The Shard

I suggest buying your tickets online in advance. I did this and skipped the long lines at the ticket counter, which saved me a ton of time!

Don't forget to bring your camera. I thought my phone's camera would be fine but the views are so amazing you'll want the best quality shots possible

Also, I suggest checking the weather before you go. I went on a cloudy day, and I couldn't see much. A clear day is so worth it!

I think you should take the stairs up to Level 72 if you can. It's a cool experience, and you'll get a different perspective than just taking the lift.
Emirates Airline

I suggest checking the weather before you go – I made the mistake of going on a cloudy day and the views weren’t great at all. Sunshine really makes a difference.

I recommend taking a morning slot, like around 10 AM, to avoid the big crowds and get a more relaxed experience. The views are clearer too, trust me!

One thing I learned is to wear comfortable shoes. The ramp can be a bit of a trek, and flip flops are not a good idea. You want to be ready for an adventure!
My advice is to book online ahead of time. I saved a few pounds this way and skipped the long queues at the ticket booth, which was a lifesaver!
House Of Vans
Trent Park Equestrian Centre

I think it's best to arrive around 9 AM if you want a quieter experience. The late morning and afternoon sessions can get packed with kids and groups

I recommend checking their social media for special events or discounts before you go. I stumbled upon a half-price lesson deal which was awesome!

I suggest calling ahead to check for riding availability, especially on weekends. It can get super busy and you might miss out on a spot if you just show up.

My advice is to wear proper footwear. I wore regular sneakers and regretted it; riding boots make a huge difference in comfort and safety.
Southbank Skatepark
Parkour Generations London

my advice is to get there around 3 pm on weekdays. it’s less crowded then, and you’ll have more space to practice without bumping into a ton of people.

My advice is to take advantage of any beginner sessions they offer. I did a regular one, and the instructors were super helpful and made it a lot of fun.
Zorbing Hire UK Bubble Football Zorb Racing
ZAPspace Trampoline Park

I suggest wearing comfy clothing and grippy socks to enjoy yourself fully. I wore regular socks and they didn't do a great job, slipping around a bit.
If you can, aim to go right when it opens at 10 AM, it was way less busy then. That way, you get more jump time without the crowd!

My advice is to check out their 'Happy Hour' deals on Wednesdays; I saved some cash and had a blast bouncing! Definitely worth it if you're trying to stick to a budget.
The London Equestrian Centre

My advice is to wear comfy shoes and dress for the weather. I didn’t realize how muddy it could get, and ended up slipping around a lot. A pair of old boots would be perfect next time

I think you should try to book your session online in advance I saved a bit of money that way and it guarantees your spot. Plus you'll avoid any disappointment if they get fully booked.
Skating Haven

My advice is to bring your own skates if you have them. Renting can be a bit pricey, and the quality isn't always great. Plus, you'll feel more comfortable skating on your own gear!

I suggest you get your tickets online in advance, it saved me time and a few quid! Plus, you might find some discounts if you look around. Also, avoid peak hours like Friday evenings; it gets super crowded.
