This activity might be a little more expensive than most on our list of things to try in London but surely seeing the city from 1250ft up inside a helicopter is worth spending some money? Departing from Redhill, just outside the city, you will be whisked up into the air by helicopter where you will see sights like Pall Mall, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the skyscrapers of The City from on high. Prices are around £200 per seat and would make a great gift.
