Looking for experiences that are a bit more ‘off the beaten track’ so to speak? Look no further as we guide you through a unique selection of activities we have on offer at Funzing.
The Bloomsbury Loo Tour
WHEN: 10th Feb (Multiple Dates)
WHERE: Bloomsbury, London
This tour travels from Euston Square to Holborn and plumbs into the history of health and hygiene, investigating how the toilet as we know it evolved from scientific discovery and social convention.
Our journey takes us through University College London, where you will learn about the early sanitary reformers, past the British Museum, where you’ll find out what public toilets have to do with women’s rights, and into two pubs with fantastic facilities where we celebrate bathrooms at their best. And of course, along the way, you’ll get our exc-loo-sive trademark tips on where to go!
Why? You may well ask. Because we think they are awfully interesting! Loo Tours are designed by and for adventurous spirits who want to see the world differently, who love history and off-the-beaten-track adventures and who care about important social issues. Come ready to be surprised by the depths of social and political history contained in the humble toilet, and bring your own stories to share!
Experience London as you have never seen it before!

Doga – Yoga With Dogs
WHEN: 11th Feb (Multiple Dates)
WHERE: Shoreditch, London
Join us for a 90 min yoga class in which dogs can roam around freely (off lead ) and distract us with plenty of licks, as we cuddle and bond with our furry beloved.
Doga was a humorous discovery by innovative yoga expert, Mahny Djahanguiri, created when she explored the interconnectedness between her and Robbie (her pooch). Doga has taken the world by storm with Mahny and Robbie showing off their skills on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, The Alan Titchmarsh Show, BBC News and CBS News.
In this experience, you will engage in relaxing and invigorating yoga practice alongside your dog, while bonding with your canine and strengthening your relationship at the same time. You’ll learn new yoga positions and practices that you can take home with you and experience with your pooch every day! This experience is a one of a kind activity that will grow your relationship greatly with your pup, and your dog is guaranteed to love it too!

Mushroom Cultivation for Beginners
WHEN: 18th Feb
WHERE: Hackney Downs, London
Come and learn the basics of mushroom cultivation and explore various techniques for growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms such as Oyster, Reishi, Shiitake and many other strains of fungi.
Mushrooms have been growing in the wild since prehistoric times and their therapeutic value has been prized in indigenous cultures for thousands of years. They play a critical role in medicinal practice and were noted in some of the first books on herbal medicine written thousands of years ago.
In the past few decades, mushrooms have become more popular for their therapeutic qualities in the west as a result of an expanding body of scientific research supporting their numerous health benefits.
This will be a hands-on experience and we will cover everything you need to know to get you started.
The workshop will be lead by Darren who is a keen mushroom grower and teacher. He has been growing edible mushrooms for the last seven years.
