Sergey’s Travel Itinerary

We’re thrilled to have sat down with Mr. Sergey Men, our Urban Explorer and Founder of Bisushima – the newly-opened Japanese omakase-style restaurant inside Page8, to learn more about the new dining concept and his passion for cooking. As an explorer of various tastes and textures in the kitchen, we’re not surprised that he also finds comfort in discovering and re-discovering different parts of London. Follow Sergey as he takes us around the city on his 24-hour travel itinerary to some of his favourite places:

 

9AM:  Start your morning right in front of the Buckingham Palace, the London residence of the reigning monarchs of the United Kingdom

 

10AM: Take a stroll pass Westminster Abbey – a gorgeous Gothic abbey, the traditional place of coronation and the burial home for more than 3,000 monarchs and poets. Just next to the Abbey stands the Palace of Westminster together with the Elizabeth Tower, best known for its huge bell – Big Ben

 

11:30AM: The London Eye is definitely one of the most exciting attractions. It gets you so high you can see the whole London beneath you. Make sure to book online because otherwise the long queues will leave you no time for any other sights

1PM: Have lunch at the Borough Market

London has many restaurant options, but Borough Market can be a much more exciting to grab some amazing food. The lively, vibrant atmosphere and amazing smells will make you want to stay there forever. It’s also a great place to shop for spices, cheeses, mustard, tea, chocolate or basically anything you can think of

 

2:30PM: After lunch, head to the Tower Bridge and Tower of London. It is another great London landmark! The Tower Bridge is a perfect place to capture some amazing photos of the city and the river Thames. You can also go up inside the tower and walk along the glass floor above the road. It is not too far away from Tower Bridge so you can admire The Tower of London. It usually opens at 9AM, as most of the attractions are. Spend about 2 hours making stops at the Crown Jewels and the White Tower

4:30PM: Make your way over to St. Paul’s Cathedral, a magnificent, 111m high Baroque church that dates from the late 17th century, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and it is one of the highest in the world. It’s also possible to climb the dome for the breath-taking views from the Golden Gallery

 

6:30PM: Trafalgar Square is a lively London square, a nice place to chill out and relax after an exhausting day. Dominated by Nelson’s Column, it’s from here that London’s main arteries spread out. The National Gallery overlooks the square from the north with London’s entertainment heart, the West End, behind it. Head northeast until you reach Covent Garden, where you’ll find street performers in the elegant, though often very busy, piazza and some excellent shopping in the quaint streets and alleys around it and top spot for a many great restaurants

8:30PM: The last stop is Soho. This buzzing district is a perfect spot to eat, relax and shop. If you’re into Chinese food, there’s a Chinatown in the southern part of the Soho, with its multitude of delicious restaurants. Don’t skip Piccadilly Circus, either. This square got pretty famous for its video display and neon signs which is why it’s preferable to visit it at night
