London is full of underrated and ‘hidden gem’ spots – you just need to know where to look (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You’ve got your selfie outside Buckingham Palace<\/a>. You’ve marvelled at St. Paul’s Cathedral. You’ve stuffed your face with pasties at London<\/a>’s oldest food market. <\/p>\n

You look up to Big Ben<\/a> to check the clock, only to realise you’ve still got loads of time to kill in the Big Smoke.<\/p>\n

Tourist traps aside, alternative London is where it’s at. The city is brimming with fun – and affordable – things to do, from game nights with friends to white water rafting. Yes, really.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re looking to make the most of your time in London, but don’t want to break the bank, Metro<\/strong> has rounded up 15 of the best alt activities the city has to offer.<\/p>\n

This Easter<\/a> weekend, remember there’s so much more to the capital than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

1. Phoenix Garden<\/h2>\n

Desperate for a moment’s peace from the hustle and bustle of city life? <\/p>\n

Tranquillity is closer than you think. Hidden between the perpetually teeming Soho and Covent Garden, you’ll find Phoenix Garden.<\/p>\n

An oasis of calm amid chaos, this small community space is alive with brightly-coloured flowers, buzzy bees, and plenty of greenery, especially in spring.<\/p>\n

As well as being a welcome retreat from the stresses of London, the gardens provide a valuable habitat for urban wildlife. <\/p>\n

Take a walk to gather your thoughts or eat your lunch on a bench \u2014 you’ll soon forget you’re surrounded by bustling shops and theatres.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a> lovers will also recognise the gardens as a key filming location from the 2019 movie, Last Christmas<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n
