17 Unusual Things To Do In London

1. GAWP AT A VIEW

Survey London’s skyline with a cocktail in hand at the zen-like and leafy Sky Garden. Entry is free, but book well ahead. Particularly pretty at breakfast. skygarden.london 

2. HAVE A LAUGH

Big West End shows not your cup of tea? Head instead to the more down-to-earth and vivacious Soho Theatre for the best new British comedy, theatre and cabaret shows. The late-night slots are great for post-dinner entertainment and it’s slap bang in the middle of Soho, so make the most of the multitude of top-notch restaurants around. sohotheatre.com

Few people know that Holborn Dining Room is home to The Pie Room, spearheaded by pastry expert Calum Franklin. No soggy bottoms here – Calum makes each intricate pie by hand and will even teach you how to do so yourself if you join one of the pie-making classes. holborndiningroom.com

Head to a former call centre in the heart of Hackney to experience an incoherent vision of the world in the form of The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities.

10. GO OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

Four kilometres in length, the Parkland Walk is the longest Linear Nature Reserve in London, following a former railway line connecting Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace.
