Eating out
The City provides a wide variety of venues for eating out. Countless pavement cafes provide the perfect setting for a morning coffee or a working breakfast or lunch. And the numerous and diverse restaurants cater for all dining requirements; from gastropub to Michelin star dining; from traditional British dishes to the best international cuisine.
Bars & Pubs
The true secrets of the City reveal themselves when the working day ends. It’s an area that’s dynamic by day but compelling by night. From lively watering holes to cool hotel bars and members’ clubs, the area offers an array of social diversions, after work and into the weekend.
Open Space
Being a resident of the City brings a myriad of benefits. Away from the fast pace of business centre there are some quiet hidden spots and tranquil open spaces to pass a peaceful moment. Enjoy an alfresco workday lunch, find a bench and read the paper or watch a game of bowls. The nearby River Thames offers some pleasant walks and the excellent river boat service provides City residents an alternative transport option.
Shopping
Streets that are steeped in history and ring with the sounds of commerce are now energized by a retail revolution. The City today offers excellent shopping. Established fashion brands sit alongside the latest eclectic independent boutiques for bespoke and luxury goods. Discerning tastes and specialist needs are catered for as well as the necessities for everyday life.
Food & Provisions
Good food has always been part of the City’s culture; it has been the established centre for the trade of London’s fresh produce for centuries. Today, more than ever, the area is a mecca for food connoisseurs. New delicatessens vie for custom with the old markets, all selling the best local fare along with imported gourmet delights.
The City is also neighbour to the fashionable areas of Clerkenwell, Hoxton, Shoreditch and Spitalfields. It is also in close proximity to the well established destinations of the West End, Covent Garden and Soho.
