The folks at Ye Olde Mitre bill it as one of the most difficult to find pubs in London and, you know, they might just be right. Though the likelihood of you accidentally stumbling across this pub are about 0.00001% it’s the fact that it’s so well hidden that makes it one of London’s best …
With 2020 getting ready to rear the uglier side of its head (again), it’s totally understandable if you want to escape reality, if only for a couple of minutes.

Chelsea Physic Garden is not the kind of place you stumble across. Hidden away behind an unprepossessing red brick wall, from the outside there’s little to suggest anything deserving of a second glance. Appearances are deceiving. You should grab the first opportunity you have to explore this four-acre botanical haven sandwiched between the Thames and …
