    You must live near me Forza, I’m in Tufnell Park.

    Have you thought about nice walk on the Heath followed by Sunday lunch at the Holly Bush which is like a beautiful country pub hidden down the lanes in Hampstead .

    Another one is a long bike ride around the capital ring that circles inner London rarely leaving parks or canals and passes many delightful watering holes .

    If they like history then there is great book called hidden walks of London which takes on guided walks through various parts of historic London all with plenty of great watering holes on the way - you get a theme here ?

    If you want to head out East then Broadway Market, London Fields and some art galleries is good followed by music at loads of cutting edge music venues .

    If you can’t find it in London it probably doesn’t exist .

    All good suggestions, thanks! I like the sound of the capital ring cycle ride, I might do that myself!

    I used to live in Archway, so know Tufnell Park very well! I always used to see one Watford fan on the northern line on my way home from games and now wondering if that was you haha.

    Maybe , although We usually head down to Euston on motorbike and head up that way via the Flag at the Junction .

    BTW there is always the massive Spoons in Holloway Rd of your friend wants an insight into the indigenous peoples !

    If you want a laugh and can put up with feeling slightly soiled afterwards, visit Luton to watch the locals in their natural habitat.

    I used to go to that occasionally. Old cinema?

    It's quite nice now, it's even got a hipster restaurant called Norman's that people seem to love.

    Went to the Planetarium many times.
    Loved it. Sorry to hear it’s closed.

    Take them to the Museum of London in Docklands.
    The history of London is fascinating and it’s free!
    Tell ‘em how Queen Boudicca massacred the nasty Romans in London and how they enslaved us poor Britons.
    Then to St Paul’s Cathedral and give them the life history of Samuel Pepys and Sir Christopher Wren..
    Give them a prize of a bag of pork scratchings if they can correctly pronounce Pepys.

    TBF There's an awful to see: the main Keep, the area around it, the various Towers, Rattners and the Fusiliers museum.

    EDIT: Snorbens pub crawl.

    How about a drive along the Westway and then spend some time browsing around Car Giant?

    If there’s time you could also walk around Wormwood Scrubs and observe the prison before some retail therapy at Westfields.
