More about St Giles

Greater London, England

St Giles sits just north of London and manages to keep a proper sense of character despite all that concrete around it. The Museum of Comedy has been making people snort for years while the Museum of Freemasonry keeps history from getting too dusty. It's quite a pair if you ask us. You can wander past these two spots without needing a map or a guidebook to find your way. Near Here knows exactly where the laughs and the lessons are so you don't waste time hunting them down on a busy Tuesday evening.
