It may be an understatement to say that London is a big place. No scrub that, it’s huge, and its borders are growing all the time. This means that there are a lot more things of interest to see in England’s capital city than you might think.

The chances are that wherever you live, you’ve heard of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Tower Bridge and all those other places that every tourist visits when they visit London. But there’s more interesting stuff lurking underneath.

This video gives an intriguing alternative tour of some of the more quirky attractions in London. There is the MI6 building, Where James Bond and his cronies operate, a Soviet tank on the Old Kent Road, and lots more besides.

As someone who visits London quite often, this video intrigued me because I’ve never visited any of the locations mentioned, although I have walked past the MI6 building many times.

If you’re planning a tourist trip to London anytime soon, be sure to venture away from the norm and see some of these more quirky attractions. You’ll then have a story to tell your friends when you get back.
