In this week’s episode of Travel in 10, co-hosts David Brodie and Tim Johnson explore what to do on your second (or third!) trip to London, England. If you’ve already checked Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey off your list, this episode dives deeper—exploring the city’s creative corners, lesser-known museums, and one-of-a-kind experiences.
From the street art of Shoreditch to the war bunkers of Winston Churchill, this is your essential guide to uncovering London beyond the tourist trail.
In This Episode:
- Shoreditch Uncovered – Why this East London neighborhood is perfect for return visitors:
- Cutting-edge art, fashion, and nightlife
- A visit to Boxpark Shoreditch, a pop-up market of food stalls, bars, and shops made from shipping containers
- Street art walking tours, including murals by Banksy and insights from local graffiti artists
- Tim’s Favorite Hidden Museums:
- The Crime Museum at New Scotland Yard – A rare and haunting collection usually closed to the public. Original Jack the Ripper letters, counterfeit printing plates, and historic murder weapons.
- Churchill War Rooms – The underground wartime HQ of Britain’s WWII leadership. Walk through the map room, Churchill’s personal bedroom, and experience a powerful look at history in motion.
- Tate Modern – Why even non-art lovers should experience one of the world’s best modern art museums. Housed in a massive converted power station and offering free entry.
Who This Episode Is For:
- Travelers returning to London for a second (or third) time
- Business travelers with time to explore

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
