Worth a visit and very big, if you like science - great space section, transport exhibits also interesting. Free entry and a good alternative if the next door Natural History Museum is too crowded.

Smaller than nearby Kensington Gardens or Hyde Park but also lovely. Used to be the grounds of Lord Holland's London home but was donated to the borough when he died. Has some open areas, playing fields and tennis courts as well as wooded paths to wander along. Look out for the peacocks that wander free in the grounds.

Want to see one of Britain's most expensive streets? Wander down The Boltons with its two crescents and private, communal gardens in the centre. Homes here don't come on the market often but the last time a house sold in The Boltons was in 2012 for almost £54 million.

Lined with all kinds of shops, boutiques, cafes and pubs, Kings Rd is a well known place to shop for well-heeled locals. Great for celebrity spotting - a while back I saw Kate Middleton doing some shoe shopping, Terence Stamp buying groceries and Hugh Grant grabbing a coffee in Starbucks. Best to start from the Sloane Square end (you can take the tube to Sloane Square) and wander down the street.
