I'd go and see one of the stage plays. I went to Phantom of the Opera when I was there. It was alright, but I was a little disappointed. I hear that Les Miserables is really good though.

It's also fun to just walk around Picadilly Circus and buying random stuff.

ah london's alright, i gotta live here while i do my degree but after i'm outta here....

if you need a guide, don't ask me, i only know mile end, tower hill area and a bit of putney.

How long are you planing to spend over here? there's probably enough in london to keep you busying for about a week is you stretch it out.

Me and maeve should be free from about beginning of april for a few weeks (revision period...pft!) if you do need some advice on what to do, maeve knows more than me she's live in london all her life, i'm just a tourist, i'm pretty sure she'd be able to tell you the best places to go....most of which i think have already been said.

Madam Tusseud's (Bad spelling, I know) was pretty neat if you want to kill an afternoon.

Windsor was pretty cool. You could take a day trip to Stonehenge. The British Museum was awsome, as was Westminster Abbey.

No!!! Come and see Rob (Recusant) and I in Bromley, it's closer to London!! Perhaps this could be an ideal date for a Britassi day out?

I visited my dad last summer, and he had just moved to Windsor (not to the town center, but some fancy pansy wealthy area). I liked the place, even if it was a bit of a tourist trap. The downtown area was idyllic and conveniently small.

The house is a luxury three-story house. My dad is a crazy wife-beating *******, but he's a rich crazy wife-beater *******. He's a niggard, though.

I've actually been to England twice before, I was just seeing what people would say. And I don't think I could see anyone from Massassi, because I am going with my family. Oh well, thanks for the imput guys! Only 8 hours and 50 mins till I leave! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I live near London - most rocking city I've ever been to. Make sure you tour the hell out of Central London. Make DAMN sure you get a London Underground map because it can be confusing at first, and as with any city, watch all bags, pockets and other valuables, though it's not too bad.

I'd recommend Covent Garden if you've got the time, and certainly Oxford and Regent streets (they cross one another). Camden Town's pretty good too. London Zoo if you can manage it...

Hey, look, I could probably fill 6 months holiday for you in London! Oh yeah, Trafalgar Square...

Ok I'll shut up now.
