Experience Days in Central London

When it comes to exciting days out, the nation’s capital has it all! From the Houses of Parliament to the West End, Central London is home to a huge range of thrilling activities and experience gifts to suit couples, families, and friends. 

For an adventurous, rip-roaring day out in London, a thrilling boat ride on a RIB speedboat is a fantastic way to see the iconic River Thames. Setting off from Tower Pier, you’ll whizz past HMS Belfast and the infamous Tower of London. 

For lovers of spooky stories, London is a city with more than its fair share of ghostly tales and dark deeds. Join a refurbished ‘coffin coach’ for a ghost tour of London like no other, and hear spooky tales of the city’s grisly past. It’s the perfect experience gift for lovers of the macabre and those who enjoy a good scare. 

For a unique panorama over the city, and beyond, a view from the Shard is unforgettable. At a height of 800ft, the Shard observation deck offers the highest views in the country, with a vista stretching 40 miles into the distance. Or for a gentler way to take in the sights, an afternoon tea cruise along the River Thames is the perfect experience gift for mums and dads. Nibble sandwiches and cakes as you cruise past the famous London sights, including the London Eye and Tower Bridge. 

London is home to perhaps the most famous transport system in the world, the London Underground, with eleven lines serving 272 stations. For the ultimate way to explore the Tube, a brilliantly fun Underground Treasure Hunt pits teams against each other to solve clues and be the first to find the prize.

No visit to London would be complete without a taste of the famous British invention, Afternoon Tea. Treat a friend to a sophisticated and elegant Afternoon Tea at a luxurious London hotel to sample sandwiches, savouries, scones, and cakes that are almost too beautiful to eat (almost but not quite!). Or, if you fancy more exotic flavours, join a local foodie for an Indian food tour of Central London including delicious madras, pathia and naan in Brick Lane. 

London’s West End is home to the greatest stage shows in the world. From musicals to comedies to thrillers, a London theatre show is a ticket to another world. Combine a two-course dinner and a show for an experience gift that is perfect to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.
