Katherine's London Recommendations

Katherine M.: An ambitious Brutalist experiment spanning several city blocks. Includes several apartment towers, a small university, a performing arts center, office space, a plant-filled conservatory. Fascinating.

Katherine M.: Check the calendar to see if there'll be a show when you visit!

Katherine M.: My friend Amy says, "You might be able to observe a House of Commons debate in session. If you've ever seen it on CSPAN, the way they debate in England is highly entertaining."

Katherine M.: Get the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" queued up while you're on wifi and then walk across the south side of the bridge (side closer to Westminster, Big Ben, the London Eye) at sunset. Perfect.

Katherine M.: Small, high-quality experimental productions. I saw a production of Henry IV with an all-female cast set in a women's prison. Andrew says, "I would club someone over the head to get tickets."

Katherine M.: One of my 2 favorite department stores in London. Feels like shopping in an large, old, fancy house.

Katherine M.: The other of my 2 favorite department stores in London. Go to the floor with the textiles and floral prints.

Katherine M.: I can't stop thinking about the English Breakfast I had here. So good.

Katherine M.: Delicious chai and British Indian food. Insist on sitting on the veranda. It's lovely.

Katherine M.: Take a walk through these meadows and have scones with jam and clotted cream at the Orchard Tea Garden. Impossibly picturesque.

Katherine M.: My favorite architecture of the colleges at Cambridge.

Katherine M.: Also breathtaking architecture.
