Are you a Londoner? Visit regularly? Give me some quirky and amazing ideas please

It's my husband's 50th in March and I'm thinking about somewhere to go

What I'd like ...

No overnight stay - we are only in Oxford so would hop on the train

Doing something pretty cool. So a nice meal somewhere off the beaten track - no curry, has to cater for vegetarians, burgers would be good too!

Maybe a show? Is that a bit boring though?

I'd be up for anything a bit different really. Any ideas please?

The Museum of Automata is fun and fairly central.

Go to a Georgian restaurant.

What does he like doing, does he have any particular interests, would you prefer vegetarian or burgers

What about something like a matinee performance of this?

Followed by dinner at Sarastros.

Not sure what something cool entails but I love Dennis Severs house.

Italian? Circolo Popolare? Very on trend at the mo but the food is good.

Mildreds in Camden is 👍

Beaten to it on Denis Severs’ house!

An immersive experience??

These are so cool thanks for the ideas

As to what he likes ..

Golf (but he's a pro player so not really relevant I don't think as mini golf isn't something he goes for!)

Darts

Good food but not fussy portions. Decent burgers kinda thing

Sports. He's fairly sporty

Have a look at secret London. They have so many cool ideas, I cant imagine you wouldnt find something.

The Museum of Automata is fun and fairly central.

DS and I really enjoyed this! It was recommended on here (maybe even by you, Shiningpath?!)

It's just the size of a smallish shop and doesn't take very long but it's well worth a visit for a unique, fun experience. The quirky humour was right up our street.

Oh, hang on, am I talking about a different place? I mean Novelty Automation, in Holborn.

What's the Museum of automation, is that different?

Darts? Maybe Flight Club. flightclubdarts.com/london/

If it's open by then: www.roofeast.com

Thanks for the suggestions

So far we have booked

Afternoon showing of Witness and evening tour of Dennis severs house

urbangolf.co.uk/

this is easy to get to on the tube from Paddington

maybe look what's on at The Barbican for the evening after the tour and dinner at The Cote

or maybe The Sky Garden which is not too far from Severs Houseskygarden.london/restaurant-bars/

skygarden.london/restaurant-bars/

We used to live in Angel and used to go to Sadlers Wells a lot. The shows (mostly modern ballet) are brilliant, can highly recommend and Angel has loads of restaurants.

Have booked sky garden!

Thanks all

That's witness for the prosecution, Dennis severs house and sky garden

Sorted!

Have fun😁
