    https://www.mapway.com/apps/tube-map-london-underground/
  3. Take the Hop On / Off multi -language audio tour buses serving landmark sites.
    You have FULL access to three routes with both operators. I recommend the RED ROUTE (150 minutes) to see the landmarks, but the GREEN & BLUE routes will be free to you and incorporate Museums.

Food & Drink

  1. Have a pint of Guinness and “Split the G” at the famous Devonshire Pub. The upstairs dining room is excellent, but reservations can be hard to get.
    https://www.devonshiresoho.co.uk/
  2. Curry is the UK’s favourite dish! I am a firm fan of Dishoom. You have to queue up (no reservations in the evenings) but I think it its worth the wait. The closest one to the Clermont is Kensington or Covent Garden. I can highly recommend the Vegetable or Lamb samosas, Chili Cheese Toast, Chicken Ruby, Chicken Biryani, Charred Lamb Chops, Sheekh Kabab, Black Daal, Gunpowder Potatoes, The Naan and Roti. If you need it cool order a Raita (yoghurt). Try the Kulfi’s or Chai for dessert.

  3. Fish & Chips

  5. Sip some craft beers
