West London for a Non-touristy Travel Experience
London is packed with exciting things to do, see, eat, experience. The city is rich in culture and history and you could spend weeks just looking at museums (the TATE Modern is free! as are many in the city ... ).
London is also incredibly diverse. All of the many ethnic backgrounds means some of the best food in the world.
For a non-tourist experience, Megan McDonough of WeBlogTheWorld.com has some tips. London's West End for the Non-Tourist Is Not As Crowded has a lot of great information about this less trafficked but fascination area.
Here's an excerpt:
Notting Hill: It’s hard to say anything bad about this quiet, serene neighborhood. If you head here on the weekend, get ready for the crowds. Portobello Market is a popular place on Saturdays, especially if you are an avid art or antique lover. Heading to the market is one way to feel a part of the local London community. I always enjoyed people watching during these leisurely strolls. On a weekday, the streets are much less crowded and serve as the perfect location for a day of reading and window-shopping. Not far is Hyde Park, one of London’s well-kept and gorgeous public parks.
