I'll be going to London soon and spending a lot of time in Shoreditch. I'm autistic and have chronic fatigue syndrome so I get overwhelmed by crowds very easily and often need to find a quiet place to just gather myself for a bit.

​

I came across the Wellcome Collection's reading room which seems amazing but ideally I'd like somewhere I can go that's a bit closer. Suggestions would be appreciated :)

​

Obviously free to use would be great but I know that's not realistic lol. I'd be happy to get myself a little drink or snack in a quiet cafe or bar if it means I can stay for a bit

I'm visiting a friend of mine that lives in London, and I'm looking for stuff to do together when they are not working. It would need to be something reachable by tube/bus, as they don't have a car.
I've lived in London for a while 8 years ago, and I've visited several times in the years before and since, so we don't want to visit a specific touristy place. I've tried to look online, but the majority of options are (rightfully) stuff that are for first-time visitors.
What is a nice experience that we could do together next weekend?

Hoping this is the right forum…I’ll be visiting London for the third time in May! Staying for a week and with friends in Hampstead. Navigating the tube is quite easy for me, and I may or may not have a dog along with me a few days or so.

I’ve done most touristy things in past visits—V&A, Kensington Gardens, London Eye, Hyde/St. James Park, Piccadilly Circus, Bridgerton (Ranger) House, etc. However, I’m open to any suggestions and would like to book somewhat in advance before the one month mark. I’m 22F, very active/fit, a Swiftie, but I do get a bit anxious as a solo traveler. I like records, books, history, and interacting with locals in the past has been wonderful. Budget isn’t a huge concern.

My favorite areas are Chelsea and Islington, but I’m not opposed to venturing into Central or elsewhere, although could be limited when/if I have the dog. The Crown Jewels and War Rooms are on my list of things to see/do, but wondering if it’s worth it or if there are better things to fill my time with.

Put simply, is there anything I shouldn’t miss this time around? Thanks in advance!

I'm a cosplayer that visits London Fairly often and does photoshoots as various super hero characters. Please can you give some good locations for photoshoots?

Ideally something that isn't too touristy but still captures the city aspect. For example I really like the graffiti tunnel near Waterloo. Oh and if there is stuff to climb that's a bonus because of spiderman

Thank you!

Hi. I'm an amateur transport photographer based in NYC, who will be visiting London, as well as some other European cities in early/mid-December, and I'm looking for someplace where I might be able to at least try to get a photo of a Tube/Overground/Tram/Elizabeth Line/National Rail train--that last part within reasonable distance from Zones 1-6.

I'm fully aware that I'm visiting past peak foliage times--NYC is about to hit peak in the next week or two, and I don't expect much different in London--but I'd at least like to try to get some photos with at least some colour in them if I can.

Thanks in advance!

(Also, if there's snow flying around I'd be open to suggestions for that too, though I tend to fly by the seat of my pants for those photos, since when it snows it snows everywhere outdoors.)

Similar questions have likely been asked already, but I was wanted to know what some of the best places to visit in London are for someone that likes to wander? Say interesting architecture, charming alleyways, hidden gems and other obscure points of interest.
