Things To Do In London

[minijc]

Right, I know there are a few people on here from that place, looks like I am heading down there the first week in July for 2 days or so, so can you good people post up a few suggestions for eating out, and sights to go see, also shops to visit?

The London Eye is a must if you haven't done it before.

[minijc]

Ahh yeah, this will be my first time there, looking forward to it and will probably do that, anything else that is a must?

Take one of these boats down the Thames, its pretty good fun, and you get the tourist talk along the way, goes down past the Thames barrier etc etc.

 

Good to do in the morning, and the fresh air will get you invigorated for the day.

 

The Tower of London is only a few minutes away and worth a look http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/?gclid...CFVIB4wodukQzpQ

 

From there you can walk across Tower Bridge and allong the Southbank for the London Eye. Book your tickets before hand, and make sure you get fast-track ones as the queues can be big. http://www.londoneye.com/

 

The London Aqarium is just along from here, but its not the best, and is fairly boring, so I'd give it a miss.

 

The Natural History Museum is pretty awesome, but you'll need a good amount of time to go through it. Worthwhile though.

 

If you want some pre-season football, there a tournament at Wembley around the 24-26 the or something like that with Barca, Celtic, Spurs and one other. Barca/Spurs might be a good shout. If you need tickets let me know.

 

Theres also a preseason at the Emirates, but thats around 1st August and Rangers are involved

 

 

As for restaurants, none are doing particularly well at the moment and almost all have excellent deals. look at www.toptable.com There's plenty with 50% off, but you have to book through the website.

 

Shopping go down Regents Street for a decent variety, and Selfridges on Oxford Street is worth it. If you want sports kit Lllywhites at Piccadilly will be your nly stop.

 

 

As for nightlife. There's plenty of bars in Soho which are really buzzy at night. Go down Dean street amd Greek street and get plotted up outside and watch the World go by.

The Science Museum and the Imperial War Museum are well worth a visit.

 

And if you've never been to London, the open top bus tour is worth a trip too.

You should pop around to his house for brunch or afternoon tea.

My neighbour picked up a 3.0 Diesel for 12K.

Ouch, a weekend in London in the Summer. Good luck. You can barely move in the city at 2pm on a Tuesday.

Wirless is on that weekend as is Take that, the place will be busy but I suppose that may make it more enjoyable, I wouldn't want to go to a place that is usually busy then dead when I am there, would be pointless and not much fun.

There's an ace pub round the corner from Oxford Circus on Argyll Street called the Argyll which is perfect for sitting outside with a pint watching the girls go by. Many an hour has been spent doing that in the last few years.

[Dynamo]

I've only been to London once, was f**king ace. Love the big city buzz.

Imperial War Museum was decent.

Boat on the Thames was good albeit f**king baltic in October.

London Eye was cool.

Might as well have a wonder by Buck House, Downing street and Parliament just to see it.

[Sonic]

It's busy. Have family down South and while London is nice, it's far too crowded for me. It's like Union Street when Primark is 90% off.

[Nig]

Carnaby Street and Covent Garden for shopping, Soho for booze and food and Oyster card for the underground.

[Yoda]

Worth catching a show while you're there too, there's some really good ones going, Lion King and Wicked are both great.

[minijc]

Don't think I'll time for a show as going to see something on Saturday.

The Queen Mary overlooking the London Eye does a mean sausages and mashed potatoes.
