London is a frequently visited destination for many people. You could never get enough of all your favorite spots so you just keep coming back as often as you can. But sometimes you find yourself looking for something new to do while you are there and today we have the answer. Here is a list of enjoyable activities you can try:

1- Fly a small plane yourself

Difficulty level: absolutely safe and fun unless you have a fear of heights.

It is remarkable to be a real pilot for a day. For more information, read about our full experience here.

2- Try the baking classes at Bread Ahead

The bakery with the delicious donuts actually tells you how to bake them yourself. The workshops are quite enjoyable even if you are not a cooking person like me. They offer workshops for almost all types of baking not only donuts; like bread, croissants, bagels… etc.  If you happen to book a workshop with Bread Ahead, I urge you to book at their Borough Market school location. So you can enjoy the market after the class.

Final note, popular classes get fully booked quite fast specially during travel seasons. You need to book at least two weeks early.

• The Warner brothers Studio Tour (Harry Potter)

This is a magnificent must do activity if you are a potter fan. It is been around for 7 years now but it is still one of the top rated tours worldwide. Note that it is quite far from central London though (1 – 1:30 hours trip).

4- Slide the the world’s longest tunnel slide (ArcelorMittal Orbit)

The ArcelorMittal Orbit at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London has the world’s longest slide. It is a fun attraction as it would take you approximately 40 seconds to descend the 178 meters long slide. The park is in Stratford, around one hour away from central London.

There is a lot to do just half an hour away from tourists areas in London like Hyde Park and Mayfair. Some of the places you can enjoy free of charge are:

• Sky Garden: a beautiful building with incredible views of the city.
• Borough Market: one of the best markets in london. A lot of good food to try and lovely atmosphere.
• London Bridge & Tower Bridge: enjoy a walk on either bridges for iconic river views.
• St Katharine Docks Marina: My favorite spot! just set around and enjoy. There are many restaurants & cafes too.

That’s a wrap.
