Hey guys :wave:
I'm off to London for a few days soon with a friend and I was wondering if you guys know of anything fun to do?
I think we're going to go to the Ice Bar :hyper: but what else could we do? Preferably something affordable, or any particular places worth seeing?
I know it would be an obvious suggestion but I've decided against going to see a show.
We're both in our 20's if that makes a difference

Camden Beach is around until August 23rd and that has some free gigs and stuff. Camden in general can be quite a fun shopping spot, but like anywhere does get pretty busy.
There's also lots of rooftop cinema events going on until September. One example is the power of summer which looks pretty cool, which is in Battersea. Battersea power station is sadly going to get hauled over (I think maybe into flats/housing) so it would be a last chance to see a building that's pretty iconic. However, if you do like the idea of that, but want something a bit more central, there's also outdoor cinema in Holborn and other places if you google 'rooftop cinema london' you'll find them
In terms of the museums, there's always lots going on and plenty of freebies - as well as 'Museum lates' which are after hours events at places like London Zoo, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the V&A. It can be really fun going to a museum late at night as they tend to have special stuff going on - details are on their websites.
Hope that gives you a few ideas, but let us know if there's anything else you're particularly interested in - e.g. clubs/bars etc
I'm actually quite excited now.
Helen, I love the idea of the rooftop cinema event! I think that's going to be a definite. Loads of ideas there, will keep me very busy looking into all of that
Is there a particular bar you'd recommend? One that's quite a nice place but not too crowded or loud?
They've got cheap beer, and are oldy-worldy type pubs. You've got the John Snow in Soho, and the Chandos right next to Trafalgar Square and loads others, here's a map of all of the Sam Smith's in London. If it's not a Friday or Saturday night you're pretty much guaranteed a seat in those places, sometimes on a weekend too.
They're a chain, but have their roots in good pubs and places and have been around forever. It's not your Weatherspoons type place.
I'm mainly about all the green spaces in London so I'm not sure what else I can recommend!
