Landing at Heathrow with just a carry-on and a playlist full of British hits, London gets under your skin from the very first moment. This city guide is for those who like to mix the urban vibe with more rootsy spots. Whether you've come for the fish and chips or a shopping spree in Camden, here are the Team's must-sees, with a few hidden secrets thrown in for good measure ;)
Colorful walls around every corner. Sneakers on, head to Brick Lane for a good dose of street art and a salt beef bagel to die for. Shoreditch is the epicenter of London's good vibe. Underground cafés, thrift shops full of treasures and industrial vibes. Around any corner, you'll find a live band playing punk, jazz or grime.
Team tip: If you like our collection, check out the Rokit thrift shop for crazy vintage pieces that are totally in our mood.
There's no escaping classic Notting Hill, which has much more to offer than its pastel houses. Head to Portobello Road Market for old-school finds - vintage cameras, collector's vinyl or bohemian jewelry. And for cheat meal fans, Eggslut (yes, yes, that's the name) offers egg sandwiches that will quickly rise to the top of your musts!
Then it's on to the Electric Cinema for a session in plush armchairs. Indie films, blockbusters or old classics - the vibe is ON POINT.
It's time to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and climb up to Hampstead Heath. A green hill as far as the eye can see and a breathtaking view of London. From up there, you can capture all the duality of the capital: urban to the extreme, but also wild when you get a little further away.
Team tip: Stop by the Spaniards Inn, a quirky pub that's been around since the 16th century. Local beer mandatory.
London by night. Soho lights up and serves up eclectic vibes. We start on Carnaby Street for a glimpse of London fashion: chaotic, badass and hyper-stylish. Then, cocktails at Nightjar, an ultra-hot speakeasy.
London is all about raw energy and mixing the old with the new. So get your playlist ready, leave some room in your bag for shopping, and above all, take the time to get lost in this urban jungle that never sleeps!
