Good idea, I've done a few of these - they are fab.

I suggest Prisoner of Second Avenue at The Vaudeville on The Strand, with the incredible Jeff Goldblum. Went to see it last night.... and loved it.

For daytime, book a visit to the Dennis Severs Museum in Follgate Street near to Spittalfields Market. It's unique.

It is - I recommend Dennis Servers House too.

We could go past these places on the motorcycle, dear Rosie, so you can decide what to do ;)

Donald Severs house - seconded. Great place, can follow it with a Brick Lane curry.

Definitely go and see Prisoner of Second Avenue. Goldblum at his neurotic frenetic best. A comic genius. Love love loved it.

If you like heights, do go up Monument but also you can go up the Tower at Westminster Cathedral. And Tower 42 of course.

And visit the Michelin Building if you've not been. It's so beautiful. Then wander up to Harrods for a laugh.

Too late for this year , but I hope it happens again next year for everyone;'s diary.

Every Friday this August London Zoo opened late under the imaginative title of "Zoo Lates". Bars, selling wine, beer and cocktails, and caterers selling good burgers, picnics and other good food were set up in tents and it was possible to wander around seeing the animals while sipping a Mojito or glass of Pimms.

All good fun - while watching the "Silent Disco" where all the dancers were wearing headphones and could hear the music but observers couldn't was hilarious. See the "naked ape" ate it's strangest.

Recommended - a little more sun would have helped but still fun.
