The Rolling Stones, Amy Winehouse and Prince have all played Koko. But after a fire in 2020, the otherwise unchanging music hall took a beat. These days there’s a restaurant making good pizzas as well as a private members’ area with a piano room, a vinyl listening bar and a recording studio. London’s most iconic music venue, but stepped up a notch.

Whether you’re a total newbie or as old hat as they come, Engine Room has a class for everyone. We have literally never left this indoor rowing studio with a dry brow (or without very sore arms), and we love it. Classes here start at 6:00 am, so even the earliest birds will be able to get in a workout. 

A garden designed to be fit for meditation and we totally see why. Come to this little peaceful retreat when you need an escape from London's bustling streets. 

The permanent collection of gruesome medical artefacts is wildly fascinating. But a lot of people are less aware of the enormous archive of contemporary art, which is constantly being curated in new ways with health in mind – whether that’s mental illness, physical diseases or the wellbeing of our cities. An endlessly thought-provoking space.
