- Ride a double-decker bus
You can ride double-decker Routemaster buses along two historical roads: routes No. 9 (from Kensington to Trafalgar Square) and No. 15 (from Tower Hill to Trafalgar Square). Buses run in the daytime. The fare is as in ordinary urban transport.
- Buy an umbrella at James Smith & Sons
James Smith & Sons is the oldest umbrella shop in Europe. The design of the windows and the interior are almost untouched by time. It sells elegant umbrellas for men and women, as well as canes for £30. In the store hangs a portrait of Jonas Hanaway – the first Londoner, who began to use the umbrella.
- Visit the Anatomical theater
At this place 150 years ago, operations were carried out in primitive ways without anesthesia, and most often patients died. Guides tell terrible stories about how experienced surgeons of the nineteenth century amputated legs with a knife. The museum contains original instruments for trepanning and amputations, as well as human organs “marinated” in formaldehyde, including lungs blackened by London smog. The cost of the excursion is £ 5.90
- Stay up late at one of the London museums
Some major museums and galleries in London are open during the hours when the excursions are already over. There are bars, performing guest DJs and various events right there. Such opportunities are available at the Museum of Science, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of Natural History.
- Watch how the Tower Bridge is raised
Tower Bridge is raised about 1,000 times a year, but these events are not subject of a strict schedule – it all depends on when the ships are sailed. The exact time can be found on TowerBridge.org.uk, dedicated to the bridge.
Finally, you can afford to do nothing, just relax, and walk through the streets of London. Perhaps something else will catch your eye because the British capital is full of amazing places.
