One of the weirdest attractions to visit in London is the Hardy Tree. It is located in a cemetery near the St. Pancras Old Church. Keep in mind that the Hardy Tree is not an ordinary tree. The story of this unusual tree began in the 1860s when Thomas Hardy needed to move hundreds of graves for the British Railway System. He was able to move the remains; however, hundreds of tombstones were left. As a solution, he placed them around a tree. After 150 years, the tree’s roots have grown under, over, and around the old tombstones that Thomas Hardy discarded there.

Viktor Wynd’s Museum of Curiosities

Viktor Wynd’s Museum of Curiosities is the lifelong project of Viktor Wynd. It is a museum with an art gallery. The weird part is that it also contains a lot of odd items, including taxidermized animals, anatomical anomalies, skeletons, and many more unusual artifacts. Because of this strange collection, most people who visited this museum were left with more queries than answers.
