Alternative London Highlights

A list of the most interesting or unusual to contrast with the earlier list:

Restaurant: Mosob in Notting Hill. An Eritraean restaurant where everything is eaten from a springy flatbread used as cutlery too.

Museum: Sutton House in Hackney. A lovely building in a beautiful historic area in an Untouristy area of London.

Tour: a psychogeography walk in Kensington Gardens, including sensory activities, barefoot walking and poetry reading.

Religious site: The Buddhist Stupa in Battersea Park. Giant golden buddhas by the river.

Journey: a nontourist journey to Piccadilly Circus on the 94 bus. A great way to see the city.

Bar: Little Nan's in Deptford, a parlour style bar full of weird nicknacks with cocktails served from teapots.

Historic site: The abandoned tube station of The Strand.

Famous person spotted: Helena Bonham Carter in Hampstead.

Shopping: the occult bookshops of London, list available online. Some cheery with crystals and comfy sofas, some creepy with paintings of Alastair Crowley and weird noises from the basement.
