London offers more than the London Eye, Madame Tussauds and The Shrek Adventure, with a range of experiences, attractions and deals available across the city through Red Letter Days and Virgin Experiences. Here are five standout options for a different kind of weekend.
The Traitors Live Experience for Two
Fans of the hit show can secure two spots at the infamous round table with The Traitors Live Experience. The package lets participants step into the world of secrets, strategy and suspense. Priced at £90, it is available at Redletterdays.co.uk.
Spa Treatments and Cream Tea at Athenaeum Hotel
At the Athenaeum Hotel in Mayfair, a package includes two spa treatments and cream tea for two people. The experience, described as the most relaxed one can be in the centre of the bustling city, is priced at £213, reduced to £182, at Redletterdays.co.uk. A word of advice: book an Uber home afterwards, as you may feel too zen to face the Central line.
The Cube Live Experience for Two
The Cube Live Experience offers a chance to try the titular Cube without the pressure of Bradley Walsh or a full studio audience. It costs £120 at Redletterdays.co.uk.
Three Course Dinner with Cocktail at Fortnum & Mason
Foodies can enjoy a three-course dinner with cocktail for two at The Fortnum & Mason Bar and Restaurant at Royal Exchange. Once dubbed the 'Most Instagrammable Restaurant in London', the venue is priced at £99 at Virginexperiencedays.co.uk.
iFly Indoor Skydiving for Two
Indoor skydiving at iFly is described as silly, slightly scary and surprisingly skilled. The experience made the writer laugh and left abs aching the next day, with outfits noted as surprisingly chic. Priced at £159.99, reduced to £49.99, it is available at Virginexperiencedays.co.uk.
