Ive done all your typical touristy stuff...
Visited the Tower of London...
Climbed to the top of Tower Bridge...
Walked in the footsteps of the Royal family at Buckingham Palace...
Seen London through a a glass pod in the London Eye...
Whispered in St Paul's Cathedral...
Ive been to Covent Garden, seen Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre...
Snapped photos of Big Ben and listened to his echoing chime...
Had a pub lunch. Or several. And I've stared down the lions in Trafalgar Square and been to more museums than I can count. Ive also done plenty of day trips from London and travelled for weekends away to Europe. Ive done some wacky things, from running like mad in a city wide treasure hunt, to a Loo Tour, to doing the can-can with perfect strangers. No I wasn't drunk at the time either. For any of them.
What I'd like to do now is dig a little deeper. I want to do those things that are not your average thing to do or place to eat in London. I have started building a list (I have 15 items so far). Quirky restaurants, unusual tours and fun events that you would only find in this city. And here is where you come in. If you have been somewhere or done something I might find interesting, let me know! Drop me an email, let me know via facebook, comment below or tweet me! It can be a cute cafe off the beaten track, your favourite walk, an unusual spot or whatever you like! I'll try almost anything. So, what are you waiting for?
In the meantime, here is my list of things to do in London which i'll keep adding to as I go along.
- ClueQuest - Operation Black Sheep
- The Drowned Man - Temple Studios (Punchdrunk)
- The Royal Courts of Justice
Oooh this is a great idea! Would love to know what's on your list :)
