Thread: London

I am going to London next Tuesday Feb 22. I was wondering if anyone here have any tips as to weather, places to go eat, shop, etc.

Would appreciate any tips.

Thank you

Ive been there three times, and loved every moment. if you like art, check out the tate! if you like waffles, make sure you eat the liege waffles from the stands! tower of london was a lot of fun, and really interesting. Piccadily circus was cool, manchester united vs chelsea was the greatest thing ive ever seen live! ummm, dont waste your time to see the changing of the guard... its really lame.

be sure to take the tube, its an experience as well as the taxis. westfield mall was pretty bad ass as well. Burberry is cool to go to, as well as most of soho. harrods is amazing, and go on an empty stomach as there is a shit load of food to eat. The nike store is really cool as well. I will try to add more

thank you .. keep the suggestions coming. this is my first time in there so i am sure i will have a long list before i leave. thanks in advance

do you want to do tourist like stuff?

i will gladly post my first time itinerary.

i went for like 5 days, but decided id stay for 11.

part tourist part insider tips, going for 5 days as of now

Saw changing of the guard just because. Like Mikey said, definitely not something you'll remember. I actually took a really cool double decker tour all through London, well worth the money, and I didn't have to shuttle taxi's all over. Saw everything I wanted in a few hours, and could hop on and off the buses when I wanted to see something for longer.

I'll have to get a list going for you. It was hotter than HELL when I was in london. Packed the WRONG way. Then I headed off to Scotland for a week, and it was more of what I was expecting.

all i am hoping for now is nice weather and no rain so i can explore more happily. i am open to all suggestions and will make my list and see what places gets more votes..

I went there last summer for 5 weeks. Loved every second of it. The Absolut Ice Bar is really cool. You should also check out the Camden Locks marketplace.

I went during this time, and its cold! Not like a cold you know either. its is like a wet cold!
