Combovers Things To Do Before You're Bald

Laaaaaandun’

So the Royal Weddings all done with, the buntings come down and the celebrities have gone to, well, celebrate. The Royal Newly-Weds are off on their honeymoon and the party-atmosphere dissolves as busy-London wakes up from its sojourn. So now is the time for all those weekend-trippers who came down for the nuptials to explore one of the grandest cities on earth. London is packed full of things to do, some free, some...not-so-free. So here’s a few idea’s for anyone visiting the Heart of Oak that is London.

The Imperial War Museum never fails to impress and a Nation with such an expansive military record has plenty of piece, replicas and changing exhibits to delight your little soldiers (and the child inside). Stirring and moving pieces such as the Holocaust exhibition serve to reign us in and remind us what the price to pay for conflict is.

The London Eye is rather recent for the ancient city but has quickly made its mark and is now a unique and natural addition to the skyline. Trips on the Eye take 30 minutes and tickets cost around 15 quid.

No trip to London is complete without visiting the Natural History Museum, this place is epic. It’s vaults contain millions upon millions of specimens collected by the greatest scientists to ever live. It’s Mammals exhibit peaks with its full-size replica of a Humpback whale, alongside its real-skeleton. Anyone can easily spend a few hours touring the hallowed halls and best of all, its completely free! Take a few hours and go visit the multitudes of dinosaur skeletons, stuffed whales and glimpses into the life of Early-man.

A great way to see the city is by river, the Thames used to be the lifeblood of the city and you can examine its past and present in the wonderful architecture of the waterfront buildings. Get a new perspective of the landmarks as you cruise past, see the infamous MI6 building and go under Tower Bridge. River cruises are a relaxing way to enjoy the city, you can sit-back, relax and enjoy a drink or even a meal. Covered cruisers protect you from the sometimes disagreeable British weather and meet all safety-requirements.

From the aerial-view from the Eye, go and see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben on the street. Home to the real power in Great Britain and target of the infamous Gunpowder plot, whether you like or loathe politicians they don’t half-have a nice crib. Beautiful architecture, murals, statues and the kind of excess we’ve come to expect of our power-players, Parliament is gorgeous. Tour the chambers, watch a debate or climb the clock-tower and see the big guy, Big Ben (who is a bell, not the tower).

Walk around Regent Park with its topiary bushes, fountains and modern-art installations. Enjoy the gardens in bloom, catch a concert at the auditorium or hire a boat on the lake. Or just laze about, whatever, just enjoy the change of pace in this green-space amidst the chaos.

Westminster Abbey, site of the Royal Wedding, so if you, like me watched in on TV, you must’ve seen how wonderful it looks inside, so why not pay a small price (that goes towards keeping the old girl in good nick) and take a tour, see that altar and choir stands for yourself. It’s a Grand old building and one of those typical reminders of just how glorious Britain is.

And there’s plenty more where that came from but I have a life to get on with.....so visit
