You can’t visit London without getting a feel of the artistic side of the city. In light of this, try going to Tate Modern which is where you’ll find the UK’s most important modern art collections in addition to London’s must-see exhibitions. It may excite you to know that entry to view the collections is free, but you do typically have to pay to view the exhibitions. This should help give you insight as well as knowledge about some of the most popular artists and creatives of the past and present. 

Go to the Theatre 

One of the things that London is famous for is the popular West End. As soon as you arrive there, you can feel the energy of the city buzzing in the air which can be both exciting and overwhelming. In the midst of all of the chaos, you will notice that there are theatres dotted around. If you’re visiting during the Christmas period, you should look for shows in December 2018 that you can attend so that you can get the full West End experience. If you want drama, you could watch Les Misérables whereas if you want a blast from the past, perhaps watch Disney’s the Lion King.

Stonehenge 

Another activity you can try next time in London is going to see the Stonehenge’s ancient stone circle which is something different from the usual tourist attractions. This historic site is over 5,000 years old and how and why it was built is still a mystery. However, it is easy to get to from London and is ideal if you want to take a day trip. 

London Zoo
