Walk in the canopy in the arboretum, climb the Great Pagoda for unencumbered views and visit the stunning greenhouses to see plants from all over the world.
Climb Aboard the Cutty Sark
The Cutty Sark is one of the best museums in the city- and that’s saying something.

No where in the world will you find a more comprehensive and stunning collection- from the Homo-Sapiens, to ancient Greece, to the normans- it’s all here.
Chow Down at Borough Market
Borough Market has existed, in some form or another, in the same place for an estimated 1,000 years.
Currently, it’s one of the best places in the city to get a delicious lunch- but you can also get gloriously fresh groceries, artisanal bread, stunning coffee and incredible delicatessen products. It is truly a foodie’s heaven.
Van Gogh: The immersive Experience
Arguably the most famous and influential artist of all time can now be enjoyed in an entirely new way.
This exhibition looks at the tragic life of the artist who changed the world, and allows you to step into his stunning creations- art exhibits will never be the same after this.
Ride the London Eye
The London Eye originally opened as a temporary attraction for the city, but it was immediately insanely popular.
