It's the best Indian restaurant in London; it will have a long queue in front, but don't be scared. It's honestly well worth the wait! I highly recommend their house black daal and cheese nan. Both are unfathomably good. It should be around £25 per person if you don't drink alcohol

Pizza Pilgrims is my go-to Pizza place I the area. It's a little bit on the expensive side at around £10 for a pizza, but they have perfected the Naples-style sourdough!

Fatt Pundit is a really nice Tapas-style Indo-Chinese restaurant. Their crackling spinach dish is out of this world. Dinner should be around £30 per person

Hawksmoor is one of the best steakhouses in London, they are very expensive for dinner service, and you can expect to spend up to £100 per person. However, they have really well-priced lunch menus for around £25 and Sunday roasts for £20 that are of the same quality. They have a few locations around London; read through the website for the exact timings.

Arome bakery is unbelievable, they develop a fusion of French & Asian pastries, and they are also quite affordable at around £4-5 per item. My personal favourite is their chocolate almond croissant which is very filling.

Omotesando does the best speciality coffee in London; their location is a little bit small, so it's not the best place if you're looking for a longer sit-down experience, but their coffee more than makes up for it!

Really Cute cafe in Fitzrovia. Charlotte Place is one of my favourite streets in London they are famous for the next-level Corn Fritters! It should be around £20 for brunch. I recommend to book/call ahead as they get very busy

Eat Tokyo is a great local Japanese restaurant if you are on a budget! You usually cannot book, so you will have to queue, but in around 30 minutes, you can typically get a table. I highly recommend the Teriyaki Salmon Bento Box for £10

Entertainment
The Top Secret Comedy Club is one of my favourite places in London. It's located in Covent Garden, it should take more than 15 minutes to walk. They have very cheap (£1) shows during week days when they try out new materials. I would highly recommend booking ahead of time and showing up on time, as seats can quickly run out. The energy in the room is really uplifting, and they have very well-priced drinks. Pints are usually less than £5, and you can order large jugs for a group.

Ronnie Scotts is one of the best Jazz bars in the world. Their main shows are expensive, but they have world-leading talent coming to play every day of the week. They are quite a small venue with a very intimate feel; their cocktails are also out of this world. If you are on a budget, I highly recommend the late show, which starts at 11 PM and features younger up-and-coming artists. It cost usually about £12 for a ticket

Tate Modern is my favourite Museum in London, and it's free! I like walking to it along the Thames river on the Southside. You can also grab lunch at Borough Market next door when you are there!

I recommend the National Gallery if you enjoy portrait paintings. They have a magnificent mid-13th century to 1900 collection. It's also next to Trafalgar Square

The luxury of the area is just on a different level. It's entertaining to see Picasso paintings and £150,000 Whiskies on sale. Some things are also surprisingly affordable, it's definitely worth a visit

Camden Market has a special Energy and is very alternative. It's quite a contrast to the mansions next door in Regents park. I would recommend taking a long walk from the flat through Fitzrovia/Marlybone, through Regents Park and getting lunch in Camden Market

If you are ever in London on a Sunday, you must go to Columbia Road Flower market, especially on a sunny day. It's in the centre of east London and gives a taste of the more alternative side of London.

Brick Lane market is where east London starts, and it is very alternative full of people looking to buy second-hand vintage clothing and art produced by local artists. It's a powerful contrast to the towers you can see in the city of London next door!

Notting Hill is a charming neighbourhood with a lot of energy. There are fantastic options to purchase vintage clothing items and great food. I would recommend going in the morning on days when the market is open.
