Community Sauna Baths
We recently returned from a fantastic trip to Oslo, where sauna culture is huge. All Norwegians love to sauna. And we are now absolute converts to the sauna life too. The difficulty here in London is that saunas (and spas) are not the most affordable.
Cone8
Who doesn’t enjoy getting a bit of creativity into their lives? Get those juices flowing at cone8, a lovely little pottery studio in the quieter recesses of Hackney Wick. Some might say it’s the perfect aperitif ahead of an awesome night out across the canal in the busier areas of The Wick.
The Photographers’ Gallery
You can find one of London’s best museums literally a stone’s throw from Oxford Street and most people wouldn’t even know it was there.
Totally Wild
Sometimes life gets a bit hectic and we strive for calmness, for nature, for giving back to the planet. Foraging is a trend that is becoming more and more popular amongst people, as well as a fair few well-known chefs.
Thames Rockets
Is there any better feeling than having the wind shooting through your hair as you zoom along a river in a souped-up rocket boat? I think not.
Whistle Punks
This is probably the first and only place on this website that doesn’t need a description. Whistle Punks does exactly what it says on the tin. You take an axe. You throw it at a target. That is it. Embrace your inner viking. It’s amazing.
Wellcome Collection
Sure you’ve got all the really well-known museums in London that all the tourists cram into everyday. But there are some more under-the-radar beauts that really deserve your attention. Like the Wellcome Collection.
The Vaults
Did you know that there’s an immersive theatre underneath Waterloo in a maze of disused railway arches? Welcome to The Vaults.
Southbank Centre Book Market
If you are a book-lover you know that there is nothing better than finding a treasure trove of second-hand books somewhere and just browsing through at your heart’s content. One of the best places to do this in London is on by the Southbank Centre.
Science Museum
London has so many museums and it’s sometimes really difficult to decide where to go, but the Science Museum is always right up there.
Flight Club
Gone are the days of sitting in some old man pub with a pint of Stella throwing darts against some rickety rubbish dart board in the corner. Welcome to the new home of social darts - Flight Club.
Dans Le Noir
As far as unusual London experiences go, this one probably sits pretty high up on the list. How would you feel about a classy French bistro meal, the perfect date night, except it’s completely in the dark.
Columbia Road Flower Market
For the past 150 years or so Columbia Road has been home to the UK’s best and favourite flower market.
Cocktails In The City
Every year Cocktails in the City puts on its Summer Series in the gorgeous Bedford Square Gardens.
Chinese New Year
Every year from around late January to mid February (dates change every year) you need to head on down to Chinatown for the biggest and best annual Chinese celebration outside of Asia.
All Star Lanes
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And when it comes to fun nights out in London this is extremely true for bowling, specifically at All Star Lanes.
