If you’re travelling to London this week then you might want to check out the “Get spooky at Museum of London” tour on Thursday 4 September.
Join Museum of London on 4 September for a late night magic and mystery tour of the collections. The Museum of London say:
“Spend an evening gasping at the magical wonders of London street magician Pete Hathway and his award-wining trickery. Take a mystical tour of our galleries, and discover astonishing unseen objects from our collections, from sinister Roman curses to enchanting 18th century witch balls.
Throughout the night we will be playing a magical soundtrack of your choice! Why not suggest a song to be played at Londonist and see if you can win a night of complimentary drinks for you and a friend!”
Drinks are available at the foyer bar throughout the night and you can wander around the permanent collections as much as you like.
Sounds like fun.....

If you fancy a spiced up weekend in New York, you might want to take a look at The Playhouse Room, Soho House.
The hotel rooms are draped with fun and extravagance, perfect for a bit of romantic down time. They incorporate 7ft long hand crafted beds, piled high with the finest quality pillows and linens, a substantial antique chandelier circles the room and huge dinosaur egg stone baths perched on delicate bases.
To top off this hotel room experience, you might want to indulge in the mini bar which includes Ben and Jerry ice cream and love dice for some grown up games.....
Prices start from £505 per night.
Crocosaurus Cove is a new theme park situated in Darwin Australia.
As a novelty, the park is offering to lower tourists into a water tank that contains a Choppa - that’s a 5 and half metre saltwater crocodile for the uneducated… It costs £55 and the catch for the Choppa is that there is 4cm of toughened acrylic between you and him. Umm, basically your a bait tease.....!
The locals aren’t best pleased with this, as there are fears that the Choppa is subjected to unnecessary stress.
Umm, you have to ask the question - why this sort of thing might be considered fun? Beyond me, but there you go.
