Excellent comfy helicopter, everyone gets a view of some sorts. Ask in advance to get the pilot seat!!
Very short flight, along the river, could easily have stayed up a lot longer. Good value when bought through a voucher site!

Our Free Jumping sessions are a great way to get a work out, bust some stress or have some serious fun. It’s best to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your session so we can check your form, show you a quick safety video and kit you out with your Mega socks. Remember, they’re yours to keep so you can wear them whenever you fancy a session at MegaJump.
I attended my god child's bday party with my two kids. The kids had so much fun apart from a watcher who was telling my 4. Year old not to walk on the trampoline because its not allowed while letting other children walk. Some staff are friendly and some are not

So 30 of us came to Mops and brooms in Borehamwood - second time we eat as a group at this gastro bub - Xmas festive set menu with 4 choices for starters mains Deserts - all food excellent - what let them down was inconsistent service - friendly but disorganised - spoiled the evening a bit - saving grace was the quality of the food

Welcome to Flying Pig Helicopters, a unique, family friendly Helicopter Flying School based at London Elstree Aerodrome, UK, set in the peaceful Hertfordshire countryside and just moments away from the City of London and its incredible skyline. We offer PPL(H) training and once in a lifetime gift experiences!
I've read some of the bad reviews left for Flying Pigs and honestly they're a load of tosh.
It's entirely reasonable that you shouldn't be allowed loose items during the flight, I wouldn't have wanted someone faffing about with their camera near the controls of the helicopter!
Secondly, I refuse to believe they are pushy with selling the pictures, the blonde lady that served us just gave us the option and left us to decide. Yes they aren't cheap but when are photos from events ever cheap?
Me and my mum took some photos by the barrier with my DSLR and the photos were great, with the telephoto lens I could see myself clearly in the 'copter.
All in all, it was a great experience. Wouldn't have been able to afford without getting it via groupon though. The only slight negative I can say is they did charge me a sum for using the voucher one week after expiry. Wasn't much at all but just a little unnecessary I think. However it was also my fault for buying it just as I was about to go on a long holiday to Australia.
Thanks guys!

Well, just gone there this weekend screen quality really, better than I expected from my first impression from the cinema structure. Cinema his dated, could a bit of updating on seats, toilets and at least a painting. Team is friendly.

We came for the Children in Need pre-record segments so we got to see four acts altogether as well as the warm up act who acted as Compere
We arrived an hour earlier than suggested and were just at the head of the small entrance lane, behind us the queue grew steadily
Once inside a large canteen (but with few seats and tables) refreshments were available at a charge but I would recommend eating before arrival as the hot food on offer wasn't up to much
The organisation was a little disordered at times but nonetheless it all worked with out any major aggravation
One major problem was a shortage of female loos
there were only three stalls and the queue for the loo was enormous as the majority of the audience was made up of women - this really needs fixing BBC
Being a part of the audience was a great experience, we had a lengthy reset break and the queues for both the ladies loo and tea/Coffee were long again in no time
I really do think that water and/or Tea/Coffee should be complimentary as it is easy to become dehydrated standing in a warm studio for hours, ye sits all for charity but the audience gave generously to the collecting bucket (we were told it was a record) and we are also giving our time (as well as the performers, so a free drink in thanks i feel would be in order
A highlight was Ore Oduba working the corridor as we were lining up to re-enter the studio and he kindly posed for photos and selfies for many including a lovely photo of him and my wife that I took quickly - a big shout out and thank you to him personally
Do yous e nay stars?
Well we saw Danny Dyer drive out and an actress form Holby City (pretty sure it was Eleanor Fanyinka) went past waving and smiling
Be prepared to spend a lot of time in queues - often outside, wrap up warm, be patient and enjoy

This museum is situated on the second floor of Borehamwood library.This replaces the museum that used to be in a shop in a side street.
The museum is not large.There are displays about the old way of shopping and a timeline showing how the town had grown.
At the back there are two large display screens.On these you can listed to the memories of former workers at the many studios that used to operate in the area.this was my main reason for visiting.I am a bit hard of hearing and found the sound rather soft.Anyway quite interesting.

Meadow Park is the stadium of Boreham Wood FC, a team in the fifth tier of the English football league system. Meadow Park is also where Arsenal's academy team play the majority of their games. On the Monday evening I visited Meadow Park, Euro 2016 plater Jack Wilshere was playing with the academy team as he was trying to get match fit after a lengthy injury.
The stadium is what you could expect from a stadium with 1,400 seats and a maximum capacity of 4,500. On this occasion we may have been around 300 spectators that watched WBA, despite Jack's presence, beat Arsenal 2-1.
