I've been on some London Walks myself, one with my parents who grew up in London. They are pitched at a high enough level of intelligence to be really interesting and the guides are professionals who really know their stuff and can answer questions around the subject as well as random topics that crop up. I've found this company to be the very best.
I intend to go on a walk this Sunday - I can't go to the gym until 13.00 so it will give a meaning to my usually lazy morning. I'll take my camera and report back. |
Those walks are totally awesome. I did the Jack the Ripper walk and want to do the Harry Potter walk and the Beatles walk sometime.
When I'm in London, I like to go to the Victoria & Albert Museum and Pizza Express (I don't know why) and of course, just walk around and find interesting things - such as counting all of the Pret A Mangers and Starbucks
.
I tend to be one of those people that scoffs at touristy things, but the Tower of London can't be missed, it's really cool.
For my next trip across the pond (whenever that happens), Kew Gardens is on my list. I haven't been there yet. I also want to go to the National Gallery (I've thrown up in front of it, but never been in it.)
