THINGS TO DO IN LONDON: FUN ACTIVITIES TO ENGAGE IN!

There are so many fun things to do in London, and if you love to travel, you will marvel at all that this city has to offer. Prior to taking your tour, you would need to carry out a search of some of the places you would need to visit prior to the tour. This is key because it allows you to create a budget that you will adhere to. As a general guide, it is best to overestimate the budget so that you have an allowance to cater for unexpected charges. Once this is out of the way, you can get to enjoy the numerous things to do in London. Some of the activities that you can indulge in include: the discovery of Shakespeare’s haunts, going on a Jack the ripper tour, or simply a harry porter studio tour. If this does not feel like the kind of tour, how about your favorite celebrity tour to get a glimpse of stardom? Below are two fun things to do in London.

Jack The Ripper TourGet spooked by Jack the ripper tour when you decide to take a walking tour through London. Alison tours will prepare you to have one of the best tours, albeit spooky. Having a little background knowledge about this kind of tour will prepare you for what to expect. The story behind this tour revolves around stories of mysterious murders in Whitechapel, stories which have remained unsolved to-date. It certainly is one of the most intriguing tales you will ever hear, making for a very fascinating tour. 

It is believed that in the wee hours of the morning of 31st August in the year 1888, a man was seen walking to work down the gas-lit lanes of Whitechapel. He then spots a lifeless form on the ground, and curiously seeks to find out what the mass was. He was astounded to discover the gruesome murder of a harlot from East End, and this sparked off one of the most intense and perhaps the longest search for the person responsible for the murder. Granted, the name ‘Jack the ripper’ is the best reference given to this unknown serial killer. The name can be traced back to mail written by an individual who claimed to take responsibility for the numerous murders around Whitechapel district within the same period of time. It is thought that this mail was a hoax, but it created interest in the mystery.

This short history forms the basis of the tour. One step after another in the alleys of Whitechapel will take you back in time to allow you walk in the footsteps of one of the world’s most elusive murderers. Every day, tours taken in this part of London seek to tell a tale about crimes committed by Ripper. The tours are incomplete without the presence of certified guides. The guides make the tour both fun and educative so that you get the best out of your time in London. With excellent communication skills, this truly is the walking tour of a lifetime, and easily one of the things to do in London. 

Harry porter studio tour
Just as the name suggests, the Harry porter studio tour will take you through various sections of the Harry Porter studio to allow you a sneak peek into the processes that go on behind the scenes. Harry Porter is, without a doubt, one of the most successful films in recent times, and what better way to live this part of London than by taking such a tour? There are a number of attractions for you to see while on tour of the studio. And they include Dumbledore’s office, the Great Hall, the ministry of Magic as well as the famous Harry Porter cupboard located below the stairs. It is also impossible to tour the Harry Porter Studio and not make mention of the Weasley kitchen, the Hogwarts bridge as well as the office that belongs to Professor Umbridge. Do you want to find out what all these places are about and how filming took place? Book a ticket for the Harry porter studio tour well in advance.
If you would like to find out more about different locations where the Harry Porter film was on location, you could choose to visit other places where shooting of the film took place. Of course this will take you to the outdoors where you could also get to sample the lush outdoors of London. Walking tours are among some of the amazing things to do in London.
In the end, there is so much to experience in this mega city, which you may want to extend your trip when it comes to an end. Take memoirs with you to remind you of the fun you had in London, after all, you only live once (as they say)!
