Secret London things to do near Oxford Street in London

Oh London town I love you so

No streets of gold but secrets untold.

Listen to those people not in the know

And they’ll tell you to go where everyone goes.

–

But you see London’s way more than that

To be honest, no one knows where everything’s to be had.

It’s impossible to confine this city

Events and things to do pop up too quickly.

–

As an example take the Apple store

They’ve had secret music gigs, comedy and lots more.

And what about Selfridges further up the street

Some of their events are totally off beat.

–

You see there are so many things always going on

After a few weeks everyone’s forgotten it even though it’s not gone.

So the two secret events I want to mention now

Weren’t secrets when they first came out.

But now their promos are over and done

Go to them and you’ll probably be the only one.

–

Take Hollywood through the lens at the Getty Images Gallery

Absolutely fascinating and you don’t have to pay any money.

The exhibition isn’t that big but the photos are great

If I had a grand I’d buy the Brando one make no mistake.

–

When I was there I was the only one

But don’t be shy the people working there are lots of fun.

They’ll leave you to it so you can take your time

No crowds to rush you or bunting you from behind.

–

Then just 10 minutes from there

It’s the Carnaby photo and film history affair.

With the Swinging Sixties in all it’s glory

And Carnaby Street at the centre of the story.

–

Again it’s not very big but it’s fun

There’s 60′s music in the background and a film going on.

There’s lot’s to read and things to find out

So if you’re interested in that period it’s definitely worth a shout.
