Doing London things you've never done

I've never been in Harrods, seen The Trooping of the Colour or eaten pie and mash.
And so it shall remain.
I have been to Harrods & eaten pie & mash (I'm an eastender bruv) never been interested in seeing The Trooping of the Colour.

I've also never been to Buckingham Palace (have walked past it tbf , but I have seen The Crown Jewels & the ravens at The Tower of London.
 
I have done cable car and London Eye. Mini Fire loved the cable car and keeps asking to go back.

Also done Trooping the color (after being up all night...), Shard, river trip (Horrible Histories), Battersea Power Station, Buckingham Palace (from the outside). Been up Tower Bridge, in the Tower of London and down to Churchill's bunker. * Sailed * in HMS Belfast, eaten in Borough Market. Also been up Monument, in the Greenwich Planetarium, crossed the timeline and explored the Cutty Sark. I've done some other stuff and will do more.

But I've never been to you.
 
To be fair I've done more stuff in three nights out in London with Spymaster than I did whilst living there for 3 years. It's all a bit bland by comparison even though I did a lot of London things when I lived there.

Fulham's the only ground I've not been to but then there's not much atmos there so it'll not make the bucket list. A pint with Badgers has escaped me.

Maybe some mud-larking on teh Thames. I've still got my eye on making it to a London urban event down the smoke. It would be nice to meet a few more of the cheeky Cocken-eyes :cool:
 
to add to my list...

i've also not done the shard or battersea power station

i have done bankside power station (tat modern) because someone i was having a day out with wanted to. i did have an unseemly fit of laughter at some of the stuff in there, but the cafe + view was quite good.

i've also not been up the monument and not sure i'd be up to that many stairs now. i did go up the tower at the salvation army place at denmark hill a couple of years back over open house weekend, and fortunately there was somewhere i could stop for a rest half way up. and the weather was shit



think i've done most of the stuff at greenwich (cutty sark might have been a day out from primary school but greenwich park was a pretty cheap day out when i was little, as it was not far on the 75 bus to the blackheath end.)

Maybe some mud-larking on teh Thames.

i think you need some sort of permit to do that.

I've still got my eye on making it to a London urban event down the smoke.

keep a watch on the 'community' thread - there's been a bit more activity this year
