St Paul's Cathedral is free to enter on each Sunday for worship.
Many thanks for the info re the Lord Mayor's Show. I've just been watching the river procession via webcam and saw the arms of Tower Bridge rising and the various vessels passing underneath. Pity about the weather - the entire scene was in various shades of grey!
Thanks! Thought I'd nearly exhausted the London list of QI free attractions, but there are a couple here that I've not been to previously.

The Guildhall Art Gallery is great - and surprisingly quiet on some Saturday afternoons.
"incredibly different to forge"
"in a badly proofread sentence above"!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

If I knew about the St Paul's tip, I'd forgotten it again, so thanks!
the new Police Museum is close to the City Business Library, which I visit regularly (nowadays to read the papers and magazines), I'll have a look next time I'm there.
Sometimes there are events in the square outside the Guildhall, last year I saw, by chance because I was passing through, the annual Cart Marking Ceremony

when examples of all commercial vehicles used within the City of London are branded by the Worshipful Company of Carmen. I stayed to watch, there was a long procession of every imaginable vehicle, including some very old ones.
Can't believe I'd never heard of the Guildhall Art Gallery. Went to that and the police museum today, both brilliant, thanks for the recommendation.

Can I make a very boring suggestion for a future random trivia article like your department stores one a few weeks ago. Which standard sized supermarket (no littles, expresses or locals) not attached to a department store is located closest to the centre of London (thereby excluding Waitrose Oxford Street). Perhaps Waitrose and Sainsbury's in Angel?
@Sean
Define "centre"

The big Sainsburys at Nine Elms was probably a good contender, but it has been demolished to make way for a tube station.

@Sean
Waitrose Bloomsbury at The Brunswick (WC1). Definitely not small.

@timbo
The replacement Sainsbury's at Nine Elms is already open on the same site, and is much bigger. 3 hours free parking as well, so probably the closest weekday free parking deal to central London as well.

@timbo Hmmm, let's go for the standard Charing Cross for the centre!
Thanks DG.
I Went to visit on Sat afternoon, was great. Shame about the traveller type of amusement rides out side as well as a doughnut stall. No one bothered as it was drizzley.

I wouldn't have know unless i'd read the post
