Give your arms a work out and see London like you’ve never seen it before (unless you regularly kayak through the city) with these specialist tours through London’s waterways. Kayak Tours (www.londonkayaktours.co.uk) offer a choice of one or two hour sessions, which will take you from an old English pub in Thames Ditton, down to Hampton Court – while those who don’t fancy the ard paddle upstream can take the more leisurely trip through the Regents Canal.
Depending on which you choose, you might get a bottle of bubbly and lunch too. Beginners are also welcome to request tuition.
