Planning a weekend in London? In my opinion, it's always a good idea. Stay at one of the favorite hotels like The Hoxton, Ace, or CitizenM, and make sure to book a table at the restaurants you want to dine at right away.

In London, you've got red buses and phone booths, lots of tea, and the royal family. But beyond all the English stereotypes, this city has always been incredibly hip and happening. The best neighborhoods include Camden Town, Notting Hill, Shoreditch, and Soho. Camden Market offers a variety of markets and tons of vintage shops, Shoreditch boasts street art and hotspots on every corner, and Soho boasts the most delicious eateries. Head to Notting Hill on the weekend for the famous market and pick up some vintage items or enjoy a leisurely brunch. In this London City Guide, I've compiled my favorite spots for you!
