When you travel to a country, you look forward to new experiences. And apart from just travelling, every country offers something very unique and must-see spots that you should not miss. Likewise, today, I want to share with you 8 must-try experiences in London.

London has a lot to do, multiple places to visit, many things to try, and a lot of vegetarian food. But apart from food and everything, I would like you to try these unique experiences in London. This will make the most of your London trip truly special. So, let’s get started.

1. Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour

You should check out the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London. It’s a fantastic way to experience the magical world of Harry Potter. You’ll get there comfortably in an air-conditioned coach from central London. Once you’re there, you can explore the original sets, props, and costumes at your own pace. This tour includes round-trip transport and entrance tickets, so it’s perfect for families, book lovers, and, of course, Harry Potter fans.

2. River Thames Dinner/Sunset Cruise

I highly recommend taking a dinner or sunset cruise on the River Thames. It’s a beautiful way to see London’s skyline, including the Palace of Westminster, the Tower of London, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. You’ll be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine and then enjoy a delicious 4-course dinner as you sail past these iconic landmarks. There’s live music during the cruise, and you can even dance after dinner. It’s a truly memorable way to experience London.

3. View of London from The Shard

For breathtaking views, you have to visit The Shard. This is one of the best experiences in London. The 360-degree panoramic views from the open-air sky deck are stunning, both day and night. The design of the building itself is inspired by London’s churches and tall ships, and it’s just as impressive as the view. You’ll need a ticket to visit, and I recommend booking in advance to avoid missing out. You can also buy tickets on the day if they’re available.

4. Cheese Tasting Tour

If you love cheese, you should go on a cheese-tasting tour in London. You’ll spend the afternoon sampling a variety of delicious cheeses, from rich Stilton to Italian “drunk cheese.” There’s even a fun trivia quiz to test your cheese knowledge. You’ll visit some of London’s top cheesemongers, including the one where Winston Churchill bought his cheese, and explore the famous Fortnum & Mason department store.

You’ll visit London’s most magical spots, from filming locations to landmarks that inspired the settings in the movies and books. As you explore areas like Soho and Covent Garden, you’ll learn insider trivia, take a fun quiz to test your knowledge, and even get sorted into your Hogwarts house. There are several start times to fit your schedule, and you’ll see top sights like Borough Market and Trafalgar Square. It’s a great way to get to know the Harry Potter world.

6. 3-Hour British Secret Food Tour

For food lovers, the British Secret Food Tour around London Bridge is a must. You can enjoy classic British foods like award-winning fish and chips, world-famous sausage rolls, breakfast baps, and tasty treats from street vendors. You can also sample English cheeses paired with local beer or cider and finish with a classic British dessert. Plus, there’s a special Secret Dish you’ll only discover on the day. This tour will change your mind about British food, showcasing the delicious variety found in this historic city.

7. Beer Bike Tour 

The beer bike tour is a fun way to see London with friends. Pedal around the city on a unique bike that accommodates up to four people, with a guide steering and sharing interesting facts about London’s history, culture, and architecture. You can sip unlimited sangria, beer, and soft drinks as you ride, listen to music, and enjoy the commentary. It’s a lively and enjoyable way to explore the city.

For some thrill, try the Tottenham Stadium SkyWalk Experience. You’ll start at the Dare Skywalk Basecamp for a safety briefing and gear up before climbing to the stadium’s iconic golden cockerel. Once you reach the skywalk, you’ll be 46.8 metres above the football pitch, with breathtaking views. A professional photographer will capture the moment at the summit. After the climb, you can browse the Tottenham Experience Shop for souvenirs. It’s an adrenaline-pumping adventure and a unique way to see London.
