A Roman forum, a poultry market, Horace Jones's 1881 ironwork and a monthly vintage flea market, all on one set of cobbles in the City of London.

Foster Books, a bronze Hogarth with his pug, a greengrocer worth photographing, and Lord Burlington's Palladian villa at the end of the walk.

A house built between two bays by a Rothschild who wanted to live on a ship, with nine gardens, a loggia buried in bougainvillea and the best terrace view on the Riviera.

A marble bust in a top hat and a masquerade mask, paper chains in the library and a Tudor gatehouse in the frost. The National Trust's Warwickshire house at its best.

An hour from Liverpool Street: pargeted plasterwork, jettied timber houses, the largest turf maze in Europe, a free Victorian garden, and Audley End a walk across the park.

A house so big that Charles II bought it as a palace, and the third of it that survives, with Robert Adam interiors, a Capability Brown park and a parterre full of tulips in April.

Four hundred years of arrivals on one East End street: Huguenot weavers, the Sunday market, salt beef at four in the morning and walls that get repainted every few months.

It was a freezing Saturday morning but seeing Hyde Park inundated with mini carpets of snowdrops and daffodils warmed our souls with fresh hope: yes, spring is on its way (at last!). We just have to brave another stormy February.

John Hatchard opened on Piccadilly in 1797 and the shop has never left the street. Its history, the royal warrants, Oscar's table, whether it really is the oldest – and what it can still do that the internet cannot.

Built in 1912 as a bookshop and still doing the job. The oak galleries, the skylight, the stained-glass window, why the books are shelved by country, and how the man who opened it in 1990 ended up running Waterstones and Barnes & Noble.
