2013 the countless Indian and Pakistani restaurants make this the unofficial curry main street of London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Enjoy a cup of tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The English are fond of their tea \u2013 so the ideal souvenir of London is also connected to the hot beverage. In the two-storey <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theteahouseltd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tea House<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Covent Garden there is an enormous selection of different teas; all from the firm\u2019s own brand and blend. In addition to seasonal tea blends there are also unusual teapots, colourful tea cosies and tea strainers in all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Prince Charles cinema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The coolest cinema in London is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/princecharlescinema.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Prince Charles Cinema<\/a><\/strong>; the cinema screens numerous classics, new and old independent films and also current blockbusters. In addition to themed evenings such as &#8220;Avengers Marathon&#8221; there are also sing-alongs to Disney films (adults only) and pyjama party film evenings. A further highlight: Directors often come along for Q&amp;A sessions and the ticket prices are more than affordable for London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Primrose Hill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A wonderful view across Regents Park and London can be had from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalparks.org.uk\/visit\/parks\/regents-park-primrose-hill\/primrose-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Primrose Hill<\/a><\/strong>. Couples and families regularly admire the sunset from the hill. Tip: If you walk to Primrose Hill from Chalk Farm tube station you pass plush Regents Park Road, with its smart caf\u00e9s and expensive boutiques. And Kate Moss lives in one of the side streets there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PrimroseHill.jpg\" alt=\"City view of London skyline with people relaxing in a grassy park on a sunny day\" class=\"wp-image-6279 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PrimroseHill.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PrimroseHill-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PrimroseHill-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PrimroseHill-600x450.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/600;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View from Primrose Hill in London<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Spiritual Caipirinha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Legend has it that the best caipirinha in town is to be found in the tiny Spiritual Caipirinha Bar\u00a0in Camden. In the basement there is often live music and countless guests have left personal messages on the walls of the upper floor. Part of the bar&#8217;s flair comes courtesy of the owner, who is almost always present and remembers every guest. If you don\u2019t like caipirinha, go for the equally good mojito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Go for a stroll in Richmond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those wishing to escape the bustle of the city for a (sunny) afternoon should travel to Richmond, go to Richmond Bridge and hire a rowing boat there for a few hours. On the right hand side around two kilometres south of Richmond Bridge is the old pub <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteswantwickenham.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The White Swan<\/a><\/strong>, which features a wonderful terrace with views of the river and a charming dining area serving hearty pub food &#8211; the perfect place for a well-earned rest. Rowing back, keep an eye out for stately Marble Hill House (left bank) and Ham House with its perfectly-tended gardens (right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Queen of Hoxton roof terrace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Above the rooftops of Shoreditch the party is in full swing in the wigwam on the roof terrace of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/queenofhoxton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Queen of Hoxton<\/a><\/strong>. On the ground floor is a club in which DJs often play, whilst above mulled wine, grog and eggnog are served throughout the winter. In addition, there are also various different events such as &#8220;Gingerbread house decorating&#8221; and &#8220;Day of the Dead storytelling&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Touring the city in its own trademark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors looking to gain an overview of London\u2019s overwhelming big-city tumult or simply hide from the rain should head for the top deck of the number 25 bus. The journey passes numerous London sights \u2013 from Piccadilly Circus through Oxford Street and on to St. Pauls Cathedral \u2013 and is slow enough to allow you enough time to look up the individual attractions in your travel guide. Tip: The best place to get on is at Bank or Paddington Station, as the bus is usually still empty enough to enable you to bag your seat right at the front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 10 things to do in London: a local&#8217;s guide!
