Fun Places To Explore During Your Business Trip To London

Looking To Make The Most Out Of Your Business Trip? It Doesn’t Have To Be All Work! Here’s Some Fun Ways To Fill The Time Inbetween Shifts While You’re Away

We understand that the purpose of your business trip to London is to work, but what about your days off? At Clooper, we always want you to have a happy time wherever you are staying. We’ve devised this exciting list of fun places to explore on your business trip to London.

Depending on your circumstance, you can use the list to explore places with your colleagues. Or invite a client to an eccentric restaurant for dinner to impress them. You can also collect souvenirs along the way. Souvenirs you can bring as a gift for those back home.

Place To Explore By Yourself 

There are many ways you can optimise your business travel for fun. London is an exciting and vibrant city. If you fancy learning about British culture and history, you can travel to Greenwich. Specifically, the Queen’s House. Originally, Queen’s House was used as a residence for royal servants and orphans. The exquisite architecture will make you feel as though you have travelled back in time to the 17th century! Additionally, right next to the Queen’s House is Greenwich Park; a beautiful park with a breath-taking panoramic view of the city.

Not far from this is Cutty Sark, a British Clipper ship built in 1869 that has now been transformed into a museum. Also, if you’re interested in experiencing other cultures while in London, travel to Greenwich Market, a lovely market full of many cultural cuisines from all parts of the world. 

Here are some other exciting places to explore in London:

• Brick Lane is famous for its bagel shops, specifically.
• The famous Tower Bridge.
• Richmond Park is good for a leisurely stroll, with the chance to spot some deer!
• Emirates Cable Carts.
• The equally famous Buckingham Palace. Time it right to catch the changing of the guards for an additional bit of intrigue.
• Boxpark is a fantastic place to spend your time in-between shifts. You can catch a cocktail bar or a tasty take out dish from this eccentric market-style attraction.

You don’t have to travel to these places all at once. Figure out how many days off you have and take it from there. Also, bring a camera along with you! You never know when you’re coming back into the city, so the pictures can act as a fond souvenir of your time in London.

Place To Create Memories With Colleagues 

London is a city full of many exciting and fun activities for friends. If you’re on a business trip with colleagues, one place you could try is park. We mentioned Boxpark earlier! Boxpark is an exciting and vibrant place full of live music and entertainment, different types of food and all-around good energy.

Another place to visit with your colleagues is Camden. This famous market is in the heart of London. Camden is known for its amazing cultural cuisines. Additionally, classic vintage stores and lively energy help make this a particularly fun destination. As well as Boxpark and Camden, here are other places you can visit with your work friends. 

• The Karaoke Hole is a great place to unwind and test those vocals.
• Go for a bowling night in one of Londons many popular bowling alleys.
• Try ‘Go Ape’ for an exciting new team building exercise!
• Try a Top Secret Comedy Club.
• Visit famous landmarks such as Tower bridge, Tate Modern and Olympic Park.

We guarantee that travelling to these locations with your colleagues will strengthen your rapport. Perhaps even your singing skills.
