12. Visit The Singing Ticket Barrier

When one London commuter exited the Jubilee Line at Canary Wharf recently, he noticed that his particular ticket barrier was in a musical mood, greeting him as it did with a 'woo-hoo' reminiscent of Blur's 1997 hit "Song 2." The excited traveller immediately whipped out his camera phone to capture the talented ticket gate and it soon became a viral hit on YouTube, even making it into the national press.

There's an unsubstantiated rumour that the barrier will be duetting with Katy Perry on the next series of the X-Factor, but before it picks up a record deal, head down to Canary Wharf to hear it sing, all for the price of a single tube fare.
