Think of these ten stops as a day-out menu. Sir John Soane kept his house as a museum of his own mind, the Wallace Collection hangs Fragonard in a Marylebone mansion, and Kenwood puts a Rembrandt self-portrait on the edge of Hampstead Heath. The rest change the pace: a flower market that winds down by mid-afternoon, two miles of towpath, a jazz club and a bookshop made for browsing.
Pick one part of London and let a good stop lead to the next. The list runs from Little Venice to Dulwich, with Holborn, Somerset House, Kensington, Bethnal Green and Soho along the way.
