Four Things to DO in London
Being a tourist is about experiencing the different cultures and attractions of a foreign place. Activities usually revolve around visiting sites that are old hat to the natives. There is little doubt that London houses some of the most exquisite art and the most architecturally interesting buildings in Europe. Nevertheless, for a truer picture of the culture and people of London, you need to get out and be among them.
So, rather than point you at four things to SEE in London, here are four things to actually DO in London. All are located near central of town and should be close to your London accommodation.
Ride the London Eye
There is a gargantuan Ferris wheel in the middle of downtown London. Who knows? Doctor Who may be just around the corner. Unlike any major theme park in the States, standing in line is an experience to treasure. Buskers, artists and assorted other players make their way through the crowd but don’t worry, the English will watch out for you.
Run the River
This marvel of technology has the wherewithal to challenge the greatest of Olympic athletes as is was built for just that purpose. You, on the other hand, can dial down the churning action to an acceptably exciting level. Everyone in the family can experience the thrill of white water rafting without any worries.
Experience Art at the National Gallery
Don’t just view art, create it. Every weekend, this national treasure plays host to families interested in art workshops. Children from five to twelve are encouraged to participate with or without their parents.
Ride the Hovercraft
More of an experience than an activity, a ride on the hovercraft to Calais is truly remarkable ride. The waves crash and the ride jostles. Just go to France and come back. It’s worth trip though, it is said, that some people choose to stop in Paris for the day.
London is home to innumerable artistic and architectural treasures but none rival the value of its inhabitants. Visit, enjoy a London accommodation and feel the warm hospitality of our friends from across the pond.
