Little Venice

If you like to go boating but are bored with traditional Thames walks, head North from Paddington tube station . From here, you can take a ride along the beautiful streets of Maida Vale and Regent's Park, or go upstream and enjoy the tranquility away from the city's hustle and bustle.

The Naked Ladies

Take a look at the gardens of York House. The house, located on the banks of the Thames, was built in the early 17th century for Andrew Pitcarne, a courtier of king Charles I. Today, the mansion is used for ceremonies. One of the main reasons to visit York House is the sculptures of Nude ladies. They are made of Carrara marble and were probably brought to London from Italy in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.

The seven noses of Soho

These original artefacts appeared in London in the late twentieth century thanks to the artist Rick Buckley. His action was a protest against the installation of surveillance cameras in the city. It is said that the artist then bet with friends that he could "leave with the nose" the London surveillance system and place 35 casts of his nose around the city. It is not known for sure how many of them remain to this day, but it is believed that the one who finds seven noses in the capital 's Soho, waiting for wealth.

The Rolling Bridge

Fans of unusual structures will definitely like Rolling Bridge: even a small drawbridge the British were able to turn into an original piece of art. When ships pass through the Grand Union canal, this bridge does not just rise, but twists into an octagonal shape on one of the banks. The structure was designed by British designer Thomas Hatherwick, for which he received the British Structural Steel Design award in 2005.

The Thin House

At first glance, it seems that the width of the house number 5 on the corner of South Terrace and Thurloe Square is only a couple of meters. However, if you look closely, this optical illusion is created by the original layout — the back of the house is still expanding. The design for the building was chosen for a reason: the railway line runs directly behind it.

St. Dunstan's Church garden

One of the most beautiful secret gardens in London is located among the ruins of St Dunstan's Church on the way between London bridge and the tower of London. The Church, built around the XII century, burned down in a fire in 1666. After that, it was restored , but the bombing during world War II finally destroyed the temple. In 1971, a small Park was opened on its ruins.

The London stone

Previously, the mysterious stone was embedded in the wall of a house at 111 Cannon Street at knee height. It is believed that it was left from a boulder of unknown origin that stood for centuries on the South side of the street. Some believe that this is the remains of a structure from Ancient Rome, others - that the boulder was used for occult rituals.
