Revisiting My London Bucket List

It has been a long time since I did a London bucket list update. Pre-2020 I was doing these types of updates every six months or so, but things have changed a lot. I still go into London regularly, but nowhere near as much as I used to. Other than the odd visit to my work office or a gig I’d say I go into the capital to do things probably once a month.

Despite not going in as office I’m well overdue a revisit of my bucket list to see what I have and haven’t done, and to see what new things I want to do to my list.

London bucket list- The Tower Bridge Experience

We’re not starting off strong as this is something I’ve not managed to tick off my life. I pass Tower Bridge quite often and always say to myself that I need to book it. I’d want to go when the weather is a bit nicer and my next month or so are pretty packed. So this may be one that needs to wait until Spring time next year. But I think I just need to book it and not give myself an excuse.

Do a moving walk tour of London

Again another one I’ve not yet done. I did try and book one in for last summer I think but the dates just didn’t coincide right for me. I’d love to do either a superhero tour or a chick flick one, I know there’s a tour that covers places from Notting Hill and Bridget Jones Diary which would be fun.

London bucket list- Explore Notting Hill

This is one bucket list item that I can now tick off. Earlier this year me and a friend were doing a bookish day and we spent our morning in the Notting Hill area. It was stunning exploring the boutiques and the area. I’d love to go back and spend more time there.

Bubblewrapwaffle

Luke tried to take me here for my birthday last year, but it was closed. So we got so close, but again another one that’s just remained on my bucket list.

London bucket list- Sketch

On the same birthday trip that we tried to go to Bubblewrapwaffle we did make it to Sketch. Luke took me there for breakfast which was absolutely lovely and such an experience. I am keen to go back and dine in the pink room (and use the iconic egg toilets), but that’s one for the future.

Eately Italian food market

I swear all of the ticks on my bucket list come from the same birthday trip out. For dinner that evening Luke booked us into one of the restaurants in Eately and the food was so good. I had some of the best pizza and cannoli that I’ve ever had. We also explored the foodie stalls after and bought some treats back to make.

London bucket list- See something at The Globe

This is another one that will remain on my list. I love going to the theatre, but the right play to see at The Globe just hasn’t popped up yet. But one day!

Go to Saint Dunstan in the East

I visited this abandoned church on a solo London trip I did sometime over the past year. It was a really cool spot to explore and see, literally tucked behind loads of high rises so you’d never expect it to be there. There were loads of people there taking photos and doing mini photo shoots. But I just took a book and sat and read, soaking up the atmosphere.

New things to add to my London bucket list

• Grab an ice cream brioche roll from Badiani Gelato
• Do a foodie crawl around Camden Market. This is something me and my friend have been meaning to do for ages, but I’d love to try loads of dishes from stalls all around
• Do a simulation drive at the F1 arcade. This only opened this year or last I think and I’d love to go with Luke, even though I know he would beat me

Do you have anything on your London bucket list? Or anywhere I should add to mine?
