Please note that LondonUnveiled.com is sortable by borough and by type of attraction / site.  This functionality is found on home screen.  All the articles are about places in Greater London that offer so much more than the typical tourist sites.  I hope this list stimulates some new journeys and discoveries.  Just click on the links!

- Duke’s Bar - where Ian Fleming created Bond’s martini.

- Regent Sound Studio & Denmark Street - London’s Tin Pan Alley and birthplace of modern music.

- Shepherd Market - a hidden “village” in London.

- Ace Cafe - if you are a petrolhead.

- Three Mills Island - a most unique location in East London.

    Thanks ~ you just added nine more things to my “must see” before leaving London ;) Actually, I’ve been wanting to go to the Banqueting Hall for awhile now so I’ll do that then walk through Shepherd Bush. Two birds and all…

      I assume you mean Shepherd Market… not Shepherd’s Bush… don’t go to the latter by mistake… just a big Westfield shopping centre there!

        Opps…I did mean market. Too many trips on the central line has Shepherds Bush in my head. ;)

    I lived in London for 15 years, but knew only five of these. Your blog would have been a wonderful resource at the time!
