Top Things To Do In London England - listing 21 to 25

21 (73) Victoria and Albert Museum

Containing one of the world's most extensive art collections the Victoria and Albert Museum is a must see.

The Victoria and Albert museum appears to prefer to be known as the V&A. Presumably like Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) it has worked out we like catchy cool names. No museum likes to appear stuffy.

The V&A claims to be the ‘the world's greatest museum of art and design’. With examples of 3000 years of dead peoples stuff there is certainly a lot to see.

22 (17) Regent's Canal

You can barge your way onto a crowded tube or adopt a more civilised approach to see London and its wildlife. You can barge your way from Camden Market to Little Venice, via a stop for London Zoo (Regents Park) or vice a versa in less than an hour. If you intend to 'do the zoo' leave yourself plenty of time.

Get a little spooked but not stuck in the dark 250 metres long Maida Vale Tunnel, ponder at the ridiculous cost of housing by Regents Park and see poet and play write Robert Browning's island Brownings Island.

23 (18) London Zoo

London Zoo new tropical "bird house" is a miniature rainforest in the Blackburn Pavilion home to eventually 50 species of exotic birds.

Star of the show will be the tiny Amazilia hummingbirds which the zoo claims are the only ones in the UK.

In common with most of the world's top zoos bars are on the way out. The birds will be free to poo wherever they want.

"It's a chance for people to get very close to birds, to share their environment, and there are some amazing (Amazila?) birds in there. We hope visitors will be drawn in to the wonder of the avian world." says the zoo.

24 (108) Green Park

A natural green space. Beautiful spot, popular with joggers and spring daffodils.

Green Park gets overlooked in comparison to some of London's other parks as it sits between St. James's Park and Hyde Park, but it's a wonderful space just off Piccadilly with plenty of room to appreciate the great views and monuments.

25 (8) London Eye

The London Eye. The great big wheel opposite the Houses of Parliament.

Good weather helps to make this worth queuing up for. Exactly. London isn’t Paris or New York. Thank the German air force and a history of lousy town planning. The skyline with St Paul's, House of Parliament and Big Ben is better than a poke in the eye with a dead fish but yeah.

There are also other ways to see London than in a bubble such as from the top of the Monument or St Paul's Cathedral.

If the sun is shining, you have the money and time and good book to read whilst queuing and nothing better to do. No its better than that but don’t expect the earth. Some sky, an interesting rather than spectacular skyline.
