I say it to everyone, but make sure you go to the Sir John Soane Museum. It's free, and it's fucking awesome. Get there early head straight for the picture room and prepare to have your jaw dropped.

Tate Modern, Borough Market and Design museum on Friday.
Portobello Road Market (Nottinghill) or Camden Market and Primrose Hill on Saturday.
Head to Brick Lane and surrounding area on Sunday.
Just wonder around these areas and you'll come across something that floats your boat.
Check-out timeout on arrival for exhibitions.
