Top Things To Do In London England - listings 36 to 40

36 (37) London Dungeon

The bright and breezy London Dungeon makes for a pleasant day out with your granny (not!). If you love your horror movies this is for you.

Be afraid, be very afraid, well more entertained really but you gotta go with the flow of bodily fluids. Live actors, dead things, shows, rides and special effects will make you smile, if that's what you are in to.

Everything that you see is based on real reconstructed and reinterpreted historical events that may have occurred. Jack the Ripper, Great Fire of London, torture, plague, joy joy how could you not go.

37 (47) Royal Gun Salutes

The universal custom of pointing ones gun in the air and having a bang. The British go through the whole pointless display of firepower with more pageantry than most.

38 Take a Bath in Bath

We English prefer to bathe rather than shower but only on a Saturday after the football. It is an institution that deserves its place in all our washrooms. Whilst in Rome they say so why not take a bath in a Roman bath in Bath whilst in England.

The World Heritage Baths of Bath

Bath is England. Lovely old buildings, hot springs and beautiful surrounding countryside you feel like you are in England in Bath. England history is full of visitors and you’ll find Roman Baths in Bath as you would expect. The Roman Bath's is how Bath became known as Bath which goes to show that Bath is really Italian.

Enjoy and experience the splendour of the Abbey and Georgian stone crescents and know this green and pleasant land is a nation at peace with itself and all it's friends and relatives except for Australia who have beaten them too many times with a cricket bat and then eat Pizza.

Bath is just over 100 miles west of London, it is beautiful, it is gorgeous and you must go there for the best time you'll ever have having a bath in Bath.

39 Visit the residence of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson presumably would turn in their graves if they had them. You don’t need to be a Sherlock to work out that this is a myth.

I jest, of course its all true, visit The World's Most Famous address - 221b BAKER STREET - the Official Home of Sherlock Holmes! Says the website –but hang on –he doesn’t exist – this was a fictional character! If you are a fan and well read you would know he does exist. Certainly the Sherlock Holmes had substance to it so let's move on to 221b Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived happily together, nod, nod, wink, wink, say no more at 221b Baker Street between 1881-1904, the house was last used as a lodging house in 1936 and the famous 1st floor study overlooking Baker Street is still faithfully maintained as it was kept in Victorian Times.

40 Stonehenge

Stonehenge dates back to 3000BC. The latest upgrade is a mere 3500 years ago. Much is known about how it was built but the why is more of a mystery. Apart from being an obvious landing site for UFOs, druid get-to-gethers, summer solstices, BBQs and pajama parties no one really knows.

It would be great it Stonehenge was tucked away in a quiet corner of England but it isn’t. Probably issues with planning permission. Anyway, the A303 provides an interesting contrast between the modern and ancient but more importantly makes Stonehenge easy to get to.
