013 - Original London Experiences đ
With April 1st on our doorstep, we figured the timing was nearly perfect* to list some of the most original experiences the city of London has to offer. Whether youâre new to London, or never been (t)here before, weâre sure thereâs lots youâll ârecognizeâ and enjoy.
âľ Float Along the Thames River
There are many ways to get around a world class city like London; Double Decker busses are classic, and the Tube is highly efficient...but thereâs nothing more fun than zipping down the Thames River on a boat!
đď¸ Shop Covent Garden
Whatâs a visit to London without frequenting Covent Garden? Situated in one of the most notable neighborhoods in the city, youâll have your pick of worldwide fashions and finely poured cask ales. As a bonus, thereâs four (yes, 4!) Weatherspoons close by!
ⲠTour Hyde Park
Looking for a break from the skyscrapers and traffic? Take a stroll through Hyde Park. Just don't hurt the swansâtheyâre owned by the Queen, and ruffling a single feathering on these prized birds could result in jail time.
đ Visit Blackfriars
Wondering âWatsonâ for Sherlock Holmes fans? Head to Blackfriars Station and take part in a recreation of Sir Arthurâs The Red-Headed League, or any other number of walks inspired by fictionâs most famous sleuth.
*For best results: we suggest reading this list on Sunday.
Next week: Limericks, Sonnets, Shakespeare, and Roy. Oh My!
