Flying a Fighter Jet
Flying a jet is a dream come true for many. Do you want to be a Royal Air Force Pilot? Won’t that be so cool! Are you kidding me? How can I fly a royal fighter jet?
Well, this is one of the best budget-friendly things you can do in London. You will get to fly in front of the royals. But of course, you can’t do that without training or knowledge about flying a fighter plane.
You can do just that and avoid all the dangers associated with it. The Science Museum has arranged a Typhoon Force simulator to allow you to fly a fighter jet like a true professional.
Drinking as if You are in Taipei
The steamed buns by Bao might get all the score, but the drinks in the Taiwan joints are truly gems that stay under the radar. Imagine drinking peanut-milk bubble tea and chewing on pearls with ice cream.
Chuckle for Free
It’s time for a comedy show. Get yourself entertained with The Bill Murray comedy show. You will have to come here nice and early to get your seat and if it tickles you funny, then bring in some cash to chuck in those buckets.
Unwinding Some Fish
The London Aquarium is pretty buggy, and it also features a shark pool. But the Horniman Museum’s Aquarium has a more modest space and still can take you on a fantastic journey through the oceans and rivers around the world.
Soaring Right Above the Thames
The city cable car is an impractical rival of the pedestrian walks for getting around by bus, tube rail, or walking. It will provide you with some beautiful views of the river on that gently swinging gondola. It’s pretty exquisite, and it will make your trip to London one of the most memorable ones.
Getting in a Canoe
Are you fond of kayaking? Did you know canoeing and kayaking in the coastal regions is a pretty fun thing to do in London? You’ll surely love the mesmerizing surroundings while kayaking.
And if you don’t know that spirit, you can learn that too in this city. You can quickly get to know about different ways to paddle the kayak.
Digging Dumplings
Have you tasted the local street food in London? If not, you can do it now and it will be fun. You can treat yourself to these dumplings at Jen Cafe, where you will be provided with a plate that contains seven sticky Beijing-style dumplings that feature chive and minced meat. And if you can pay an extra quid, you can get them fired. That’s a nice way to tickle your taste buds in London.
Relaxing in a Lofty Garden
Traveling is not all about roaming and seeing new things. Sometimes you have to get relaxed to enjoy your trip fully. Take a walk in the park. How does that sound?
You will come out into a garden if you can get the lift right to the top of the Walkie Talkie. This garden has some spectacular views of the city. You will see Tower Bridge, Wembley Stadium, The Shard, etc. You can enjoy the lush greens and succulents of the city and see the natural side of London.
Get Adventurous with Your Hair
New hairdressers at the Toni & Guy Academy always need models to practice their coloring and cutting skills. Of course, you will have to be adventurous with all this but why not try a few new looks and you might find something exciting, who knows!
Eating Dhal-Dipped Rotis
It’s not a secret that the Malaysian joint in the basement Roti King is a special comfort food option. Its lunchtime queues are long. You will get a couple of pieces of flaky flatbread and a pot with moreish dhal, and you will feel that taste that is out of this world. It’s so simple yet so effective.
