1. Sky Garden
We may not be sharing anything new with this popular tourist attraction, but there’s a reason why Sky Garden is so well-loved. Located 43 floors up London’s iconic ‘walkie talkie’ building, the beautiful, botanical garden is a one-stop destination for mesmerising views of the city’s skyline, alongside a range of lavish bars and restaurants. From early morning yoga sessions to unforgettable wine tasting dinners, make sure to keep an eye out for their seasonal ticketed events. Don’t fret if you’re on a budget either, as entry is free with admission tickets released every Monday.

2. God’s Own Junkyard
Brighten up your week with a trip to Walthamstow (yes, you read that right), and enter the bright and colourful neon paradise that is God’s Own Junkyard. Featuring a collection of sparkling disco balls, religious statues, and heaps of retro signs - we’re talking in the thousands here - this fascinating wonderland comes from late owner Chris Bracey, who has even created props for the likes of Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’s Tim Burton. Impressive, eh? If you want to keep the hunger at bay while out there, they also have an onsite café and bar too.

This secret, hidden chapel is every architect lover’s dream. Don’t be fooled by the ordinary exteriors nestled away amongst unassuming apartments, as the minute you step indoors, you’ll be surrounded by a baroque masterpiece with an entire ceiling drenched in gold and Neo Byzantine design. Open to the public on Wednesday’s between 11am and 7pm, you’re free to marvel at its beautiful marble floors, stained glass windows, and 153 shimmering stars - which can also be hired for unforgettable wedding ceremonies too.
