Hidden tourist spots in London

Amongst all famous, most visited places of the world, the British capital has its own unique destinations and scenery and many things to do in London. When I am talking here about London, there are so many places worth visiting which we all know because those are too famous but excluding those places London has some secret and interesting hidden spot which you’ve heard off but not visited or you have no certain information behind its existence over London.

Tower Bridge Chimney
Tower Bridge is often visited place by civilians and tourists but there are very few people who know about Tower Bridge Chimney. While walking on the Tower Bridge you have normally seen the lamp posts but have you marked about this little thicker lamp which has no light lamp. The story behind this Chimney is one type of small room under the bridge which originally was been used by the guards when on duty protecting the Tower of London and the room had coal fire and the smoke came out through this Chimney. It is like one historical place which might be interesting to see for tourists.

Geffrye Museum
London has a big bunch of museums like most popular V&A Museum, British museum and National History museum but there are some others which have its own specialty to attract and one of them is Geffrye Museum which is well-known for its clean and wonderful sight into how people have lived over the years. If you visit this place its every room makes you feel so amazed and you find something that you have never seen before that.

The Rolling Bridge
Rolling Bridge
By the name of this place you can get an idea about this bridge that it is a bending revolving bridge created by British designer Thomas Heatherewick. If you wish to see it then you can see it roll up to let boats pass under the bridge on Friday afternoon because during the whole week it’s looking like a regular footbridge and it remains horizontal and only opens on Friday noon and the reason behind the making of this bridge is that the movement and unexpected feature of the bridge. It won a number of awards including the Structural Steel Award, and an Emerging Architecture Award.

There are so many other hidden places in London but above are the quite interesting ones’ according to my view and I would like to serve you these types of exciting things to do in London every time.
