The Radar: London Day Trips, Maple Syrup Festival, World's Tallest Hotels

• Escape from the hubbub of London with these quiet day trips. In Oxford, families will find plenty to do at the Museum of Natural History and treasure hunting at Christ Church Abbey. Or take a leisurely stroll along Brighton's beach. [Europe a la Carte]

• Over 6,000 flapjacks will be served at the National Maple Syrup Festival kicking off in Medora, Indiana the first two weekends in March. Learn how syrup is made, taste test pure maple syrups or participate in non-syrup related activities like wool spinning, blacksmithing, and needle art. [Jaunted]

• Among the world's tallest hotels is the Baiyoke Tower II in Bangkok, which stands 85 stories tall and offers 673 guest rooms. [Web Urbanist]
