Annie's a warm, welcoming place serving serious comfort food. Settle down overlooking the pretty garden and tuck into pan-fried shrimps with chilli, garlic and lemon, followed by spiced lamb skewers with cilantro rice and raita. Finish with the fabulous crème brûlée. |

Bayee House Bayee House restaurant is a light, modern space with blond wood tables and chairs, well-lit artifacts tucked into decorative niches, with artfully-arranged flowers softening the effect. The authentic regional cooking brings the best of classic Peking cuisine and fiery Szechuan cooking to the table, with a particular focus on fish. Lobster is the house specialty, but everything that swims seems to show up on the menu, including English oysters. |

The Tower of London - 1 Viewing Founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7 and enlarged and modified by successive sovereigns, today the Tower of London is one of the world's most famous and spectacular fortresses. In its time it has been a royal palace, a fortress, a prison, an armoury, a treasury and an astronomical observatory. As a result there is a lot to see, the major draws are the Crown Jewels and the history associated with the Tower's role as a prison for major figures in history, prior to many a public hanging. |

The Imperial War Museum The subject matter is such that most people are either interested or turned off. If the thought of a visit to a museum of warfare and the military half appeals then this museum is world class. It doesn't glorify war, and certainly covers all aspects including the human and civilian side of warfare. You will probably need all day to do the museum justice. The displays are imaginatively presented, mostly presented in a factual non patriotic manner, tackling difficult subjects like the holocaust. The terms of reference of the museum cover both world wars and all military operations in which Britain or the Commonwealth have been involved since August 1914. |

The London Dungeon The London Dungeon has lasted several decades while other similar "manufactured" attractions have come and gone. The attraction consists of a series of set scenes reproducing chilling aspects of medieval London in a more grisly format than at Madame Tussaud's. Expect lots of darkness, dripping water, skeletons, caged rates, tolling bells etc. to add to the atmosphere. The venue itself is housed beneath London Bridge railway station, the faint rumbling of the trains also add to the experience. Naturally there are scenes of torture in all its variations, burning and depiction's of London characters like Jack the Ripper and events like the London fire. All are brought to life with special effects very well done, originally conceived for film and TV. Actors add life to the displays and among other things may sentence you personally to death. The attraction is not a museum, it is an entertainment. Actors and staff escort you from one scene to another and are very funny and entertaining. There is also a couple of rides. It is very dark in the Dungeon, so people who have bad sight may struggle. It also smells rancid - we should point out that it is supposed to smell! |

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre The Globe Theatre is a unique site dedicated to the exploration of Shakespeare's work. The venue is famous mostly for the playhouse, recreated as an authentic replica of the original in Shakespearean London. Performances are played out as a serious attempt to recreate authentic Shakespearean works, there is no compromise for the tastes of the tourist masses. The plays can last two to three hours and the cheaper admissions are strictly standing only!. The theatre is open air and is not heated or subject to air conditioning. If it rains the performance will normally carry on, the standing audience are not sheltered. You are not allowed to take photographs of performances. |
