London

[ynbniar]

Visiting London this weekend...big place, lots to see, just a day to see it in.

So Londoners out there what is the one thing we shouldn't miss - The Eye? The Tate? The Tower? Something Completely Different

[RabidZombie]

I have to visit the Tate on Wednesday. *bashes head against table*

I find it suspicious I'm going to an undisclosable event this Friday, in London, as well.

I recommend visiting Little Bay in Battersea for the food and live opera. If you do go, make sure to check out the wallpaper in both the men's and women's toilets.

Check out the east side of London such as Liverpool Street for Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Bethnal Green. You will find the most intersting things, sites and places to eat, drink, shop. A real inside look into London.

Check out the north and west side of London for the living.

Check out the west for quality assurance.

Check out London Time out.

The Tate Modern can be a good laugh sometimes. There were slides there once. The Science Museum is worth a look, especially since it's free.

Not sure what else there is, those are about all I can remember

[tabasco boy]

definitely science museum is a thing not to miss especially their souvenir store as they sell unique electronics you usually don't see on other shops.

Also stop by Hamleys toy store just to browse around and lastly pubs in around hyde park

ohh and on the afternoon watch the changing of the guards at the palace..

There's also the natural history museum which isn't bad really :p

Oh and there isn't much to the south*, unless you're also going a bit west and end up somewhere nice like Greenwich.

that doesn't sound bad, actually chris could make a small tourist shop (sell IV memorabilia and collectable items) at the hamster for those IV fans dropping by London in general. im sure extra income wouldn't harm at all.

Did someone say Foamwinians!?

[shinygerbil]

They fly well, apparently. We shall have to see if they are any good at smashing windows

The museums are very busy at weekends and are hardly worth it unless you want to see something specific.

My favourite bits of London are all quite close and you can walk between them:

- Hyde Park (go to Speakers Corner on Sunday)
- Buckingham Palace, St. Jame's Park and Westminster
- Leicester Square, China Town, Covent Garden, Soho

Foyles! No, seriously, I love that place

[shinygerbil]

Foyles! No, seriously, I love that place

Agreed.

Hopefully I won't run into trouble with people who aren't letting me go that easily when I return...

That would be fun:

"Do you have permission from your parents to go back to your own country? Well, do you?"

"Do you have permission from your parents to go back to your own country? Well, do you?"

What if one doesn't? What would they (customs) do? Hold them for unauthorized exit out of a country
