London has much to offer with its nightlife, so why not take a walk on the wildside? This Thursday, the London Wetland Centre is doing its annual Big Batty walks. You get armed with an Echolocator (a device that detects the high-pitched squeek bats use to navigate) and a torch to discover some of the creatures of the night by the fantastically beautiful lagoons. You will also find the usual signs of civilisation as the centre has its own restaurant which serves fresh hot and cold food throughout the day, and a shop.
The centre is found down Queen Elizabeth Walk in Barnes, nearest tube stop is Hammersmith and then a "duck bus", or easily reached via the A3.

Summertime... And The Living Is Easy
With most of the high-living, jet setting glamourous party people of London away in Ibiza and Cannes, what is there to do in this great city of ours over the summer?
The list is endless... you could take a boat along the Thames, go up in the world by taking a trip on the Millenium Wheel, visit a museum, or perhaps go to Madame Tussauds. If you are more of a nature lover or a bird-spotter like Springwatch celebrity Chris Packham, then visit the London Wetland Centre or one of the many beautiful parks: Richmond Park (which has some fantastic lakes to while away the hours in the sunshine), Hyde Park, or the spectacular gardens in Regents Park that reseamble a tropical paradise this time of year. The only limit is your own imagination, so what are you waiting for?
