London's Hidden Gems
Beyond the main landmarks, London contains unique sites like the bombed-out medieval ruins of St Dunstan in the East and the Victorian funerary architecture of Highgate Cemetery. Cultural history is preserved at Leighton House, the former home and studio of artist Lord Leighton, and 575 Wandsworth Road, featuring hand-carved fretwork by poet Khadambi Asalache. Scientific and unusual interests are met at the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in Hackney and Trinity Buoy Wharf, home to the city’s only lighthouse situated where the Thames meets Bow Creek.
