Around London
Thing to do and see
Obviously London is a world capital, filled with fabulous things to delight the senses! Take in a night of theatre in the West End, go shopping along the King's Road, or check out the nightlife in Shoreditch - the city has a little bit of anything you might be looking for!
Our event venue lies in the middle of one of the best bits for museum fans. Within a few minutes' walk from Baden-Powell House you can visit The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum and more! Many of the museums are free/at-will donation entry and some are open late on Friday night. Check out the website for the Exhibition Road Cultural Project for a bit more about the area.
Take a 2 minute walk to the top of Queen's Gate and you'll find yourself at the entrance to Kensington Gardens and adjoining Hyde Park. Wander to Kensington Palace or go visit the Peter Pan statue! Cross over to Hyde Park and rent a paddleboat on The Serpentine. Along the way, you can marvel at the loveliness of the Albert Memorial and Albert Hall - 2 stunning pieces of Victorian Architecture.
A short walk away from the museums and parks and you'll find yourself among the shops and restaurants of South Kensington which is always a treat!
