Description: Before starting your day of art, begin by picking up one of the best coffees you will find in London, along with a delicious croissant. Konditor and Cook is a fantastic patisserie, that is local to the capital. Its chefs make freshly baked goods onsite every day.

Description: The Hayward Gallery is part of the wider Southbank Centre and holds some of the best exhibitions that are displayed, worldwide. With a leaning towards modern classics, exhibitions include art from living greats like Anthony Gormley, amongst others. Whilst the gallery itself has not aged well - the concrete architecture dated very quickly - the space inside is fantastic. It is a much quieter gallery too than many others that London has to offer.

Description: Having wandered around the Hayward gallery for over an hour, hunger will begin to strike. Now is the time to grab a bite to eat at a relaxed restaurant on the Thames, part of the BFI, or the British Film Institute. With views over the river as well as the Southbank promenade itself, it is a fantastic place to take a load off and watch commuters, locals and tourists go by. The food is well priced for London too, with a wide selection on offer to cater for a variety of tastes and needs. It's also a great spot for a sundowner, should your timings work out.

Description: The Tate Modern is a fair walk down the Southbank from the BFI, but it will afford you some incredible views of the city on the way, with St Paul's being on the horizon. Once at the gallery itself, make sure you have enough time to visit as much art as possible in this cavernous space. The permanent collections here are fantastic and should not be missed - the galleries will be a great deal quieter than the temporary exhibits. However, if there is a temporary show on that can't be missed, make sure to book tickets in advance. The Tate Modern has a great habit of putting on sellout blockbuster shows.

Description: While not a great looker, this pub has an outside space with sweeping views of the river and London's skyline. It is also about a three minute walk from the Tate Modern, so it is the perfect place to rest weary feet and tired eyes that have been taking in all that fantastic art. It's a Fuller's pub so the drinks menu isn't extensive or fancy, but it does mean that beverages are well priced and easy on the wallet.
