9. Street Art
Street art tours have proliferated in most major cities in recent years, but in London’s vibrant East End you can experience an extra shake of the spray can by combining your walk around the neighbourhood with a graffiti workshop. Some of the world’s best street art, by renowned artists like Bansky and Stik, is to be seen here – more than enough food for the inspiration you’ll need to create your own work of art at the session that follows. For an extra fee, you can even paint your piece on to a bag of shirt to take home.
10. CellarDoor
Catch a show at CellarDoor – in its previous incarnation as a public toilet, it was infamous for the gentlemen it attracted: think Wilde, Orton and Gielgud, at a time when homosexuality was yet to be decriminalized. It still has fantastically sexy toilets, as well as an extensive cocktail list, and live acts every night from about 8am to midnight. There’s no cover charge, but you’re expected to buy at least one drink. Book online to secure one of the handful of reserved seats; otherwise be prepared to stand.
