is subjective but for comparatively little money, you can attain two or more pedicabs and have them race between locations with your friend(s).

Oxford St to Victoria works well.

Make it clear to all pedicabs that the winner gets a £10 tip. Follow through on that.

Then merely sit back and take pleasure in a madcap dash through London.

You truly went to town on this subject - thanks for all the recommendation - I'm gunna try them all :)

Between 3am and 4am (usually, weather conditions permitting), the London Eye is put in to a self-cleaning sequence and rotates at around 6RPM. That doesn't sound like a lot, except that's one revolution every 10 seconds! It gets all the rain, dust, filth etc off, all the mud and so on ends up in the thames.

They don't permit you to ride it in this time, except slipping the cleaners (who aren't the normal ride operators) £20 will get you on one of the pods.

It's a hell of a rush although tbh only a matter of time until somebody gets hurt then they stop this.

Dammit, I was getting excited about this then saw it was you who posted.

Explain?

/u/cr3ative's additional suggestions in this thread I guess are a little fantastical.

Yeah, I noticed following scrolling the thread. Dammit, I was kind of excited regarding this one...

I'd love it if 1/2 of /r/London turned up there tonight waving £20 notes around asking for a ride.

Under the Breakfast Club

Just make sure it's the proper one. I've heard tales of folks asking about that in the wrong branch, only to stumble on a fridge full of food/drink.

Not for the observers who get a good giggle out of it.

Will be checking into this event that doesn't exist.

Hunterian museum is the best museum that no one knows about. Best to go there with no looking it up to begin with and let the contents be a surprise.
