7. Norman’s Coach & Horses
If there’s one thing you have to do while in London, it’s surely to have a drink at an authentic London pub – and there are plenty of those to choose from. One you really mustn’t miss, however, is Norman’s Coach & Horses in Soho, which combines a rich history spanning back to its beginnings in 1847 with contemporary progressiveness: it’s the first London pub to become entirely vegan and vegetarian. There’s the usual selection of ales and spirits, plus proper pub decor to set the scene; best of all, however, there’s a piano, which forms the center of a raucous, old time singalong every Wednesday and Saturday night from 7.30 -11.30pm.
8. Murder Miles Walks
Jack the Ripper tours have long been a popular way to delve into London’s past as home to one of the most grisly serial killers of all time, but if Whitechapel feels a bit passé then Murder Miles Walks are almost certain to satisfy your craving for the macabre and murderous. During the course of this two hour walk, which departs from Tottenham Court Rd station, you’ll be introduced to no fewer than 12 murderers and 75 deaths over 15 locations. Entertaining, engaging and informative, it’s been hailed as one of the the best guided walks in London – definitely one for fans of true crime.
