The Extraordinary Guide: London will take you on a local’s tour of this famously multicultural city. Beyond the iconic buildings, grand architecture, and famous museums, discover the village-like enclaves and quaint neighborhoods that make up many of the city’s postcodes. From West London—where rainbow-colored terraces and pretty, Instagrammable mews rub shoulders with Portobello Road’s vintage and antique markets—to East, where Shoreditch’s thriving art scene of street murals, galleries, and studios form an ever-changing backdrop to the food stalls and pop-up cafes that are home to some of the best international cuisine in the world.
