Best London Side Quests I've made a list of all the best London side quests that you can do with a date, with a friend or by yourself, let's go through them. So number one of my bucket list was swim at Hampstead Heath ponds I've actually already done this one recently. It was really cool. There's a women only swimming, but you have to reserve it online though. It's around five quid. But, it's a girls only space. There's also men's only and there's mixed, You can then sunbathe and relax. It's like such a nice way to swim outside in London. cycle around empty London cycle somewhere random I've done this a lot and I recommend sunrise or sunset. But sunrise is the best because you can wake up really early when no one else is up and all the streets are empty and you're just cruising. It's so fun. or you could do it like really late at night That would be nice with a group of friends but solo still hits.. Uber Boat to somewhere random I actually haven't taken an Uber boat in a while, so I'm definitely gonna be doing. Doing this one soon. Sounds sick. Love Uber boats. And also they can just drop you off somewhere random by the river and it's. It's always gonna be pretty cause it's by the river or 99% of the time. Richmond Park to Twickenham River Walk That's the walk that I posted about a while ago. It's so pretty, so nice. You basically start at Richmond, you walk all the way to the park and you walk around, near the river. There's lots of swim spots, it's just good vibes. And you could cycle it as well. Amazing. 10 out of ten. Another thing that I actually wanna do plane watching at myrtle avenue fly off at Myrtle Avenue. it's a place near Heathrow you can literally see the planes landing. It's so sick. And another thing is doing the best walk in London this is my favourite thing ever. I'm actually geeking about this. I don't know if I used that word correctly, but the best walk is from Westminster station. You get off at Westminster station, you walk near the Thames you keep walking all the way to London Bridge. I know it's a long walk, it's around like 11 K steps, but I do this walk all the time it's my absolute favourite in London. It's the best for date friends by yourself. it's the most scenic thing ever and I always come back to do it every time I'm in central. It's so beautiful. You pass South Bank, you walk near the river and then you keep walking, And then you get to this place that's like near the river and there's like lots of rocks and it's almost like a little beach in London

No one seems to know how to make plans anymore, so I'm doing it for you. I've made a list of all the best London side quests that you can do with a date, with a friend or by yourself, let's go through them. So number one of my bucket list was swim at Hampstead Heath ponds. I've actually already done this one recently. It was really cool. There's a women only swimming, but you have to reserve it online though. It's around five quid. But, it's a girls only space. There's also men's only and there's mixed. You can then sunbathe and relax. It's like such a nice way to swim outside in London. Next, cycle around empty London. I've done this a lot and I recommend sunrise or sunset. But sunrise is the best because you can wake up really early when no one else is up and all the streets are empty and you're just cruising. It's so fun. Or you could do it like really late at night. That would be nice with a group of friends, but solo still hits. Uber boat to somewhere random. I actually haven't taken an Uber boat in a while, so I'm definitely gonna be doing. Doing this one soon. Sounds sick. Love Uber boats. And also they can just drop you off somewhere random by the river and it's. It's always gonna be pretty cause it's by the river or 99% of the time. Richmond Park to Twickenham River Walk. That's the walk that I posted about a while ago. It's so pretty, so nice. You basically start at Richmond, you walk all the way to the park and you walk around, near the river. There's lots of swim spots, it's just good vibes. And you could cycle it as well. Amazing. 10 out of ten. Another thing that I actually wanna do is plane watching at Myrtle Avenue. Fly off at Myrtle Avenue. It's a place near Heathrow. You can literally see the planes landing. It's so sick. And another thing is doing the best walk in London. This is my favourite thing ever. I'm actually geeking about this. I don't know if I used that word correctly, but the best walk is from Westminster station. You get off at Westminster station, you walk near the Thames, you keep walking all the way to London Bridge. I know it's a long walk, it's around like 11 K steps, but I do this walk all the time. It's my absolute favourite in London. It's the best for date friends by yourself. It's the most scenic thing ever and I always come back to do it every time I'm in central. It's so beautiful. You pass South Bank, you walk near the river and then you keep walking, and then you get to this place that's like near the river and there's like lots of rocks and it's almost like a little beach in London.
