Holiday in London

Can't face another airport run? Shuddering at the thought of getting away only to find that everyone else has got there before you and bagged the best rooms?

Relax - you can see the world without having to leave London. This summer, holiday in the souks of Tangier, the bazaars of Delhi, the back alleys of Hanoi, even the fleshpots of Beirut, bypassing the long-haul (though the more intrepid may find themselves venturing into the hinterlands of Zone 3).

With our guide to some of the capital's distinctive enclaves, the world's your oyster - or, rather, your dried witch, your midye tava, or your brain masala.
