Consult our London for free page for more ideas.

Another idea: find and sit on the Spitalfields rabbits. In fact, poke about and see just how many pieces of public art you can find and sit on in the area. Many thanks for the idea, inspired by the photo by Not Quite Me found in the Londonist Flickrpool.
