As a born-and-bred Londoner, the city still surprises me. I’m always exploring—whether it’s a new exhibition or reading on the train. We meet new people daily, often with just minutes to build a connection. There’s an art to that.

Benjamin Franklin House
Another lesser-known museum is Benjamin Franklin House, near Trafalgar Square. A visit will transport you back to the 1700s when Franklin lived here for 16 years. As the world’s last remaining home of one of America’s beloved Founding Fathers, it’s worth a visit. Most of us know him for being the face of the $100 bill but Franklin was responsible for many inventions, such as bifocals, and some even say he invented electricity in America.

We are lucky to have so many galleries on our doorstep – our hotel map has a section entirely devoted to them. The Royal Academy puts on remarkable exhibitions and promotes the practice of art in inclusive ways, and its setting in Picadilly’s Burlington House is stunning. But don’t underestimate Mayfair’s smaller boutiques and galleries, with little, easy-to-miss shop fronts. These places offer more intimate exhibitions and a more bespoke experience of collecting and appreciating art. .
