10 Weird Things to Do in London

10 weird attractions in London. As a huge tourist destination, London has a range of unique things to do, and many of them are quite WEIRD! If you are looking for something off the beaten tourist path in London this video is for you! Some of the unique and weird attractions in London include: 1) The London Nose at the Admiralty Arch by Trafalgar Square.
2 - London's Smallest Police Station
- So small it could only hold 2 officers!
3 - The Old Operating Theatre Museum
- Hidden away in the attic of a church near Tower Bridge
4 - Wellcome Collection
A "free visitor destination for the incurably curious", the Wellcome Collection boasts a raft of weird objects, including an ancient mummy, Napoleon's toothbrush, Darwin's walking stick, and a DNA sequencing robot.
5 - Grant Museum of Zoology
This zoological museum, the only one of its kind in London, is full of display cases stuffed to the gunnels with animal skeletons, taxidermy specimens and creatures preserved in fluid.

6 - Sleep with Lions at the Gir Lion Lodge at the London Zoo
- This hotel in INSIDE the London Zoo -- sleep NEAR (not with) the Lions.

7 - Sir John Soane's Museum
When he wasn’t designing notable buildings (among them the original Bank of England), Sir John Soane (1753-1837) obsessively collected art, furniture and architectural ornamentation... and this is his house, now a museum.

9 - Tate Modern
- I'm sure I'll get some hate mail from modern art fans on this one... but visit Tate Modern for some weird art.

10 - London Loo Tours
London's best and only public lavatory-themed walking tour.

I used to live in London, and haven’t been back in many years. But having watched a few of your awesome videos, I am seriously missing London and will visit next year. Thank you so much for taking your precious time to upload your interesting information. Keep up the great work 👍

Funny video. Thought I knew it all. Man, you did some serious homework to find out all this trivia!
I’m from London, born and bred and even learnt stuff from this video!
Nicely done!

I loved Wallace collection. A bit quirky, but super interesting.
Great suggestions. I only have one tiny comment - you made a mistake saying Grant Museum of Zoology is run by University of Central London. Such thing does not exist. Museum is run by the UCL aka University College London. ;) Sorry, but as a former UCL student I had to point that out. ;)

interesting, thanks. keep them coming!

Great video some wonderful places I have never heard of. You can stay overnight at Taronga zoo in Sydney Australia . You can go Glamping and they take you on a tour of the zoo by night.

Def. do the Loo Tour! We did it in August, with Amber Loo, and it was absolutely great; a South Bank walk, a lot of the history of London's sewage and the Thames, and never a full bladder to worry about because we always were heading to or from a (usually very clean) bathroom.

[scottman]

Those are some weird things! I've never seen or heard of any of these. We have the London Eye and also the London Nose. I wonder if they'll build another London Eye in Hyde Park?

[mrcellophane]

Is the University of Central London anywhere near University College London ?

[mrcellophane]

The Bank of London ? I'll have to have a look round that !!
and Admirality Arch.

[doyoumind]

Is visiting cemetries weird ? Try getting the bus to Old Street roundabout then two minute walk south to Bunhill Field Cemetry. Some famous names buried there, William Blake and Daniel Defoe. And, yes, the place feels old.

6:11 okay cyberdog was offended. Just kidding lol!

As a Londoner I can tell you there are lots of weird buildings and museums but one you can try but follow the the rules at this one, it's called Dennis Sever's house, . The late Mr Sever took on an old house and laid it out to look like the inhabitants had just left the room.
