London Top 80 Things To Do - listings 71 to 80

What to do in London?

71 (35) Oxford Street

All the big department stores, boutique shops and much more from Centre Point to Marble Arch.

72 (35) Thames Barrier Park

Uncompromisingly close the River Thames you will find the Thames Barrier Park by the north bank of the Thames and with great views of the Thames Barrier from the Thames Path which follows the River Thames until I really can’t think of more ways of including the word Thames in this sentence without getting very silly.

As well as barrier photo taking the Thames Barrier Park has room a plenty with lawns, trees and the different Yew and Maygreen hedges. The park also contains a well received children's play area, a fountain plaza, 5 a side football/basketball court, and is an all round jolly nice place so why not have a picnic (if its not raining of course). Take a walk to Green Dock in spring and summer and enjoy the flowers.

73 (54) Hyde park

Be mildly entertained by Speaker's Corner, seek out Marble Arch or just take your shoes off, lay down and find a friendly face in the clouds.

Hyde Park

74 (113) The Gherkin - 30 St Mary Axe

The Gherkin name comes from its somewhat phallic appearance. Other interesting names include the Erotic Gherkin, the Towering Innuendo, and the Crystal Phallus (also a pun on Crystal Palace). You get the idea.

75 (33) Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain

The concept is quite beautiful and charming. An impressive piece of landscaping. The park that contains the fountain is peaceful and attractive. Worth a visit if you are nearby and/or 'into' the Royals.

76 Chistlehurst Caves

The 8,000 year old Chistlehurst Caves are a labyrinth of dark mysterious caverns and passageways stretching for over 20 miles. The caves consist of a maze of mines originally carved out of the soil in the search for flint and chalk. Each section, Saxon, Druid and Roman are connected by adjoining passageways.
