When I was there, cheap tickets, great seats. Saw more plays in London than I've seen on Broadway.
Have fun. :hi:

| 2. Don't miss the London Museum. |
|
That old standby The Tower of London is also most impressive. More impressive, in my opinion, than Stonehenge.

| 7. From the Tower of London |
|
Go across Tower Bridge and make fun of David Blaine in his plastic box! You might even like to lob a burger at him or something!
As to other things to do, I like Camden a LOT and I think there is even a Dean meetup in London on the 1st! I won't be around London till the 4th though. Covent Garden is something else that tends to be quite popular.
And gay Bars? I think there are a few in Soho but that's not really something that I go in for personally.

See your inbox for details of the meetup. I should also mention the Astoria on Tottenham Court Road for gay shenanigans.

| 5. A day trip to Windsor is always fun! |
|
And, the Queen might even be 'at home'. BTW, Windsor Castle is a great old English castle prominently set in a quaint village. You can't miss it after leaving the train station. It's a short walk. Lots to see here!
And, don't forget another great day trip to Hampton Court. If you love English history, I'd recommend either or both of these!
Have fun!

| 11. Also very cool is the Imperial War Museum |
|
Though it's nowhere near as cool as the one in Liverpool.
