Tube Tunnels as giant immersive flip books. We all travel miles and miles underground everyday through black tunnels. The Tube carriages have all got amazing windows to look outside of the train at... well, nothing. Wouldn't it be nice if the walls of the tunnels were covered in series of pictures that vary gradually from one to the next, so that when the trains goes through the tunnel they get animated? This way you could watch short films in between two or more stations. This could led to developing a tube-specific form of narrative where one stop equals one episode and the entire line would be the full story. You could then build combinations of storylines between the various lines and branches, based on where the people change line more often (data courtesy of the mighty Oyster). People would be entertained and learn something while commuting or they could actually start using the tube not just in a functional way but to watch great stories unfolding in front of their eyes and keep going until the end of the line just to see how the story goes! anyway, let's not get carried away, maybe I should mention as well that you could sell more advertising space...?

A swimming lane system on Oxford Street, people who want to walk slowly and browse you walk on the inside of the pavement (nearest the shops), people who have got to go places and are in a hurry walk on the outside (nearest the road). This would stop all the pushing, shoving, barging, dodging, frustration, pain etc that walking on Oxford Street causes!!

Annual Open Labs Day...Similar to Open House Weekend, but celebrates our city's vast and under-appreciated science culture. The public get to question real scientists in working labs, and explore London's scientific history (Darwin, Newton, Hooke, Faraday, Franklin, Jenner, Davy, Maxwell...) through open days at places like the Royal Society, Royal Institution etc.

Instead of the Oyster machines making the same beeping noise when you go through, each one has a different musical note, such as a piano key.
