Well it’s been a whole week since Chantelle became a Londoner!! (How’s that accent coming along Chan?). And as such, an end to our week of Blogging fever - thanks for joining us!! We’ll now be back to more regular schedule of not-so-regular blogging ;)
We thought it would be great to get together a list of London To-do’s, and as we are lucky enough to have some family and friends in the area we asked a couple of them to share their favourite things to do around town. So without further ado, here are some things to explore in London, from a couple of our favourite Londoners Sarah and Pam (thanks heaps lovelies!)…
(side note: I’m one of those people who walks out of the cinema after watching the a Bond film with a slight swagger, pretty convinced that I would make a totally brilliant, butt-kicking spy (let’s not shatter the dream right now with my gift of clumsiness or can’t-kill-an-ant-without-feeling-guilty personality, ok?). So speeding down the Thames with theme music blaring would probably have me very delusionally happy…)

"Hyde Park - you can walk it, take your skates or even hire a Boris bike or pedalo or simply just people watch very interesting characters in London" - Pam

(H - kicking myself we never made it here. Chan - buy me something brilliant ok?)

For the kids: “We've now started going to the Hammersmith box track. It's really family friendly, they have striders (balance bikes) for the little kids & bmx's for the older kids including adults. Phil & Sean are really helpful teaching the kids!” - Sarah Check out their Facebook page

“Take a boat trip on the river Thames called the Rib Experience it is a speedboat with English film theme tunes and goes very fast!” - Pam

For a change of cuisine, head to the Big Easy - “We went to the Big Easy on a date night & ate so much we were home in bed by 10pm...” - Sarah

And after all that, a bit of pampering is probably due. The Menana spa in Chiswick, with it’s Moroccan Hammam experience sounds dreamy - from Sarah
“Have lunch/dinner in The Shard - it has amazing views over London as it's the tallest building but the food is also fine dining too.” - Pam

Edit - Chantelle - Oh hi! Being here myself I have already picked up a few tips!...

Meat is expensive in London so when you find somewhere like this it's a god send! Flat Iron is a steak house which only offers exactly that! And it's delicious! They have 2 locations in town which are close to the tube!
The Borough Market - food food and more food! This place is a must visit! The culture, the location, the people !! The London bridge area feels like old town London, with rail bridges, small old buildings and small streets to walk down. Take an adventure on this side of town and explore the market. I guarantee you will leave smiling with a very full belly and plenty of goodies in hand!

Oh, and if you are looking for any more ideas, the Timeout site has plenty of London going-ons and places to visit (thanks to Cozi for that one!)
