Living in a big city has many advantages but the sheer volume of unique things to do is one of the major bonuses. London is Europe\u2019s fourth-largest city with a population of nearly nine million. As a major travel hub, London is home to an incredible diversity of ethnicities and has become a global melting pot. With such variety and opportunity come endless activities to fill your days with.<\/p>\n

As a Brit who lived in London for many years, I’ve had ample time to explore all the things there are to do in and around London. From boating the River Thames, world-class theatres, unique bars, white-water rafting, skiing, a cheese conveyor belt – there is something for everyone in London.<\/p>\n

Here’s my local’s list of some of the best and most unique things to do in London!<\/p>\n

1) Rent A Mini Cooper For A Customized Sightseeing Tour With Small Car Big City<\/h2>\n

Why share a crowded hop-on hop-off bus with strangers if you can explore the city in your own stylish Mini Cooper? Small Car Big City<\/a> rents these quirky cars for your London adventures and provides a knowledgeable city insider – on your own schedule.<\/p>\n

2) Marvel At London\u2019s Best Views From Sky Garden<\/h2>\n
