Hunterian Museum: Part of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, this museum is not your typical art gallery. It’s a little more…shocking. On display here you can find thousands of medical specimens and cases of surgical instruments. Although it is captivating, it is not at all nauseating; the museum space is well-designed and super chic. Some of the most prominent exhibits include organs from soldiers who fought in the Battle of Waterloo during WWII, Winston Churchill’s dentures, and the skeletal remains of Charles Byrne, the “Irish Giant.” Definitely (hopefully) something you don’t see every day.

Kahve Dunyasi: Every imaginable culture merges in London, and the recent addition of Turkish coffee chain, Kahve Dunyasi, has got Londoners talking. Centered in the bustling Piccadilly area, The Times Square of London and a key location for London tours, this Turkish café is in a prime location for tourists and locals alike. Here, customers can pick up a Turkish coffee (which is packed with caffeine—great for those midday lulls), accompanied by a variety of sweets. It’s a perfect way to experience a new culture like a London local.

Somerset House: This place is a must-see for any modern traveler who wants to see a hybrid of fashion, art, photography, and skating. It makes for a unique contemporary art experience in a venue that is super trendy. Depending on the season, you can see shows during London Fashion Week, photography exhibits, or ice skate during the winter holidays. Also featured are dungeon exhibits that transport you through London’s history, enabling you to view it through a whole new lens.

Rich Mix: This is one of those great music venues that can satisfy anyone’s musical hunger. It is not only a local cinema, but is also a concert venue, café and art gallery. While the cinema presents potential Oscar winners and independent films, the concert venue hosts a wide variety of international artists from every possible genre.
