2. What to do on bloggers’ days off? We have a busy agenda filled with architecture tours, all the shows and events around the city, but there is so much more. Feel free to share what you think they should add to their agenda. Little shops? Great foodie places? Sightseeing? Have links ready to share or add comments to this blog posts.

3. The shows. There are so many. We will be visiting 100% Design, Design Junction, Tent London and Decorex so please share your favorites. Let us know about events at the shows, tweetups, talks etc that you would like us to join you in or share with our readers.

More tips for London from Modenus:

1. Tate Modern – it’s a short walk from Citizen M and a must see. If there’s time head up to the cafe and enjoy the view of St. Paul’s

2. National Portrait Gallery – Fabulous exhibits and again, one of the best views of London rooftops from the cafe. Stop by for afternoon tea.

3. Victoria & Albert and National History museum, both as much for their exquisite exhibits as for their architecture

4. British museum – we could spend all day here and have done, amazing architecture

5. Just walk – London is a town to walk in. Walk from the V&A museum to Victoria Station cross through Knightsbridge and walk along Green park

6. Regents Park and the Canals

7. Portobello Road on Saturday morning

8. Tom Dixon’s Portobello Dock

9. Brick Lane on Saturday morning before we meet at Tent London.
