Bingeable TV shows, movie hotspots and celebrity music videos inspire Brits to venture to less-known parts of the capital<\/b><\/h2>\n

Forget Big Ben and Oxford Street – there\u2019s a whole new side of London waiting to be explored, and it is beautifully bizarre! Our new research* into the capital’s lesser-known attractions has revealed a wonderfully quirky cultural bucket list based on what people actually want to see.<\/h4>\n

It turns out that a whopping 58% of us are itching to skip the usual tourist traps this year and dive deep into London\u2019s outer boroughs instead. Thanks to social media, the real hype is all about these ‘unofficial’ landmarks, with over half of recent visitors saying they get way more excited about discovering these secret, viral spots. So, if you’re ready to peel back the layers of the capital and see what makes it truly tick, it\u2019s time to start ticking off the weird and wonderful side of London!<\/h4>\n

Adults from \u00a346.50 | Children from \u00a343.50<\/h5>\n

\"\"Topping the list is the disused Jubilee line part of Charing Cross Tube station<\/span><\/a>, where the London Transport Museum runs one of its Hidden London guided tours<\/span><\/a>. The closed platforms and concourse have been used as a set location for films, including Skyfall<\/em> and Paddington<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

Within the London Transport Museum itself, you can climb aboard historic red double-decker buses, wander through vintage tube carriages from the 19th century and marvel at the iconic, mid-century graphic design that shaped the city’s visual identity.<\/h4>\n
