London
is a capital city so has plenty to offer in terms of things to do in the
daytime and of course at night. There are naturally many pubs, bars and clubs
to head to for a night out in the capital, but there is so much more to see and
do than that. A great way of seeing London at its best in the evening is to
have a leisurely walk along the Thames. A superb place to head to is the South
Bank area that also has many restaurants and cafes along the water. A top
attraction to visit is the London Eye that is a fantastic way to admire the
city’s twinkling lights. Guests can actually buy a day and night ticket that
allows them to take the ride twice in one day.
There
are plenty of museums that offer night passes into the buildings including the
excellent Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. Another great option is
London Zoo that has many species of animal, reptiles and birds that are
fascinating to see. This venue holds London Zoo late events specifically for
adults where there can often be comedy and cabaret, as well as street food.
Seeing a show in the West End is also a wonderful way to spend an evening as
there are a number of award-winning and critically-acclaimed musicals and plays
on offer. There are also plenty of discount tickets available to travellers who
want to save some money.
A
great way to see London is on a walking tour of the city and one of the most
exciting and equally frightening ones is the Jack the Ripper tour. This takes
tourists along dimly-lit Victorian alleyways telling the story of one of the
capital’s most notorious criminals. A very interesting thing to do is head to the
amazing Tower of London that hosts the historic Ceremony of the Keys event that
is more than a century old. This is when the tower is officially locked for the
night and includes music and great theatre. This great event is free but very
popular so booking ahead online is absolutely necessary to get in and
experience this unique occasion.
London
is full of fabulous music venues and the beauty of the capital is that there
are places for every type of fan. There are pop and rock venues or smaller jazz
cafes to spend the evening with fellow travelling companions. Camden in north
London is a superb destination for music and has a number of venues including
the Roundhouse and Koko that are regularly visited by many famous musicians.
This vibrant city is an impressive place to venture into at night, and there
are also numerous restaurants and cafes that serve the best food and drink in
the country.
Tourists
heading out at night will want to be staying in an accommodation that is close
to the centre of the city. The Astors Hotel Victoria is a superb destination that is ideal for tourists who want
to easily get around to various attractions and landmarks. The fantastic
residence is on a tree-lined street near Victoria underground station that also
has overground trains linking to the rest of the country. The air-conditioned
designer bedrooms at this accommodation have numerous modern features including
a telephone, flatscreen television and Wi-Fi internet.
