Few Unusual Places To See In London This New Year

There is so much to see in London that no matter how many countries you have travelled before you will surely be amazed by the beauty and uniqueness of London. But sometimes seeing the usual sights can be a little boring. So if you want to get a different experience of visiting this remarkable city then you need to go for the places that are not so popular among the tourists. These venues will not only impress you highly but will also provide you with a unique and unforgettable experience.

Another place that can be considered to be highly unusual and doesn’t feature mostly in the guide books carried by the different travellers is the Black Museum. This place is dedicated entirely to the dastardly deeds of the Scotland Yard. Originally this place was used for teaching purposes but slowly with the growing number of cases and their documents this place turned into a museum where you will find all the gruesome details of the chilling cases that were inspected by the Scotland Yard.

Now The Museum

If you are still looking for other horrific yet fascinating places then you can consider visiting The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities where you will find everything from taxidermied specimens of varying sizes, skeletons, modern art, skulls, anatomical anomalies, insect sculptures, curios and various types of books.

The Ruins of the Church

This place is not only creepy but kind of dusty too so if skulls and skeletons are not your cup of tea then you can head towards the St. Dunstan-in-the-East which is the ruin of a beautiful church that was destroyed by the London Fire. After so many years the ruins have gradually transformed into an enchanting garden where you can spend some alone time or walk with your partner in the evening and enjoy the remarkable view of the garden all around you.

The Hunterian Museum houses the collection of John Hunter who is considered to be a mad scientist, anatomist, doctor and obstetrician. This museum has multiple anatomical as well as pathological preparations, paintings, fossils and even drawings. So if you are still craving for some more weirdness then you can pay a visit to this place. While it can be fun to spend some time in such creepy places and getting a glimpse into its dark history, you need to make sure that you visit the other popular tourist destinations too before leaving the city.

Some Other Places

When it comes to the hidden gems of London the first name that appears in the mind is the Highgate Cemetery which is located close to the Park Grand London Lancaster Gate Hotel. Even though you will find plenty of beautiful cemeteries and parks in London this one is extremely special because of the creepy history of this place and the numerous spooky incidents related to it.

The Creepy Cemetery

Long-time back this ground was the site where magicians duelled with each other and according to the locals, there was a time when the entire place used to be full of vampire hunting mobs, that were armed with stakes. So even during the day, you are bound to feel a little creepy standing on this ground.
