While the dictionary description of 'weird' hails it as 'suggesting something supernatural or unearthly', we here at DesignMyNight simply see weird as something to do on a Saturday night. From cat themed festivals and pirate parties of the future to unusual dining and immersive theatre, when it comes to some of the most unusual things to do in London, this list will pretty much have you covered.
