Daniel This is a lovely little nature nature reserve that is a former chalk quarry. As you walk through you can still see the remains of the wash mills. There is a small lake at the far end that is full of wildlife. There is loads of wild flowers growing and plenty of wildlife to see. It’s a nice peaceful nature reserve that doesn’t get busy and perfect for a relaxing walk.

Stefan Stefanov Beautiful and pleasant park in the forest. There are many flowering trees and flowers. A very wide variety of trees and a pleasant walk along them. There is free parking nearby, as well as a cafe restaurant. We will definitely visit it again

Jay Chiplunkar Visited Big Ben and it truly lived up to the hype! The architecture is absolutely stunning, especially when seen up close. The detailing on the clock tower is impressive, and the chimes are iconic – hearing them in person feels special. The entire area around the Houses of Parliament has a historic charm, and the view across the River Thames adds to the experience. It’s even more beautiful in the evening when the tower lights up. Great spot for photography and a must-visit landmark when in London. Even though it can get crowded, the atmosphere is lively and worth it. A timeless symbol of the city!

Kyn1te XD Deptford Park is a really nice local green space and a good place to relax if you’re in the area. There’s plenty of open space for walking, jogging, or just sitting down and enjoying the fresh air. The park is usually clean and well maintained, and there are benches around if you want somewhere quiet to sit. It’s popular with locals but rarely feels overcrowded, which makes it quite peaceful compared to some bigger London parks. Overall it’s a great spot for a short walk or a break from the busy streets nearby.

Pries Carsane Chelsea Bridge is famous for its unique self-anchored suspension design and its history as a popular spot for motorcyclists in the 1950s. Its also known for being the site where Julius Caesar is believed to have crossed the Thames during his invasion of Britain. Additionally, the bridge is aesthetically pleasing, with ornate pillars and floodlighting that illuminates its towers and cables at night.

Prokop Španěl A fabulous cathedral sized church by Lutyens blessed with immaculate acoustic properties !

Arnon Beautiful museum. Small but lits of technical and graphical descriptions if his projects. Going down the tunnel peer is amazing.

Abbey Opadotun I spent some time at North Acton Playing Fields recently, and it’s a classic, expansive community hub that feels like the "active lungs" of the Acton area. While Cathnor Park is your "secret garden," this is where you go when you need space to move. The most striking thing about these fields is the sheer variety of sports on offer. On any given weekend, the place is a hive of activity with football matches, cricket in the summer, and people making use of the tennis courts. I was particularly impressed by the Pavilion; it’s a great facility that anchors the park, housing the Think & Do community space which often hosts local workshops and eco-projects, giving the park a bit more "soul" than your average playing field. If you arent there for sports, the perimeter path is a fantastic loop for a run or a brisk walk. There are some lovely pockets of wilder planting and mature trees along the edges that provide a nice buffer from the surrounding residential streets and the nearby A40. The childrens playground is also a major draw—it’s large, fenced-in, and has a good range of equipment that keeps the younger ones busy for hours.

Christopher Keeffe A small museum on the first floor of what is/was the Tourist Information Centre. The museum, modest cost c£5:00 (with concessions) tells an important aspect of the history of Rochester and nation. The Huguenots fled persecution from Franch, during war of religion. During the same period in history in England Elizabethan laws were applied by successive protestant monarch against English Catholics and other non-conformists. For a small museum, it covers a lot of history and is very informative with artifacts from the period including a bible that was baked in a loaf of bread to hide it. A wonderful and detailed dolls house a small sculpture as well a other objects use in daily, religious and medical life including a bleeding pan. The Hugonauts founded the French Protestant hospital further down the high street. Currently below the museum is displayed one of the original HMV paintings of Nipper - His Masters Voice.
