Modern 泰特現代美術館

泰特現代美術館致力於現代藝術，但是它卻成爲當地人和遊客最受歡迎的景點。　　

2. Marylebone Stroll 馬裏波恩

What's the nattiest neighborhood in London? Not leafy Notting Hill, not fashionable Hoxton or Shoreditch. They're all worth a look, but the real cool resides in Marylebone, an area so confident of its charms that it doesn't need to broadcast them.　　

倫敦最整潔的地方在哪裏，不是諾丁山，不是霍斯頓，不是索迪治，當然他們都值得觀光。但是還有一個充滿魅力的地方值得推薦，那就是馬裏波恩。

3. The London Eye 倫敦眼

Yes, it's a giant ferris wheel, and, yes, it's for tourists — but it's a worth a spin. Although it's an excruciatingly slow flight, you'll be rewarded with gloriously unimpeded views over London.　　

就是這個巨大的摩天輪被譽爲“倫敦眼”，對所有觀光客來講去轉一圈是非常值得的。雖然它轉得很慢，但是你可以欣賞到倫敦無比壯麗的景觀。

4. Inns of Court 律師學院　

The Inns were first established in the 14th century and housed in large, walled compounds; today, judges and barristers still work, study and sometimes live in these enchanted precincts.　

建於14世紀，律師學院被高大的圍牆包圍，現在還有法官和律師在裏面工作和學習。　

5. J. Sheekey J. Sheekey 海鮮館

If you like your dinner with a side order of celebrity, head to J. Sheekey, a fish restaurant with leather banquettes, paneled walls and an impressive art collection, in London's theaterland.

如果你想品嚐倫敦地道的附菜，去J. Sheekey吧！J. Sheekey是倫敦一家有名的海鮮館，除了食物美味外，餐館內部的裝修很也很有特色，其藝術收藏品也令人印象深刻。

6. Kensington Gardens 肯辛頓花園

Queen Caroline lived in Kensington Palace, on the western edge of the park, which has been home to assorted members of the extended royal family and household, and half of the palaces are open to the public.　　

位於肯辛頓花園內的肯辛頓宮，傳統上是威爾斯王子的宅邸，因此當查理王子與黛安娜王妃宣佈離異後，將一半的宮殿對外開放。

7. Berry Bros. & Rudd Berry Bros. & Rudd 紅酒吧

The poet Lord Byron was just one of many patrons of Berry Bros. & Rudd. Staff happily expound on the virtues of the cheaper wines and spirits they sell, alongside the rarest vintages.　　

詩人拜倫曾經也是Bros. & Rudd紅酒吧的忠實顧客。店員會熱情地向你介紹店裏的各種酒，無論是便宜的紅酒、白酒，還是昂貴的陳年葡萄酒。　

8. The Royal Court Theatre 英國皇家宮廷劇院

More recently, the theater has debuted Tom Stoppard's international hit, Rock 'n' Roll, and Christopher Shinn's Now or Later, set on the night of a U.S. presidential election as the family of the Democratic frontrunner awaits results.　　

最近，英國皇家宮廷劇院上演了Tom Stoppard的國際鉅製《Rock 'n' Roll》和 Christopher Shinn的《Now or Later》。《Now or Later》講述的是一個美國民主黨派家庭在大選揭曉之夜等待結果的故事。　

9. Smithfield Pub Crawl 酒吧一條街　　

London is far from being a 24-hour city. Alcohol licensing laws were relaxed in 2003, but finding a late-night drink still requires ingenuity. There is one part of city, however, that doesn't sleep: Smithfield.　　

倫敦是個不夜城，2003年起有關部門放鬆了酒精銷售許可證的發放。但是，在倫敦深夜想找一家酒吧喝酒還是得花點力氣。在Smithfield酒吧一條街，24小時爲您提供服務。　

10. Barfly and Roundhouse B&R現場表演　　

If you get claustrophobic at the Hollywood Bowl, then neither of the live music venues is for you. The Barfly is tiny, but that doesn't stop punkers from piling through the doors and turning the whole room into a mosh pit. Aross the road, the Roundhouse shows it knows the meaning of eclectic, with a program that includes big-name musicians, and even circus acts。　　

如果反感幽閉的好萊塢劇場，現場音樂表演場應該很適合你。Barfly雖然很小，但是卻聚集了很多的朋克青年。馬路對面的Roundhouse上演各種音樂的現場表演，包括一些大牌音樂家的演出，以及馬戲表演。
