Go down to Brick Lane on Saturday or Sunday for the vintage market, itâs huge! Skip hotel breakfast and get a bagel from Beigel Bake while youâre there
Camden Market is where everyone goes. Thereâs lots of cute stalls and plenty of indie stores between the tourist traps. Try to go during the week because it can get overwhelming with people
Take advantage of the free (yes 100% free) museums!
V&A is a must, especially the costume wing
National Gallery/National Portrait Gallery is also nice
Also, cannot emphasize enough to only eat ethnic food while youâre there and eat as much as you can
Dishoom (if you canât get a dinner res just stand in line for lunch) is still a top 3 meal of all time for me
Try and get a res at Darjeeling Express! Chef Asma Kahn and her all-women run kitchen were featured on Chefs Table if you want to get to know her and the restaurant better and cry so much
Zima is a v cute Russian spot in SoHo with cafe vibes and cool art
If youâre a garlic girlie, Garlic and Shots is right around the corner and has, yes, so many different shots you can take and so much good bar food with garlic
Thereâs also a casual Sri Lankan food place called Hoppers on the same block
Seriously, forget about going out of your way for British food. Youâll be disappointed every time
If you ever want to get out of SoHo, walking is so rewarding and thereâs a ton a cute things to see. Also, the train is super easy (you can just use your phone to tap in and out now) if you want to explore other neighborhoods further out
