"We named Strand in central London as one of Britain's must-see destinations this year, ranking it in 11th place on the list. Why now? You might be thinking about this street that has literally been there since the Roman times. Well, as well as being one of the capital's most ancient and historic streets, it's also absolutely stacked with culture, restaurants, hotels and sites to see. And 2026 is looking to be an even more stellar year than most for the Strand."
"In 2026, art and theatre fanatics will be able to get their fix at Somerset House, The Courtauld and the Strand's several theatres. Things to look out for include exhibitions about marine ecosystems, music fandoms and edible earth at Somerset House; retrospectives on artists Barbara Hepworth, Salman Toor and Georges Seurat at the Courtauld; and of course, the production that won everybody's hearts in 2025: Paddington the Musical at the Savoy Theatre, which is set to run all the way through to 2027."
Strand in central London ranks among Britain’s most worth-visiting destinations for 2026, combining deep history with contemporary cultural offerings. Somerset House, The Courtauld and several Strand theatres will host exhibitions and performances including shows on marine ecosystems, music fandoms, edible earth, retrospectives of Barbara Hepworth, Salman Toor and Georges Seurat, and a long-running production of Paddington the Musical at the Savoy Theatre. Dining highlights include the relaunch of Simpson's In the Strand under Jeremy King, Toklas Bakery, Savoy Grill and historic pubs near the Royal Courts of Justice. Two new hotels will arrive: the 90-room St Clement Hotel by Nick Jones and the nearby Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch.
