London off the beaten path things to do! Ideas please Post Reply

[Mtc00]

As I start my new job, I have a couple of weeks off and between school and husband's job, only I am able to take it off! So I'd like to get to know London better! We've moved here two years ago but haven't quite discovered it as I have my previous city!

Any ideas on top unique things to do in London! Not necessarily touristy - as I've done the key spots - but anything off the beaten path! Thank you!

Oh - there are loads of things to see! But a few ideas for you :

The Chelsea Physic Garden : http://chelseaphysicgarden.co.uk/

The Geffrye Museum in Hoxton (easy to get to on London Overground from Clapham Junction) : https://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/

Sir John Soane's Museum in Holborn : http://www.soane.org/

Depends what you're into and enjoy but I love being by the river and used to love running along the tow path when I lived in Putney or walking across one of the bridges to Hammersmith and beyond stopping for lunch or a drink on the way.

Secret London has lots of ideas of various hidden things such as disused tube station type things.

Hope you have fun!
