00:04What's something people don't know about London?

00:07Most folks just scratch the surface but there's a whole other side to this city waiting to be discovered.

00:12You know, the Queen's Gaff? That's Buckingham Palace, where the guards never crack a smile.

00:17And Big Ben's Ends? That legendary clock tower chiming over the Thames, with those classic buses rolling by?

00:23Alright, enough of the cheesy jokes, everyone's always banging on about Buckingham Palace and that massive spinning wheel.

00:29The London Eye? Sure there must-sees, but there's so much more to this city than just the tourist hotspots.

00:36But you know me, yeah? I'm all about that different vibe.

00:39I want to show you the real London. The one the locals love, full of hidden gems, quirky markets and wild street art.

00:45So if you lot fancy seeing London like a right geezer, stick around.

00:49We're not just ticking boxes, we're diving into the heart of the city, meeting proper Londoners and soaking up the atmosphere.

00:55We're about to get into the top 10 proper mental things you can get up to in this city.

01:00From wild nights out to secret spots only the locals know, this is your guide to experiencing London like never before.

01:06Let's dive in, yeah?

01:08First up, we're going up, up, up. Sky Garden.

01:11This place is basically a giant greenhouse, in the sky.

01:15Get your head around that, yeah?

01:16Think lush plants, mad views and all for free, yeah?

01:19Free!

01:19You can stroll around, soak it all in or grab a cheeky cocktail at the bar.

01:23Trust me, sipping on a mojito with the London skyline sprawled out beneath you.

01:27Different level, fam.

01:28Next, we're diving headfirst into a neon dreamland.

01:31This place is pure madness, in a good way, obviously.

01:34I'm talking about God's Own Junkyard, a massive warehouse rammed with vintage neon signs, old movie props and all sorts of quirky bits and bobs.

01:42You'll be snapping pics for days in it.

01:44It's like stepping into a time warp, but with better lighting.

01:46Don't wear sunglasses, yeah? You'll miss the full effect.

01:50Hold on to your hats, loves, because things are about to get proper lively.

01:54We're not just going for a gentle cruise.

01:56This is the ultimate London thrill ride, and you'll feel the excitement before you even leave the dock.

02:01We're jumping on a Thames rocket speedboat.

02:03It's the fastest way to see the city, and trust me, you'll never look at the Thames the same way again.

02:08Yeah, you heard me right.

02:10Imagine flying down the Thames, wind in your hair, tunes blasting, and the city skyline whizzing by in a blur of colour and energy.

02:17You'll be grinning as you whiz past all the tourist boats looking all boring, waving at folks who wish they'd pick the rocket instead.

02:23It's a right laugh, and you get some pretty decent views too, innit?

02:27From the London Eye to Tower Bridge, you'll see it all from a whole new angle.

02:30Just try not to fall in, yeah?

02:32The ride's a bit bumpy, so hang on tight and keep your wits about you.

02:35The Thames is a bit, how do you say, moisty.

02:38And trust me, you don't want a mouthful of that river water, so keep your mouth closed when you scream.

02:43London's got a bit of a hidden side, yeah?

02:45It's not just the famous landmarks or the bustling markets.

02:48There's a whole world beneath the surface, if you know where to look.

02:51We love a good secret.

02:53There's something about sharing a hidden spot with your mates that makes the night feel extra special, like you're all in on something exclusive.

02:59And when it comes to pubs, we take it to a whole other level.

03:02Londoners have a knack for turning a simple night out into an adventure.

03:06Forget your average boozer, we're talking hidden speakeasies.

03:09These aren't just bars, they're experiences, tucked away from the crowds.

03:13These places are like little mysteries tucked away behind bookcases, in basements, you name it.

03:18Sometimes you need a password, or a nod from someone in the know.

03:21One of my faves is Evans & Peel.

03:23You gotta go through a detective agency to get in.

03:26It's like stepping into a film noir, with a bit of theatre before you even get to the bar.

03:30Once you're in, the cocktails are banging.

03:33The bartenders really know their stuff, and every drink feels like it's got its own story.

03:38Hidden gems like these are what make London's nightlife unforgettable.

03:42Right, let's slow it down a bit yeah?

03:44I know I know, peace and quiet in London.

03:46Believe it, little Venice is a whole mood.

03:48Think canals, cute little boats, and cafes with outdoor seating where you can watch the world go by.

03:53Hire a pedalo, try your hand at kayaking, or just stroll along the towpaths.

03:57It's proper romantic, innit?

03:59Just try not to get run over by a swan, they're proper cheeky buggers.

04:02Now we're off to Camden Town, baby.

04:05This place is a whole vibe.

04:06Street food, vintage clothes, music blaring, all sorts of characters roaming around.

04:11It's mental in the best way possible.

04:12And while you're there, you gotta check out Cyberdog.

04:15This place is next level.

04:16Imagine a shop run by robots blasting techno with clothes that light up.

04:20Yeah, it's that mad.

04:21Alright, let's get classy for a minute, yeah?

04:24But like, with a twist.

04:25Forget your stuffy hotel lounges, we're having afternoon tea.

04:29On a bus.

04:30Yeah, you heard me right.

04:32These vintage Routemaster buses have been transformed into moving restaurants,

04:36complete with comfy seats, white tablecloths, the lot,

04:39so you can scoff your scones and sip your tea while you see the sights.

04:43Just mind your head getting on and off, yeah?

04:46Alright, history buffs, this one's for you.

04:48Every night at the Tower of London they have this crazy ceremony called the Ceremony of the Keys.

04:52It's been going on for over 700 years, can you believe that?

04:56It's all very official and serious, with beefeaters in their fancy uniforms and everything.

05:00You gotta book tickets in advance, but trust me, it's worth it.

05:04It's like stepping back in time, innit?

05:05Next up, we're taking movie night to a whole new level.

05:09Rooftop cinema baby, picture this.

05:12Comfy beanbags, popcorn, a giant screen, and the London skyline as your backdrop.

05:16They show everything from classic films to new releases.

05:19It's the perfect way to spend a summer evening in it.

05:22Just try not to fall asleep and roll off the roof, yeah?

05:24Last but not least, we're ending on a high.

05:27Literally.

05:28We're climbing the O2 Arena.

05:30Yeah, that massive white tent thing.

05:32You can actually walk over the top of it.

05:34It's a bit like walking on the moon apparently, but with better views.

05:37You get a harness and everything, so don't worry, you won't fall off.

05:40And the view from the top?

05:41Mind-blowing.
