LEATHER LANE MARKET
Home to an eclectic array of stalls, selling everything from handbags to freshly squeezed juices.
SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE
One of the world’s best contemporary dance venues and its cutting edge original performances draw half a million people to its shows every year.
This is the epicentre of the capital’s contemporary dance scene: in 2005, more than 200 years after the theatre’s founding, the then artistic director Alistair Spalding decided to focus on this niche in order to differentiate itself from the likes of the Royal Opera and National Theatre. And he has succeeded. Sadler’s Wells has pioneered a creative, of-the-day programme that pushes boundaries and offers an artistry that can’t be found on any other stage.

EXMOUTH MARKET
Amazing fresh food for all tastes. Charming, especially at night. A great place to relax in the sun.
The pedestrianised avenue of Exmouth Market is an exemplary cluster of independent business, with a vibrant atmosphere throughout the week. On Friday and Saturday afternoons it turns into an international street food market, which has regularly catapulted some of its chefs from a humble stand to cosmopolitan stardom.
