It's a little known truth that the guards at Buckingham Palace (other than having to be very tidy faced) are officially obliged to give you a Werther's Original upon request.

Can make you appear extremely knowledgable if you do this in front of a tourist who doesn't realize this!

famous person Spotting in London is a enjoyable hobby, but the first and only rule is DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM OR POINT, it's rude plus intrudes on their day, and then we won't get to see them again.

Boy George hangs out at Cargo in Shoreditch relatively frequently for example. Go out and hang around the pubs and clubs and see how many celebs you can spot in one night.

Each celeb has a card punching tool which verifies you have seen them. Ask courteously when they're not occupied and they'll punch a tag for you. Once you have a card with ten punches on, the City of London police will let you have a go on their taser shooter (in the safety of their instruction course).

I tasered an owl out of a tree on my go, and it was fucking hilarious.

session in my front room, playing Dark Souls for 13 hours at once while eating a whole package of Screwballs out of the freezer.
Dude how much are tickets

Keep it to yourself, however you can get a free cocktail at the bar at the top of the OXO tower if you bring ten wrappers from OXO cubes with you. OXO cubes are roughly £3 a pack and are useful in cooking anyway; everyone's a winner!

You get a unique cocktail depending on the wrapper style - beef is different to vegetable stock for example. They rotate these choices weekly however they're all pretty cheap cocktails, don't be expecting too much.

Your replies give me a smirk at work.

There's a top secret mode on most Oyster Top-Up machines. Not the ones on National Rail stations which also vend rail tickets - only the ones London Underground operate, which comprise the blue preliminary screen and are always flat at the front.

If you swipe your card, select Up, Cash then hold your card on the reader for 15+ seconds, it will unlock a small game of pong which plays for 30 seconds. You tap the screen's top or bottom corners to move the row up and down.

If there's another individual on the network, you'll be paired alongside them. If you're the only one on the system playing at the time, you'll play against simple A.I.

Your high-score is recorded on your Oyster card when you discharge after the game. One game won = 10 points. 100 points can be redeemed for £1 off any fare.

Don't do this when there's a line though for fucks sake, one and all will hate you.

is that legit??

Yes -- I've done it for myself - it was told to me via one of the engineers from Gemalto who helped make the swipe cards for Oyster

Stay sober then ride the 94 bus from Trafalgar to Chiswick at about 2am on a Saturday. It's perhaps one of the most entertaining experiences that I have ever had.

Wear a raincoat.
