Published last week is a rather useful piece on the Time Out London website, where they provide ideas of various things to see and do in London across a range of areas such as dining, shopping, cultural highlights and museums, entitled ‘101 Things To Do In London‘ (you’ll notice a button linking to it on the right side of the blog).
Why am I talking about it on my blog? Well as part of this piece they picked out ten London bloggers to each contribute ten unusual ideas that would take visitors to places a little of the beaten track – and one of those bloggers was me! If you go to the ‘Bloggers’ Picks‘ tab, you can see my suggestions (which include Abney Park Cemetery over in Stoke Newington, my local theatre – the Theatre Royal Stratford East and my favourite local eatery, Londek) as well as suggestions from several of my contemporaries such as Cate Sevilla, London Is Cool, Tiki Chris and the boys and girls from the Londonist.
If you’re struggling to think of something new and interesting to do in London cast your eye over this article for some great ideas. You can also contribute your own suggestions on Facebook, or on Twitter using the hashtag #ultimatelondon.

It's a good piece and I'm proud of my contribution – most of what's mentioned will take you to some rather unusual places, ones that no tourist has ever set foot in. You'll get a much better feel for what London is like for a Londoner
After all, anything's better than going around and around on the London Eye…

Plenty of options in that 101 list to keep me busy over the coming weeks and months. I agree with tourists visiting some of the more obscure places, but I also feel more Londoners maybe need to go and experience some of the well known places such as those in Greenwich. The amount of Londoners I have spoken to who have never even been to the Royal Observatory or the Maritime Museum is unbelievable.
