REGENTS CANAL KAYAKING - LONDON

Experience Regents Canal like never before with this fantastic tour of the picturesque sites of London. WIth an experienced BCU tour guide, you'll be out exploring the canal.

This magnificent Regent's Canal tour gives you a great opportunity to enjoy the sights of London while indulging in the sport of Kayaking. Seeing the sights of central London from a kayak is an unusual and exciting adventure. Paddle along in your own kayak on Regents Canal passing Regents Park Zoo towards the buzz of Camden Town and the old English Camden lock. Get up close and personal to the Giraffe House and Snowdon Aviary from your very own first class seat. The experience will last 90 minutes and will start with a full safety briefing. Your fully qualified British Canoe Union Instructor will then take you along Regent's Canal on an unforgettable adventure! Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre, either just before sunrise or just before sunset, your Thames River Kayak experience will begin by meeting the instructors and getting into your gear for the day. The Regents Canal Tour will then begin (and end at) Primrose Hill Bridge as you, the group and the BCU qualified instructor paddle towards Camden Town passing by a range of fantastic landmark sights, such as London Zoo, Snowdon Aviary and the Giraffe House. You will also pass Cumberland basin and head towards Little Venice, the Royal Park of Regents Park and Lords Cricket Grounds on this wonderful River Thames Kayaking journey.






BUNGEE JUMP IN LONDON

Experience the ultimate thrill of Bungee Jumping next to the London O2 Arena! Experience the drop from 160ft outside the famous building in our Capital City!
Adding to our bungees in London, we've managed to get another fantastic jump in the Capital City! The success and enjoyment of the Exclusive Central London Bungee Jump persuaded us to seek other places to hurl ourselves out of a 160ft high cage, and here it is next to the O2! The stunning setting of the O2 Arena adds an extra visual dimension to the experience that you won't ever forget!

Once you've arrived and been welcomed to the centre, you will be required to complete a Bungee Jump membership form. You will then be weighed twice, ensuring that the correct bungee rope is used for your jump. It is then time for you to get harnessed and strapped in by the ankles! The professional instructors are uber-safety-conscious and perform extensive safety checks, further extending your anticipation of what's about to come! You will then enter the cage where you will be lifted to a height of circa 160ft. Now all you have to do is jump off! There will be a digital video and merchandise available for you to buy on the day to remember your experience with.

Full Description

The fully guided tour will take you behind-the-scenes of one of the world’s greatest football teams, giving you access to areas normally reserved for players and officials.

Temporary change to accessibility access at Chelsea FC this summer:

To begin the construction of the new Stamford Bridge stadium, the East Stand roadway at Chelsea FC will be closed to vehicles from 21 May until 3 August, during which time stadium tours will take a slightly different route but still include the same classic areas such as the Press Room, Dressing Room and Players Tunnel. Unfortunately, this closure means that wheelchair users will be unable to take the full tour during this period. Those affected will be able to enter the stadium free of charge using the Matthew Harding Stand for guided stadium experience.
