If that's all too tiring, refresh with a dip in Hackney Fields Lido.
In perhaps the most urban borough in London, it's the most beautiful and relaxing canal-side walk/cycle ride you can imagine, and with the added bonus of a tour of the new Olympic Stadium. Makes for a brilliant day out for all. An undiscovered gem of a park as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27559 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26305 I found a nice little studio apartment in South Kensington, close to Hyde Park and the Victoria & Albert Museum (beautiful building, great exhibitions). The apartment, Cromwell, was perfect.
I went shopping at Harvey Nicols and Harrods and visited the V&A Museum and the Tate Modern.
A restaurant worth mentioning is Tokyo Diner, near Leicester Square. Great, inexpensive Japanese food. I loved their social and environmentally-conscious philosophy.
In Barcelona I was very lucky to have beautiful weather and was even able to spend time on the beach. I found a great two-bedroom apartment, Girona Design 2B, in the Eixample, just north of El Born, with Aspasios. The Eixample is a very nice and quiet neighbourhood to stay in and still in close proximity of all the good stuff.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26305 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18090 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18090 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17661 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17661 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13336
