Visit London’s Pick of the Week

From this week, some restaurants, bars, pubs and museums will start reopening and we can’t wait to pay them a visit, so below are a few great places to put on your radar, as well a couple of online events to bridge the gap! If you’re in London, don’t forget to snap a few pictures of what your new normal looks like and submit it to the Because I’m a Londoner competition.
See you soon,

What: The first of London’s much missed museums and galleries to reopen, the National Gallery is back!
