Any suggestions for things to do in London? My wife and I are going for the first time on Friday and will have just three days. We prefer to avoid overly touristy things with long lines and inflated prices.
idk but St Pauls cathedral and Westminster abbey are pretty amazing places to visit i would feel like i missed something if i didn't walk through the tombs at the abbey Victoria station is a great big train station of incredible proportions and maybe you would want to catch a train to say York minster? lots of cool cities within reach of a day trip
Don't go anywhere else while in London...just stay in one of the greatest cities on the face of the earth. There are tourist traps in every destination in the world pretty much, but it all depends on your interests as a couple. Pretty.much some of the finest museums in the world. The Tate. The RAF museum. Bomber Command. Fighter Command. Transportation museum..awesome! British Natural History. Covent Garden. Go to Harrods - your wife will love it. Imperial War Museum. If you're not acrophobic, ride the London Eye. If you want a side trip...Brighton. Stonehenge. See the White Cliffs of Dover...go to pubs and meet the people...probably the experience you'll cherish most, ultimately. If you get to the East End, give my regards, please, and get to the pub built where they hanged Edward Teach. And whenever you go...stay off the moors.
and by all means mind the gap! i would just walk around as well finding a good place to murder a curry should also be on the agenda w a tall cold kingfisher of course
One hell of a flick...for many reasons. Not the least of which is the Marcels singing "Blue Moon", a flight of fancy for me bringing me back to my do wop days on the corner...and the lovely, luscious, under rated Jenny Agutter, a true Brit treasure. I would Carousel with her anytime...
Edinburgh is one of the places i'd like to go back to not really one for castles but that place is an exception only 3 days so no way that can be done from London i mean it could but its way too much travel just to turn around
Oh, forgot...take the Victoria line to last stop, NE London, and walk the Walthamstow High Street outdoor market. Buy something that just fell off a lorry the day before. Cheap.
Wow. Im actually leaving for London this afternoon. Will spend 5 days then head to Scotland for 2 weeks.. Plan to drink fine whiskey’s, ales etc. family time! Cheers
Could be I'm forgetting and confusing who the varlet really was...someone was definitely hanged there and left to eventually fall into the Thames. Maybe Redbeard, then. Some beard...maybe Casey Blake?
i hope you are spending time in Edinburgh the path to the castle has many a pub serving giant pints of cold Tennents lager the main brewery is in Glasgow but its rare you ever see it stateside just a lager but delicious on tap and truly something you can't find everywhere not sure why but i can never find it in any of the specialty shops
Yeah well spend a few days in Edinburgh but mostly in Blair Atholl, Ft. William, and Isle of Skye. Should be pretty epic. I’ll definitely give your lager a try. Thanks
did not like the haggis lol all this talk of travel is giving me the bug need to finish a couple of things and go and yet my next trip is probably OKC
I love England. Studied there and didn't want to come back. This was before wife and kids and a mortgage and....well some of you would know. Haggis and blood sausage is awesome. I like offal. If you are into food, go to the Mecca of snout to fail cuisine. St. John's in Smithfields. Not hip. Not a tight male jeans kinda place, but revolutionary food. Fergus Henderson launched whole style of cooking that was familiar pretty much everywhere but not so much in the Western world. He made that stuff gourmet. Ox heart. Marrow bones. Sweetbreads. Blood cake. Tripes. An entire roasted pigs head. Not kidding, awesome and one of the more important restaurants in modern time.
