Everything Else
Use Shadwell station to get into the West End (Oxford Street, Soho, Notting Hill) really quickly. Just one stop to Bank and then onto the Central line.

It looks far but it's actually just a pleasant 30-minute walk from the house. Just follow the Thames Path signs. Big skyscrapers, a shopping mall and lots of accumulated money.

You may wonder what that helmet shaped thingy is. It's where the Mayor of London works. There's a nice green area where you can sit and marvel at the skyline & Tower Bridge.

Sightseeing
Go to Brick Lane on Sunday when it's at its busiest. It's also great on other days if you cannot deal with the crowds. Don't eat the curry from the restaurants there. Not very good.

Arts & Culture
Best area, in my opinion, to just walk around and bump into 100s of coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques. Pure city life. 20 mins from the flat (Shadwell, Bank, Tottenham Court Rd).
