The Wallace Collection is beautiful, the artwork and the house. The Enchanted Palace is like walking through a fairy tale.<br /><br />On your way to or from The Wallace Collection, you can look through Selfridges on Oxford Street.<br /><br />Brick Lane Market is a good place to have curry in a tin for lunch and walk around on a Saturday. <br /><br />The British Museum is an obvious place to say but... just a reminder that it is great.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614259897749459674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-52929051213002088162010-05-24T23:49:43.783-04:002010-05-24T23:49:43.783-04:00Ok, I did not read the other 79 comments so I hope...Ok, I did not read the other 79 comments so I hope this hasn't been mentioned.<br /><br />Go to Kensington Palace and see the new multi media exhibit called An Enchanted Palace.

They has a collection of Sèvres porcelain.In fact, this is why I think you may like this museum.<br />Here follows some information I have found on internet (http://www.wallacecollection.org/thecollection):<br />"The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays the wonderful works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897".<br /><br />It is located ate Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN.<br /><br />I think it is near to the BOND STREET Station. But if go there, please check it before - there is a long time I've have been at Wallace Collection.<br /><br />Somtimes I come to see you blog. But I'm too shy to comment. This is the first time. <br /><br />I hope you apreciate the hint.<br /><br />I'm Liniane, from São Paulo, Brasil.

Almost indescribable, but amazing!<br /><br />Go to the Columbia Road Flower Market (Sundays).<br /><br />Go to Borough Market (weekends) - an amazing food market.<br /><br />Go on some London Walks - Apparitions, Alleyways and Ales is my favourite! The Bloomsbury one is good too, and some of the pub walks.<br /> www.walks.com<br /><br />Wander the shops of Marylebone, and Brompton Cross in Kensington, and the Carnaby Street area leading down towards Mayfair, and Bond Street/Brook Street.<br /><br />Wander the lanes of Knightsbridge with their whitewashed and candy-coloured mews houses - you'll almost think you're in Cornwall.<br /><br />Visit Highgate Cemetary.<br /><br />Avoid Horrible Harrod's like the plague!Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083488443465259972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-33036902758035722192010-05-22T21:02:37.443-04:002010-05-22T21:02:37.443-04:00I have been about 6 times and still not through se...I have been about 6 times and still not through seeing everything.<br />I even loved Pollucks Toy Museum in a 3 story, creaky old house. <br />And Charles Dicken's home was interesting. <br />The Windsor/Spencer home was lovely where Diana was raised and buried. Nice museum there too. The War headquarters was interesting just to see it. <br />I had 5 teas all over the place including Kensington. <br />Enjoyed Buckingham Palace tour.
