London by Speedboat
If you feel that the normal tourist trails are a little long winded and you could do with spicing it up a bit, try a speedboat tour. Speeding up the Thames for 50 minutes will still allow you to take in all the major sights and historic buildings, just from a completely unique perspective. No [...]
Warner Brothers Studio Tour – the Making of Harry Potter
Since J K Rowling first published the original Harry Potter book, the tales of this young wizard and his friends have become something of a global phenomenon. The movies made of the novels have been entertaining families of all ages for the past decade and now the film studio doors are being opened so that [...]
The Sherlock Holmes Museum
Despite the fact that the man in question never actually existed and the fact that the address itself was a total fabrication, there is still a huge following of the stories relating to London’s first Consulting Detective. When Conan Doyle put pen to paper and wrote those first incredible detective stories, the numbers of the [...]
Museum of London
The Museum of London tells the colourful tale of this incredible city and those who live within it. There are in excess of 2,000,000 exhibits in the collections and it is what is considered to be Europe’s largest archaeological archive. A new gallery was opened in 2010 at the cost of £20 million which is [...]
The London Ghost Bus
The London Ghost Bus is a London tour unlike any other.

Though you may never have heard of it the museum has actually been in existence since the reign of Queen Victoria. It was a gentleman by the [...]
London Duck Tours
Sightseeing tours in any of the country’s major cities are ten-a-penny. However this sightseeing tour of London offers you something else, something far different to all of the other tours you could take, and something you are going to remember for a very long time. A ‘Duck Tour’ encompasses the city streets and the River [...]
The Cartoon Museum
The quirky Cartoon Museum opened in London in 2006. Packed with British comic strips and cartoons it features a little bit of everything, including some incredible caricatures from the 18th century right up to modern publications like the Beano and the Dandy. You may have walked past it on your way to the British Museum [...]
Tin Pan Alley
In the area of London historically known as St Giles, lies Denmark Street. Built in 1687 and named after George, Prince of Denmark it became home to a pioneering industry of printers and publishers who created what were known as ‘broadsides’, these were ballad sheets that were distributed far outside of the city’s boundaries. There [...]
Discover Highgate Cemetery
Situated within the London Boroughs of Camden, Islington and Haringey, Highgate Cemetery nestles silently within its lush woodland surroundings, whilst the hustle and bustle of city life carries on unnoticed outside its walls. Perhaps not one of the major tourist attractions within the city, it is at the very least one of the most atmospheric. [...]
