LOL London is an awesome city. It's major drawback is that it so fecking expensive.

Tower of London, Tate Modern, and London Eye are my top 3 reccos.


Plz to avoid new bond street at all costs as it will bleed all monies form ur pockets most sharpishly.

Also, pls to avoid all advice of any random manucunians in this thread. Silly northern savages simply don't appreciate southern civilization. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Go to the London Eye first to avoid big queues, then cross the river to Houses of Parliament. Then walk up the Mall, stopping to take in Downing Street, all the way to Trafalgar Square. From there, you can head to Covent Garden for a bit. After, go back to Traf Sq, and head for Leicester Square/the West End. Oxford St is around there too. You can walk the whole of Oxford St and Marble ARch and Hyde Park is at the other end. The Park is nice for a walk. Sometimes you get various loonies speaking next to the Arch (Speaker's Corner), and that can be amusing.

If you cross the park, you can head towards Knightsbridge and visit Harrods. Also, not that far from Harrods is Buckingham Palace and St James Park, and then you're a couple of miles from Houses of Parliament again.


You can then go back to the London Eye, walk along the river the other way, and eventually get to the Millennium Bridge, over which you can cross to get to St Pauls. Assorted figures from British History are buried here - Nelson for example - and there are memorials to all the services in the form of statues etc. There are also memorials to all our allies in assorted wars, including American troops.

I don't live in London any more, but Vavavoom does, so he might be worth asking about clubs etc.
