15 Unique Things To Do In London (That You Won't Find On Trip Advisor)

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.
