1. Check theatre prices.
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 07:06 PM by NYC
When I was there, cheap tickets, great seats. Saw more plays in London than I've seen on Broadway.

Have fun. :hi:

midsummer night's for sure.
london time out is a good source -- i want to see some more avant guard stuff -- but i'll wait til i get there to what's hot.

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.

10. That's cool
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!

:hi:

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