London Activities

If beer and chips are adding excess to your waistline, London offers a number of ways to work it off. Take out a rowboat for a dreamy drift after a picnic or promenade with a pipe in Hyde Park. Or hire a nag and go for a canter.

Only got three days and want to soak up some London vibe in a hurry? Visit the British Museum, undergo some retail therapy, go to a football match and sleep. Next morning, head 'sarf' of the river, and start by booking yourself a ticket for the London Eye. Round off with dinner at Petrus or Les Trois Garçons. On day 3, visit the Globe Theatre and picture the throngs listening to Shakespeare's words for the first time. Get a big dollop of old London atmosphere at Borough market before heading to the hulking Tower of London for a history lesson. A riverside pub would a be nice finish.
