There's something undeniably cool about London. Steeped in tradition and quintessential British reserve, the city is also in a constant state of reinvention, earning its reputation as one of Europe’s most desirable capitals on the cutting-edge of art and architecture, music and design.
As playful as it is prim, the traditional old guard is grand, to be sure, but then there is the city's edgier side, where creative enclaves graciously welcome outsiders who can't resist getting caught up in the vibe. From the gastropubs of Camberwell to Peckham's playful, parking-lot bar, a grand music hall in Whitechapel, and a theater lit only by candles on the banks of the River Thames, discover the city as you’ve never seen it before with our curated guide to Uncommon London.
