We all love visiting and exploring London, but after a few visits, it can get a bit boring just heading to the same old sights and attractions.
We have sourced some of the best fun and different things to do in London so when you next visit the city, you will see London like never before.
B Bakery, Afternoon Tea Bus
If you still fancy seeing some of the top sights and learning more about London but also love afternoon tea, then it doesn’t get much better than this. Head onboard one of B-Bakery’s vintage route master buses as it takes you through the streets of Central London. The tour lasts about 90 minutes and while you take in some of the City’s best sights you are treated to the very best array of tasty sandwiches, delicious cakes, and pastries.
Skuna, Hot tub/BBQ boat
For something completely unique head to Skuna Boats in Canary Wharf. You can pick from either a BBQ boat where you can cook up some fabulous food and sip beers while enjoying the views from the Thames. Or my favourite, a hot tub boat, yes that’s right, you can be in a hot tub whilst floating along the Thames. This is great fun for a romantic date night or with a group of friends and will make for a once in a lifetime experience.
The Big London Bake
If you are a big fan of The Great British Bake Off and want to experience the atmosphere in the tent for yourself, then The Big London Bake is for you. They want to make baking fun and enjoyable again, so no experience is needed, just bring your enthusiasm to cook something up. It’s perfect for dates, Hen Do’s, days out, and everything in-between, so grab your whisk and see if you could be the next Mary Berry.
Alice’s adventures underground
Fall down the rabbit hole to Alice’s Adventures Underground. Situated deep under Waterloo Station, they have created a wonderland that blends storytelling, live music, puppetry, circus, and spectacle. It’s a marvelously inventive and fun experience for adults who have forgotten to play and one you will never forget. Stay after for cocktails in their bar to continue your weird and wonderful night in style.
Rooftop cinema/ Secret cinema –
We’re talking popcorn, Prosecco, and pop-culture icon as cinema nights have had a fresh makeover in London with rooftop cinemas popping up all over the city. Head to Roof top film club for a selection of cult classics to watch under the stars. Bar Elba is serving you a cinema in the cloud with everything from rom-coms to indie flicks. They also have fabulous add ons from popcorn to fun cocktails to enjoy too.
GoBoat
GoBoat is a fun, self-drive boating experience where you are the captain, and can choose your route to explore. Training is providing to your captain for the day, so no experience is needed. They have multiple locations around London where you can hire a boat for 1,2 or 3 hours. Visit Kingston to cruise along the River Thames, or Paddington to adventure around Little Venice, Regents Park, and Camden. Coming soon is Canary Wharf where you will be able to access a stunning section of the London Docklands.
Buckingham Palace Picnic
Wanting to pretend you’re in Bridgerton for the day? Then put on a frilly dress and take your best wicker hamper to Buckingham Palace. For the first time, they are opening the Palace gardens for you to discover its sights and explore this iconic landmark like never before. Afterward, enjoy a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to picnic with views of the Palace. You can either treat yourself to come delicious refreshments from one of the food stalls dotted around the garden or bring your own picnic to enjoy.
