But if you're interested in a bit of culture beyond what you've seen on the small screen, check out the ethnic markets of Brixton or Brick Lane. For a more mainstream shopping experience, head to Oxford Street where you will find giant retail stores such as Nike Town and the Apple Store.
This month is also a great time to visit Chinatown, where Chinese New Year celebrations kick off on 8 February.
