The best coffee in town. This one is the original and it’s namesake, located in a tiny old watch house which was once used to guard St Mary Magdalen Church graveyard. If you’re hungry, try the much bigger branch on Shad Thames (listed above).

Swim in the 50m Olympic pool. Best Pool in London if you want to get some lengths done. Can get quite serious so bring a pair of goggles and don't expect a hot tub. There are slower lanes for less experienced swimmers.

The Tate Modern houses some of the best modern art in the capital. The new wing opened earlier this year meaning a whole lot more for art lovers. The view from the 10th floor is also pretty spectacular.
