Has in recent years been discovered by tourists/joggers across the city so it's honestly too High-Line-style busy on weekends, but other days quite nice with a few cafes along the way as well as intersections with Camden Lock Market, Kings Cross, Broadway Market, Victoria Park etc.

(london born and raised!) i don't live there anymore as found it too tiring of a city, but i lovedddd going for walks along the canal path. depending how long of a walk you fancy, you can start from anywhere really – but my fave spots are by haggerston station and victoria park, where you can head away from the canal to either explore the park or general bethnal green area :)

Plenty of local restaurants, cafés, shops along Regent’s Canal. Stroll along the canal to see houseboats ⛵️

not underground in any way, but i'd def recommend camden town for food/ afternoon walks/ lil stalls and souvenir shops! it's probably my favourite place in ldn. good vintage/ second hand shopping i've always heard of portobello road market & notting hill in general and although quite pricey, i've been meaning to go see for myself too :)

Finally saw this for the first time (on 35mm thxx Prince Charles Cinema) and wow. Jonathan Glazer and co-writer Jean-Claude Carrière spending all of pre-production re-writing the script without informing the studio… DP Harris Savides pushing the boundaries of underexposed film and getting the craziest deepest browns and purples out of Kodak stock… Alexandre Desplat starting with what seems like a very polite classical score and then gradually bringing in heavy synth bass… and of course Nicole Kidman throwing herself headlong into an insane role (and apparently bullying the producers for more $$$ when they finished under budget)

The less you read about it (or look at maps) the better. Just enter via Haight Street, turn your phone off and wander 'til you reach the ocean. If you go on a Sunday afternoon and you didn't already come across it, proceed to turn your phone back on and track back to the 6th Avenue Skate Park to check out the roller disco party 🛼🔊😎

Because of the extensive tradition of pirate radio in the UK (from Radio Caroline on down), London probably has the most insane landscape of 24/7 internet radio in the world. I've tried to rank these in terms of approximate popularity ranging from NTS (as mentioned) on down to purely DIY weekend-only amateur collectives like LWSTD. If you don't know the stations in your city, just have a quick google and do some Instagram "Following" list exploration and it should be pretty easy to find more (e.g. in Amsterdam check out Echobox, Radio Tempo Não Pára, RRFM, etc...)
