Someone managed to turn this into a tourist trap. If you are a Potter head, you still need to go.
5. Spend Chinese New Year at the China Town Street Market

Try and go at Chinese New Year. It’s crazy! To eat: New World (old school dim sum trolley service / no menu or prices listed).
6. Spend nothing on the Natural History Museum
Natural History Museum
London, United Kingdom
Another great London Museum. Also great for kids. From memory I think it’s free.
7. Stroll across the Prime Meridian at Greenwich Park
Greenwich Park
London, United Kingdom
Greenwich Parks offers cafes, museums, the observatory and nature life. With a lake, animal life, flower gardens, tennis courts and much green space, come if you want to relax, sunbath, exercise, picnic, meet with friends or simply marvel at the views over Canary Wharf, the Old Naval College, the O2 Arena and London.
