Recommend something different to do in London?

We are spending the weekend in central London and was wondering if anyone could recommend anything different to do than the normal touristy things? Quite like walking round areas but open to anything really!

Horniman Museum is free and a bit different, not fun for children really though.

Take a look at the TimeOut website, they usually have a range of activities away from the usual tourist attractions.

Browntoa

Brick lane on a Sunday , 100's of stalls selling street food from almost everywhere.

Or finish off with a famous salt beef Beigel from Beigel bake

The views from the Sky Garden in the Walkie-Talkie building are great:

You can either get free tickets or choose to eat & drink.

Unusual experience! Not for everyone though, but it is different.

Thanks for some really brilliant ideas, will definitely take up one or two of those!

London has some good walking opportunities, some of them surprisingly rural in nature. Check out the Capital Ring and London Loop, if you're interested.
