Urban Escapes

Even in the heart of London you'll find unexpected places of calm. Many churches, particularly in the City, have restful small gardens. At lunchtimes free concerts are often given. St Paul's Churchyard, in Covent Garden, is a notable oasis and Postman's Park, in Aldersgate (near the Museum of London) is a particularly touching spot with a wall of plaques dedicated to members of the public who died in heroic acts of self-sacrifice.
Under-visited galleries and museums include Apsley House, Dickens House, Leighton House, the National Army Museum and the Wallace Collection.
