Things To Do Near Marble Arch

Marble Arch is part of a capital city that is full of entertainment and only moments away from a range of absorbing activities.

The obvious pastime the average tourist thinks of when they picture Marble Arch is London’s busiest shopping road, Oxford Street.

The opening of Selfridges and Debenhams in 1909 marked the beginning of the rise of the street’s reign over the shopping world and the road has an unrivalled list of shopping venues to this day including John Lewis, chic Swedish shop H & M, Primark, Zara, Mango and Topshop’s flagship store.

For something special why not go to gown designer Sharon Cunningham, based in New Quebec Street, who has worked with some of the biggest names in fashion and film.

If you desire some peace from the bustle of the high street then venture over to Hyde Park where you can sail over the Serpentine Boating Lake on a pedalo or rowing boat.

A popular place for swimmers it is also a great place to eat at the two cafes available there – the Lido Café and the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen.

For a bit of hearty film entertainment go to The Screen on Baker Street with two intimate screening rooms and luxurious seating it makes for a great romantic setting.

How about learning or enhancing a skill while in the capital? Cooking is the new favourite pastime and at L’Atelier des Chefs classes are given in the basement kitchens of the Wigmore Street branch where you are allocated a chef to work with to mould you into a culinary genius.

For a selection of clubs try the trendy Funky Buddha or Mahiki in Mayfair or why not party at the aptly-named Disco in Soho.

For something a little special head to The Windsor Castle pub, in Crawford Place, where you’ll be forgiven in thinking you’ve entered a museum.

Cabinets are filled with photos and decorative plates with royal family and film memorabilia everywhere for you to peruse over as you drink your pint.

Marble Arch is a busy centre of town that will keep you on your toes just as the shopping crowds will in Oxford Street.
