      Think you've seen London? Handwritten Beatles lyrics, cat mummies from Ancient Egypt and the world's most whimsical department store.

        Meet the spooky cat mummies at the British Museum

        Much is said about the British Museum's mummies of Ancient Egypt but perhaps less well-known are their feline companions.

        That's right, cat mummies. Cats ruled in Ancient Egypt, they were considered sacred.

        Cats owned by important people were often mummified, and the British Museum exhibit shows a cat that has been wrapped rather elaborately. You'll never look at your pet moggie the same way again.

        Browse Liberty, the department store in an eccentric country house

        Liberty is a department store with a difference. From the outside it looks like a country house from the Tudor period – all black and white wood panelling and leaded windows. There’s an off-kilter, slightly eccentric feel too. Its timbers come from navy ships, and its founder was inspired by Eastern Bazaars.

        Step inside and it’s rather magical. Small wood-panelled rooms tumble into one another – full of nooks and crannies and bursting with all manner of decadent products. Browse high-end fashion, homewares and beauty products from some of the best brands around.

        See the world’s most famous bed at the V&A

        The Bed of Ware is an incredibly large bed that lives at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

        Curators call it ‘One of the V&A’s greatest treasures,’ and it was even mentioned by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night! So what’s so special about it? Well, it’s 3 metres wide for starters – with enough room for 4 couples (ahem).

        It became a bit of a thing to have slept in it, and visitors began to carve their names into its heavy oak frame – perhaps that’s where the phrase ‘another notch on the bedpost’ originates?

        Sup a pint in a pub built by Sir Christopher Wren

        London is full of old pubs with magnificent histories.

        Take the Old Bell Tavern on Fleet Street – built by renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren to give people working on his St Bride’s Church designs somewhere to get a drink.

        Wren, who also designed St Paul’s Cathedral, was rebuilding the capital after the Great Fire of London had wiped much of it out in 1666. 

        By the 1700s Fleet Street was home to the nascent newspaper industry and the early printers were soon making the Bell Tavern their own

        Today, you'll still find a solid pint and an authentic atmosphere.

        Snap a selfie at world-famous Piccadilly Circus

        The huge, iconic advertising boards have made Piccadilly Circus in London’s West End one of the world’s most recognisable places.

        Known as the Piccadilly Lights, the advertising boards have carried the slogans of everyone from Coca-Cola and McDonald’s to Samsung and Burberry – Coke has been there ever since 1955!

        The lights are incredibly high tech these days, with a new screen dubbed the Curve – a 103 metre, full-motion display.

        But Piccadilly Circus has been lit up by advertising since the early 1900s. Why? Around 71,760,000 people walk past Piccadilly Lights every year.

        Read John Lennon’s handwritten Beatles lyrics at the British Library

        The best band the world has ever seen? Probably. The Beatles changed the face of popular culture in the '60s and created some of the 20th century's most enduring songs.

        Their appeal has endured from one generation to the next. And now you can see the original lyrics as written by Lennon and McCartney at the British Library.

        Scrutinise early versions of hugely important Lennon songs like In My Life and Strawberry Fields Forever – both of which reflect his Liverpool childhood – in the author's own, unmistakable hand.
