The Square Mile isn't all glass and concrete:
London has beaches:
And lakes:
And temples:
There's a castle hidden in a forest on a hill:
London's bus stop roofs harbour some weird secrets:
You will develop an affiliation with either white or yellow, and once you have chosen, you will refuse to set foot in the other:
Londoners take the whole 'stand on the right' thing very seriously:
There are people literally everywhere:
You can't really ever get lost in central London:
You'll soon develop 'your spot' on the platform — and woe betide anyone else who tries to stand there:
There are secret gardens all over the place:
London has some weird (and cool) toilets:
You can learn kung fu from Shaolin Monks:
There's a whole shop dedicated to Dr Who:
The wittiest Londoners are employed to write on chalkboards:
Often, the cool stuff is happening on the roof rather than at street level:
You're as likely to catch a glimpse of an urban fox as you are one of London's infamous rats:
There really are as many pigeons as you'd expect — and you're not permitted to feed them (in Trafalgar Square, anyway):
London's also home to pelicans:
And parakeets:
And peacocks:
You'll soon turn a blind eye to all but the weirdest of fancy dress (and trust us, it gets really weird):
Off the beaten track are hundreds of alleyways waiting to be explored:
Even with the best intentions, you'll never be able to see and do everything:
