Top Things To Do In London England - listings 91 to 100
91 (56) Gig
Never be too old, too young or too its not me to have a good time.
92 (57) Giggle toons
At the Cartoon Museum in Bloomsbury just goes to prove that they don’t
draw ‘em like they used to.
93 Temple Church
Built for the Knights Templar in the 13th century the Temple Church is
one of the few surviving circular churches in England.
94 Banqueting House
The Banqueting House highlight is its Rubens ceiling. Of interest is
the 'Undercroft' where James 1st had some time out with his favourite
courtiers. You can also see the scaffold where King Charles 1st hung out.
So, just like Charles in a way, you won’t just end up with a sore
neck from looking at the ceiling..
95 Downing Street
No. 10 Downing Street often home to some of the most unpopular people
in Britain yet strangely, so many want the job. We are talking of the
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Downing Street is fairly nondescript
place but just feel the power.
96 (48) Coram’s Fields
Let your monsters run riot. All adults have to be accompanied by a child
at this park which boasts sandpits, a football pitch, basketball court,
climbing frames and café plus several sheep, goats and rabbits.
97 (53) Watch a puppet show at the Little Angel Theatre
Take some time to enjoy the underrated entertainment medium of Puppetry
and you won’t be disappointed. Feel the magic of the art pull you
in to a jerky world full of strings – just like the real thing really.
98 (28) Harrods
Harrods has always scared me a little. I always felt I'd be ejected,
made bankrupt or both.
The mission, should I choose to accept it, was to spend a little, no
mean feat - or maybe it is - anyway, buy something 'cheap' and exit with
the prized Harrod's bag.
These days they welcome every $ or £ carrying personage, even me.
99 (26) Covent Garden
Jubilee market and Covent Garden
Magic, comedy and song and that’s just the stall holders :-)
Covent Garden is a magnet for tourists, locals and office workers alike.
Enjoy the interesting if not entertaining street entertainers, market
stalls, boutique and unique shops down old, occasionally, cobbled streets,
the obligatory window shopping - oh to be rich, cafes, restaurants and
the ok Punch and Judy pub.
Covent Garden's vibrant atmosphere sucks the crowds in - but no one ever
seems to leave.
Wonder around the Jubilee Market, Neal Street, check out the street performances
in the piazza then park yourself somewhere for lunch and people watch
and enjoy not having to do anything to earn your chardonnay or pint.
100 (67) King of the Castle
Forget the greasy pole, try a London wall, not the London Wall but not
any London Wall either. London has no mountain but a climbing centre can
be yours.
