LONDRA MODA & DESIGN
Zone conosciute per uno shopping di tendenza nella capitale sono Myfair, South Kensington e Chelsea, ma è bene aggiungere anche la rinascita di Hackney, con i suoi numerosi atelier di giovani designer e negozi alla moda.
Suggerimento: Se ami la moda ed il design e ti piace fare shopping, o anche solo scuriosare, tra le boutique e le gallerie del centro, il ‘Dover Street Market’ di Myfair (non per tutte le tasche!) vale certo una visita.

LONDRA ARTE
Tutti sappiamo che la maggior parte dei musei di Londra sono gratis, le piccole gallerie si stanno moltiplicando un po’ in tutte le zone della città e gli architetti ci offrono un museo a cielo aperto, quindi le occasioni per farsi una scorpacciata di buona arte senza spendere un centesimo non mancano davvero.
Suggerimento: Per gli amanti della fotografia il mese di ottobre è un vero paradiso, con scatti di centinaia di fotografi esposti in vari luoghi dell’East End in occasione del Photomonth.

LONDON FASHION & DESIGN
Areas known for a trendy shopping in the Capital are Myfair, South Kensigton and Chelsea, but we should also add the rebirth of Hackney, with its many ateliers of young designers and fashion shops.
Tip: If you like fashion and design and you enjoy going shopping in the center or just watching boutiques and galleries, the ‘Dover Street Market’ in Mayfair (not affordable for everyone!) is worth a visit.

LONDON ART
We all know that most of the museums in London are free, small galleries are opening in every corner and architects offer us an open air museum, so, there are loads of occasions for stuffing oneself with good art.
Tip: For all photography lovers October is a heaven, with pictures from hundreds photographers exhibited in many East London venues in occasion of the Photomonth.

But we also respect that some people just DON’T want to stay with a family. (Maybe we are biased being British!)
