5 Unusual Things to Do in London This Weekend
By Victoria Haynes
Looking for cool things to do in London this weekend? Ready to ditch the usual tourist traps and dive into some seriously quirky fun? You'veLooking for cool things to do in London this weekend? Ready to ditch the usual tourist traps and dive into some seriously quirky fun? You've come to the right place! Forget queuing for Big Ben or heading off to the same old art galleries; we're talking about the kind of activities that'll have your friends asking, 'Where did you find that?' From culinary adventures to houseboat antics, let's uncover five genuinely unusual things to do in London this weekend. Have a sweet time at a GF mochi making class Ever fancied crafting those chewy, sweet Japanese delights? This isn't your average baking session – you'll be rolling, shaping, and flavouring your own gluten-free mochi under the guidance of a seasoned pro. Think colourful, bouncy treats, perfect for impressing your mates or simply indulging your sweet tooth. You'll learn the secrets to creating the perfect texture and flavour, and walk away with a box of your own handmade mochi. Why you'll love it: There's something wonderfully therapeutic about working with mochi dough. It's tactile, fun, and you get to eat your creations! Plus, learning a new skill is always a buzz. You’ll leave feeling like a proper culinary artist, and you’ll have a delicious, unique dessert you can recreate at home. For those with gluten sensitivities, this is a brilliant way to enjoy a treat that's often off-limits. Amazing class! Simon and Hanna were brilliant hosts - super friendly and knowledgeable. And the mochi were delicious! Thanks so much :) Zoe Adams Go bold with a DIY decoden phone case workshop If you're looking for truly unique experiences in London, prepare to get seriously creative. This workshop lets you transform your phone case into a dazzling, personalised, completely bespoke masterpiece. Decoden is all about adding a mountain of cute embellishments, from sparkly gems to miniature sweets, and everything in between. You’ll be let loose with a treasure trove of materials, and you'll learn the techniques to create a phone case that screams ‘you’. Why you'll love it: Let’s be honest, who doesn't want a phone case that's totally one-of-a-kind? This is your chance to express your inner artist and create something that reflects your personality – plus, it's a fantastic way to spend a few hours with friends, laughing and getting seriously crafty. You’ll walk away with a phone case that’s a real conversation starter, and a fantastic memory of a fun, creative experience. Have a brew-tiful time at a bubble tea barista experience Bubble tea has taken London by storm, but have you ever wondered how those perfect little pearls are made? In this hands-on workshop, you'll step behind the counter and learn the art of bubble tea brewing. From selecting the right tea leaves to mastering the tapioca pearls, you’ll discover the secrets to creating your own delicious concoctions. You'll experiment with different flavours, learn how to create your own signature blends, and leave with the knowledge to impress all your bubble tea-loving friends. Why you'll love it: It's a delicious and interactive experience! You'll get to sample a variety of flavours and learn the tricks of the trade. Plus, you’ll be the envy of all your friends when you whip up your own bubble tea at home. It’s a fun and engaging way to spend an afternoon, and you'll learn a skill that’s guaranteed to impress. Really lovely hosts and a fun experience all round. A must for boba lovers! Rhiannon Shepherd Escape the London buzz with a cacao ceremony and sound healing experience For a truly unique and immersive experience, step into the world of cacao and sound healing. More than just another weekend London activity, it's a journey of self-discovery and relaxation. You'll participate in a traditional cacao ceremony, where you'll drink ceremonial-grade cacao and connect with its heart-opening properties, before being enveloped in the soothing sounds of crystal bowls and other instruments, allowing you to relax and release tension. This isn’t just one of our most unique things to do in London – it’s also one of the most blissful! Why you'll love it: In our busy lives, taking time for self-care is essential. This experience offers a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and connect with yourself on a deeper level. The combination of cacao and sound healing is incredibly powerful, and you'll leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. For those seeking stuff to do in London that goes beyond the ordinary, this is a must-try. Set sail with a churros and chocolate class on a boat Fancy a sweet treat with a twist? This isn't just another cooking class; it's a culinary adventure on the water. You'll learn how to make crispy, golden churros and decadent chocolate sauce while cosying up on a beautiful houseboat. Imagine dipping warm churros into rich chocolate, all while enjoying stunning views of the city. It's a truly memorable experience! Why you'll love it: Combining delicious food with a unique setting is a recipe for success. You get to learn a new skill, enjoy a tasty treat, and soak in London's iconic sights from a different perspective. It's a perfect way to spend a relaxing and indulgent afternoon, and you’ll have the skills to recreate this delicious treat for friends and family. This is one of the more unusual things to do in London that you’ll never forget! We had such a lovely afternoon making churros with Tere. We felt so welcome on her house boat, it was a really cool experience and she was a delight to spend an afternoon with. The churros and chocolate were easy to make and delicious – I’m excited to try making them at home. Thanks again Tere!

It's a reminder that this city, with its centuries of history and boundless creativity, offers far more than just the standard tourist trail.
