The Long Room at the Honourable Artillery Company: I was lucky enough to attend my first British wedding (hat included) at the historic HAC and got a rare peek at its magnificent rooms.

James Smith & Sons: Founded in 1830, this one stop umbrella and cane shop is a working bit of London history in the West End.

Zebrano Greek Street: In the heart of Soho "amateur hour" party scene, this spot is perhaps the exact opposite of the other four sights.

Freightliners Farm: One of our favorite reasons to live in London is the abundance of "city farms," small working farms in the heart of the city where you can bring your kids to see cows, horses, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and other animals for free.

The Circular Staircase at Heal's: Such a lovely architectural surprise hidden within this furniture and home decor store on Tottenham Court Road, Heal's is celebrating 200 years this year. A bit of history here.

And finally a few local sites that you don't have to be local for... Of course, there's Londonist and the London Photobloggers. Also check out Fresh Eyes on London, Directory of London, and East London Local. Then two theme-driven blogs that don't post often but are worth a look: The Cabbie's Capital, Love London Council Housing. And finally, perhaps my favorite, Tired of London Tired of Life is a great blog where I've been finding a lot of useful and interesting places to visit.
