B2 is part of Bodhi gallery and cafe. The gallery has a fast turn around of contemporary art shows. It's turning into a nice cultural centre of art, food and shopping.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16931 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16560 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16560 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13384 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13384 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13361 Many resorts have started asking for biodegradable sunscreen.

For every purchase you make from one of these retailers via the site, a percentage of your payment is passed onto a carbon offsetting scheme. You pay no extra than you would from shopping from this travel company normally; the donation comes from the store themselves.

You can even choose from a list of Project Partners which scheme you support.

Debate rages about the effectiveness of Carbon Offsetting - but every little helps.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12877 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12790 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12790 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12117 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12117 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11149

When I strolled down recently there was a new outdoor food and craft market. I was very very pleased to see that Neals Yard Cheese had a stall as usually you have to trek to Covent Garden or Borough market for their cheeses. Was lovely to be able to buy some really good, and not ridiculously priced food but wihout the business of some of London's other markets. I think the market's only there on Friday and Saturday; a lovely way to while away a weekend afternoon, especially as there are lots of tasting opportunities and a really good mix of well-known companies and tiny cottage industries.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9960 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9948 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9948 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9191

The selection of food and wines are among the best in London, and not always as expensive as you might think. And make sure you visit the wet fish section, truly spectacular!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9059 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6831 In the summer especially there are often good free events in the small parks that are dotted around, such as concerts on Friday evenings, and films sometimes on Saturdays.

If you're coming with children then combine your visit with Mudchute City Farm down in the Isle of Dogs. It has cows, goats and guinea pigs, plus a riding school.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6831 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4879 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4879 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4063 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4063
