When you visit London, England you won\u2019t be short on activities. You can visit the Tower of London and see where Anne Boleyn and others lost their heads. You have to love the irony because Henry VIII and Anne\u2019s daughter, Elizabeth, was one of the longest reigning Queens of England. But I digress. Instead of doing and seeing the same things as others, check out the following alternative things to do in London.<\/p>\n

Bring a Little Magic into Your Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to see something different, check out The Magic Hour with world-class magician Tony Middleton \u2018Sonic\u2019. He takes you back in time to the Golden Age of magic \u2013 the Victorian era. Imagine seeing Tony perform illusions such as spirits writing messages from beyond, disappearing objects, and more in a renovated old lounge of Grand Royale Hyde Park. The Magic Hour is one alternative, cool thing to see.<\/p>\n

See the Stone Nose of Admiralty Arch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go to the northernmost arch of Admiralty Arch (it\u2019s on the left as you look toward Trafalgar Square) and you\u2019ll see a strange life-size stone nose protruding halfway up the wall \u2013 cool! Legend has it that in 1997 artist Rick Buckley placed objects to protest London\u2019s growth of CCTV: anti-crime closed-circuit television cameras. Please be on your best behavior.<\/p>
