In London for the Olympics – Things to Do

Red Maps — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:12:47 +0000

It’s a cool small area just behind the Selfridges on Oxford St. The stores along Marylebone High St are a fun mix of local merchants and small cafes. Here’s a little map with “Six Things” to see when you are there like parks and galleries. – Jim, I create the Red Maps.
