👀The London Doozy - London's Best Events This Week

Hello Londoners, it’s cold, everyone’s wrapped up indoors, but some brave Londoners are taking to the tube…without trousers.

The utterly British response: a polite side-eye, a quick cough, and then total denial that anything unusual is happening. It’s a cheeky reminder that, come rain, shine, or questionable sartorial choices, the Tube keeps calm and carries on.

So if you wanna avoid the sight of someone’s hairy legs stay in this Sunday.

We also have some great events this week for those looking to venture out a little.

From the Cirque Soleil’s Corteo , “The Adventure Travel Show” in Islington, to a Interstellar tribute plenty is happening both free and paid.

London Shower Thoughts

London gyms are packed in January, but by February, they’ll look like the night bus at 3 a.m.—just one lone guy lifting questionable weights.

What's Interesting?

Marina Bay Sands eat your heart out.

London has its very own majestic swimming pool.

The jaw-dropping, see-through Sky Pool at Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, is where brave swimmers float 35 meters above ground between two buildings. It’s a unique piece of architecture and a thrill for anyone not afraid of heights!

The only downside is its exclusive amenity for the residents of the Embassy Gardens development and their guests.

Mind you…if you're afraid of heights it’s probably for the better!
