The best thing about the Saatchi gallery is that it offers the most up-to-date work from the art world. All of this is offered to visitors for free, as well. It’s accessible to anyone and that is what makes it one of the top five secrets of London. It isn’t a snobby art museum but a refreshing take on the new ideas spiralling from London. Visitors are invited to join the Saatchi members club, which is also free of charge, informing people of exhibition previews and regularly offering discounts for the nearby restaurant. It is also a good idea to pick up the free Saatchi ‘Art & Music’ magazine. To get to the Saatchi gallery you should take the tube to Sloane Square and then walk in a straight line until you see the Saatchi gallery on the left side of the road.
The Electric Ballroom is located in Camden high street. Many events take place there but it is mostly noted for its live music acts. In the past there have been such acts as Patrick Wolf and Crystal Castles. As well as this, shoppers will like that there are regular clothes fairs, which offer unique vintage fashion at reasonable prices. The venue is generally very small so it’s ideal if you wish to be up close to performers. In the back there is a bar if you wish to purchase drinks, but these tend to be on the expensive side. To get to the Electric Ballroom you should take the tube to Camden Town, turn right out of the station and walk straight ahead until you see it on your right.
Though Tower Bridge is an obvious attraction of London, most people underestimate the view it provides and how it is worth just crossing the bridge to look over the city at its best. In view is Big Ben, Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, St. Paul’s Cathedral and many other recognisable places from the very middle of the river. Both night and day the bridge provides these stunning views of London. There are often entertainers or buskers surrounding the bridge. To get to the Tower Bridge, take the tube to Tower Hill station.
The Café in the Crypt is located in Trafalgar Square and requires customers to walk underground to get to the restaurant. It’s very well hidden from this heavily populated area of London. The food isn’t particularly brilliant but it is the place itself that makes it worthwhile. It’s a part of London that isn’t mentioned in tourist attraction leaflets because it is generally quite unknown unless you’re well connected with St Martin’s Church. To get to the Café in the Crypt you need to go to Trafalgar Square and find the church adjacent to the National Portrait Gallery.
