Mind the Gap While Touring London's Historic and Haunted Underground

"Mind the Gap" t-shirts and color-coded maps of London's famed Underground system are all-too-common souvenirs for tourists who trek to the UK. But few know much about the historic transport network, other than that it's hellishly busy during rush hour.

Insider London is offering Underground-themed tours for train aficionados, or those who've stopped by quintessential city landmarks and are looking to see London through fresh eyes. If its cocktail hour factoids you want, then you'll certainly get them, from learning about the man behind the "Mind the Gap" voice to the Central Line's ghost station.

London's Cutting-Edge Green Tours

Have you heard green is in?

All kidding aside, we like travel opportunities that give us a chance to feel a little less guilty about our carbon footprint. So we're excited that Insider London, which already offers cool tours of gay London, quirky London and one focused entirely on interior design, recently debuted London's Cutting Edge Green Tours.

Billed as "A three-hour crash course in sexy sustainability," the tour with 26-year-old guide Cate Trotter shows visitors some of London's best eco-spots, such as Britain's first hydrogen-powered building; floating gardens in the Thames that produce renewable energy; some cute vintage shops and Earth-friendly places to grab food.

The best part is the tours limit groups to eight people, so you lose a bit of that whole embarrassing I'm-clearly-on-a-tour thing.
