To visit God's Own Junkyard is to experience sensory overload — every corner of the neon sign gallery is full to bursting with lights, colour and action. Make an afternoon out of your trip up there and grab a sandwich at the gallery's cafe before taking a seat outside on the patio.
Pro tip: God's Own Junkyard is full of surprises, but some of the neon signs may seem familiar — see you if you can spot some from Eyes Wide Shut and Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Have you ever wanted to spend a night in a museum? Well, here is your chance! Buying a ticket to one of the Natural History Museum's Dino-Snores events gets you a 3-course meal in the museum, before you then fall asleep under Hope, the humongous blue whale skeleton.
Pro tip: Come prepared! Pack a comfy pillow and a sleep mask for your adult sleepover in the museum.

All good boys deserve some fine dining every once in a while. The Egerton House Hotel in London's fancy Knightsbridge area is so committed to being dog-friendly that they've extended their afternoon tea offering so that your canine BFF can eat with you.
Pro tip: While the doggy food is indulgent, the team at the Egerton put it together with your pup's dietary needs in mind.

Dine like a king, or more specifically, dine like King Henry the 8th at the Medieval Banquet in St. Katharine's Docks. Tear into chicken legs and sip red wine while court jesters entertain you.
Pro tip: Get there early so you can pick out the best costumes OR if you're really keen, bring your own.
5. The Attendant in Fitzrovia

Eating in a public toilet isn't something that most people tend to do on the regular, but if you find yourself close to the Attendant in Fitzrovia, then you should give it a try. Grab a pew at the original porcelain urinals in this underground cute cafe.
Pro tip: The Fitzrovia location is small so best for groups of 2-4 maximum. Plan your visit for breakfast or brunch so you can order the banana toast!
