London is a big place. Like, really, really big.

It's also the most visited city on Earth, as measured by international arrivals, making the tourism industry in London a very big business. Needless to say, it can be difficult for visitors in the city to choose from the huge variety of attractions in the area. If you're a first-time tourist in London, you've probably already got a set list of places to visit: the London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Big Ben, etc, etc. No list of alternate locations or discussions of why it's best to avoid the particularly crowded areas are likely to change your mind.

This list takes a look at 20 attractions slightly off the usual beaten track, that you really need to try out next time you're in London. From quirky museums to alternative ways to view the city, these locations are sure to offer a better experience than queuing for three hours to get on the London Eye.
