Throughout its 1600 square kilometres, London host 48 neighbourhoods with over 8 million inhabitants. Actually, since old times, when some of the current megapolis didn\u2019t even exist as such, London was already growing at an impressive rate, to the point that it started to split into separate \u201cmini cities\u201d, with their own culture and history.\n\nYou can see the differences and particularities of everyone of London\u2019s neighbourhoods: in some you can find most of its monuments, theatres and churches, while others host the greatest examples of modern architecture, or street markets, or ethnic cuisine or street art, or nightlife\u2026\n\nIt would be great that you can visit all of them, but that sounds unrealistic. So, we want to offer you here a suggested guide with some neighbourhoods you shouldn\u2019t miss, especially if it is your first time in the city.<br><br>\n<h2>LONDON NEIGHBOURHOODS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM<\/h2>\nIf we talk about neighbourhoods, Soho is the first one to comes out. It has wonderful zones like Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and the crowded London\u2019s theatre district. But there are other neighbourhoods that has been earning their own, well-deserved popularity.\n\nShoreditch, for example, has become the capital of London\u2019s alternative cultures for the last twenty years, due to its incredible samples of street art (Banksy\u2019s and ROA\u2019s, for example) and street markets, nightclubs and alive music venues.\n\nHugh Grant and Julia Roberts starred the \u201cNotting Hill\u201d movie, released in 1999, that made this neighbourhood even more famous, with its great Carnival and street markets, home to many world-know celebrities.\n\nWonderful attractions can be found at Greenwich neighbourhood, like the Prime Meridian Line, the O2 Arena, the Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum or the Royal Observatory.\n\nWe can not forget to talk about the City of London either, although not technically a neighbourhood by itself, is London\u2019s financial heart and one of the oldest areas of the city, with great historic sites like the Tower of London and the London Wall or, by contrast, some of the most outstanding modern architecture samples, such as The Shard and The Gherkin.<br><br>\n<h2>PRICES AND RATES<\/h2>\nAs you can imagine, the most famous neighbourhoods in London are some of the most expensive ones as well, but you don\u2019t need to pay for visiting them, unless you want to spend the whole day and have a fancy meal.\n\nSoho, for example, is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in London for everything, from a good dinner, to accommodation or buying souvenirs. The City of London is notably pricey as well, like its cafes, bars and restaurants.\n\nIn the other hand, Shoreditch or the rest of East London neighbourhoods are cheaper and they have everything to offer as well.\n\nAnd finally, if you\u2019re looking for bargains, you can find great deals in street markets such as Notting Hill\u2019s Portobello Market or the Greewich Market, with many interesting offers.<br><br>\n<h2>BEST HOURS FOR LONDON NEIGHBOURHOODS<\/h2>\nRestaurants and shops remain open more hours in Soho than in any other place in London. You can find shops open until 9:00 pm (which is a lot to say in UK) in Oxford Street and restaurant until 00:00 in Chinatown. In Greenwich, cafes use to be open since 07.00 but restaurants use to close at 22.00, or even earlier.\n\nThe City of London, in the other hand, with a life more related to jobs and offices, is mostly a 9:00-17:00 neighbourhood.\n\nThese hours, are obviously related to the season of the year, even more than week days or weekends. Soho, for example, turns even brighter and alive in December, full of Christmas lights and in January, with the Chinese New Year\u2019s celebrations in Chinatown.\n\nRegarding to street markets, Camden\u2019s and Shoreditch\u2019s are usually on weekends, while week days, specially from Wednesdays to Fridays are mostly for Greenwich Market, Covent Garden Market and Leadenhall Market.\n<br><br><h2>VALUABLE TIPS<\/h2>\nFortunately, neighbourhoods like Soho, Notting Hill and The City of London are really close to each other, so you can visit them in a row in few hours. On the contrary, neighbourhoods like Greenwich and Shoreditch are out of the route of Central London. But that is not a problem, you can get there pretty easily by bus, tube, train or coach. In London you can go pretty much everywhere by tube, thought probably get to Shoreditch is easier by bus. In case you are driving, you should consider that Central London\u2019s parkins are really high priced and also that there can be traffic and crowded streets, so we recommend you to better use public transportation<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London is one of the largest and most diverse cities on the world.
