Located on the banks of the Thames in Barnes, The London Wetland Centre is a 43 hectare reserve developed on the site of disused Victorian reservoirs, and is one of the best urban areas in the world to watch wildlife. The London Wetlands Centre is home to rare and beautiful wildlife including Bitterns, Kingfishers and a colony of endangered Water voles, and has free guided tours and bird feeds twice a day. If you need some time out from the hustle and bustle of London, then this is worth a visit.

I was given a 2CV tour as a gift the first time I visited Paris, and it’s the single most memorable experience I had. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it is to relax in the back of a Citroen 2CV as it bounces and rattles around Paris. The chauffeur obviously loved driving his 2CV (they have an entire fleet of them!), and told me all sorts of intriguing little facts about Paris that would never make it into a guide book.
One of the nicest things about the tour was the way that people on the street would react when they saw the 2CV, people of all ages would smile and wave - it seems that Paris loves the 2CV as much as Rome loves the Fiat Bambino. This is something you absolutely must do when in Paris, and is a wonderful introduction to the city. This is up there with visiting the Eiffel Tower. Highly recommended.
