London is a key travel location for many. But most people visiting London for the first time are only aware of extremely few popular travel sights, such as Big Ben, the London Eye, and Hyde Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, London is a lot more than just these popular landmarks. And if you take the less beaten path and start emerging yourself in the English culture and the local communities, you will be able to discover a handful of unique places that must be visited while being there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three such places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s Own Junkyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When talking about neon signs, you might first think about the extravagant Las Vegas or some classic venues from the ’30s. London will never be your first thought. However, the city shows a passion for the classic neon signs that anybody can visit at\u00a0God\u2019s Own Junkyard gallery<\/a>. The place provides visitors with a psychedelic experience and the ability to explore the depths of the neon world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in East London in an industrial site, the gallery offers quite a unique and colorful experience. You can see anything from Soho signs to materials used in professional shoots and to classic English pub signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gallery also features a coffee place, The Rolling Scones Caf\u00e9 in case you want to take a break and internalize everything. God\u2019s Own Junkyard is opened every weekend with a free entrance, making this experience available to everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hippodrome Casino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

London is famous around the world for many things but, gambling is not necessarily one of them. If you want to gamble you can go to the classics like Las Vegas and Macau. However, while you are in London you should still check out the Hippodrome<\/a> Casino as this place it\u2019s not just about gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated in Leicester Square, this casino represents the go-to place for English gambling enthusiasts for more than 100 years. The venue features a 180-seat theatre that\u2019s constantly featuring outstanding jazz, soul, cabaret and burlesque shows. You can also take a break at one of the six bars located on the premise of the casino or, to enjoy a good meal at the Heliot Steak House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Twinings Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea is, of course, a well-recognized English symbol. This passion for tea can be understood by exploring the\u00a0story of Twinings<\/a>, which can be easily accomplished by visiting the 300-year-old Twinings tea store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twinings represents one of the first tea merchants that has been providing UK\u2019s royal households with beverages for centuries. The Twinings Caf\u00e9 located on the Strand first opened in 1706. Although many changed since then, people can still explore its story while enjoying a good cup of tea over at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
