26 things to do in 2026

Back in 2015 I did a London bucket list, which got me thinking about things I've been meaning to do for ages in (or near) London and then never got round to it. Plus some things I've done before but want to do again. (And yes, I've still not done some of the things I had on the 2015 list!)


1. Take a tour of Highgate Cemetery
2. Have breakfast at Billingsgate Market
3. Make bagels at home
4. Eat pie and mash at M Manze 
5. Visit the giraffes at Chessington World of Adventures
6. Try Old Chang Kee
7. Make ramen
8. Eat at The Sportsman, near Whitstable
9. Climb to the top of Hampstead Heath 
10. Go the Orchid Festival at Kew Gardens
11. Go 'all in' at Blacklock
12. Make corn bread 
13. Do the Big Ben tour
14. Climb to the top of The Monument 
15. Explore The Garden at 120
16. Dinner at Berenjak
17. Kayak down the River Thames 
18. Ride The Chimney Lift to the top of Battersea Power Station
19. Play the machines at Novelty Automation 
20. Have a roast at Quality Chophouse 
21. Visit The Spaniards Inn
22. Admire the Winter Lights at Canary Wharf
23. Eat Korean food in New Malden
24. Explore the Wes Anderson Archives at the Design Museum 
25. Make Irn-Bru sorbet

Let's face it, I probably won't do them all, but let's see if I can do half! Have you done any of these things? x
