London

what do you want to do? Shopping? The touristy stuff? Nice food and drink?

We're only an hour away by train, so would usually do it in a day, so afternoon showing would be good for that. But a night away is fab also.

I would suggest a whole weekend, running round with a map/camera hanging around your neck/wearing a tall Union Jack hat shouting LONDON BABY! all the time, ala Joey.

You never fail to surprise me H, never been to london town!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! tis amaze!!! if you havtn been, you should defo see the sights,and go to oxford /regent/ bond street shopping! and the eye!!!

PLEASE let me be your tour guide please please please (will wear offical tour guide outfit*

Well I guess I should see the things in London that everyone 'has' to see.

But I don't know what they are ?

This could be a whole other thread...

I think I will need one Flow. When we went to Amsterdam last month I spent the whole time walking around trying to find the red light district and failed! I'm convinced it's all a myth.

I was thinking of getting a nice hotel and seducing H with my lovely concealer lipstick a la Flow-Stylee.

ok, you needa see the London Eye and do Southbank, nice places to eat and drink there, erm, if your doing touristy, leicester square, trafalgar square, and so on!

Harrods!!

Hyde Park!

Oxford Street!

i caN recommend some good ones you know

DO IT! And wear your new crotchless trousers

Camden Market

Hoxton for drinkies and to spot uber trendies that smell like bag ladies

art stuff- southbank

Tourist stuff - palace, tower of london, london eye

Topshop in Oxford street.

Please tell me you wont be a tube ditherer?

I'm not sure, I don't want to come across as too easy.

You haven't mentioned the Queen! I must see Lizzie!

That reminds me, I must write to her beforehand to remind her that I don't like cucumber, do you think she'll swap my sarnies for cheese ones?

Well I was hoping I could just get the bus rather than the tube?

Whenever I've seen the tube on EastEnders and stuff, it looks a little scary.

Covent Garden - shopping and street entertainers (and just a stones throw away from 'Theatre Land')
Go to the Punch and Judy's pub and watch the entertainers from the balcony. Fab, although the door is v hard to find!

Tube not at all scary, just look like you know what you're doing

The bus is worse!

I hate tube ditherers. I huff loudly at them and thier maps trying to decide if they want northbound or southbound. **is an excellent ex- London commuter**

That will be me. ?

apologies in advance.

The tube is vey easy. Tis colour coded and everythink. Not to mention if you are very lucky a perve may rub his crotch on you! everyones a winner.

Really? Do I have to give them a wink or anything to show I'm willing?

just put concealer on your lips, works a charm

Nono, just being there is enough!

I actually don't own any concealer. Shame really as I could have done with some this week to camouflage the humongous boil on my nose.

Ah yes, the Tube pervs. How I miss them. My last one was when my sis was preggers. He was a German man, she thought maybe he wanted to impregnate me too, cept he was aiming to far back....

You know what, I think I'll take H to the local cinema instead.

?

I'd go for a trip on the Thames - one of the ones that goes from the embankment with a commentator - either that or the open topped bus, so you get to find out more of the history and such. London from the Thames is one of the things that makes it feel different from every other city in the UK, in my opinion. I really don't understand why anyone would want to do Oxford Street - it's just like any other shopping street, only busier, in my opinion!

If you want a really nice hotel, the Grosvenor, which is right on top of Victoria Station, is lovely, and very convenient for everything. Haggle if they offer you a room upgrade - we got a deluxe room, breakfast and cocktail vouchers for an extra £35.

Thanks l0vaduck ?

Postman's Park on Little Britain (yep, really is a street name). it;s got plaques onthe wall commemorating brave deeds by ordinary people... you know the sort of thing.."Little Jimmy who died saving his tiny sister from dreadful scalding water hurled out of a window by a recalcitrant chambermaid".....

You'll want to take a trip to the Barnes area.

It's where Rob is from.

I already know.

Is not a stalker.

So you're not the person who is often hovering about near my uncle and aunt's house, just in case Rob is actually there one day?!

No, that's my PA. I have many of them jotted around Rob's known hang outs. Just in case.

As long as I know she's associated with you. I shall tell my aunt and uncle not to worry about her and that she poses them no immediate threat. ?
