Any suggestions of something/ somewhere cool/ fun to go in London?

Answer 1

Go to the Tower of London and take a tour. It is the coolest place... It is this huge castle that you can walk around, and the tour tells you all of the gory history behind it. And you can take a look at all of the royal jewelry.

And at night, go to the Slug and Lettuce. It is this pretty trendy pub type place. It's really fun.

Answer 2

I've just been to a new Thai Restaurant & Bar, which is in some railway arches at the back of Southwark Jubilee line underground station, its really brilliant.

There is also a very large front piazza to the place and you can sit in the sun till quite late. It's one of the Thai Silk Resaturants and the food in here is just as brilliant if slightly better than the one in Waterloo, and I still go to that one as well.

I particularly liked the bar menu and you can eat that outside as well. The waitresses and waiter are really cool and are very willing to help. The night I was there it was really buzzing and a good vibe. If it gets too hot outside it is air conditioned outside. This place is off the main road so there are no cars, lorries or busses blasting by, and it doesn't suffer the tourists tahta you get on the Southbank.

It's great to go here after work and have a great beer, they do buy one get one free, so you can do it quite cheap with your mates from work. I think the address is Joan or Isabella Street, Southwark, SE1

- Go to Camden and take a canal boat trip through the bird cage at the Zoo and all the way up to Little Venice

- The London Dungeon, horror history of London inc the Jack the Ripper tour

- London Zoo

- London Aquarium and look at the sharks

- Tate Modern

- Kew Gardens or Kensington Roof Gardens

- High tea/Afternoon tea at Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, The Dorchester or the Ritz

- Burough market, the oldest foodmarket in Europe

- Go Bowling at the night lanes at Trocadero

- See a show in the West End

- See stand up at the Comedy Store where some of the biggest comedians in Britain was discovered (Rowan Atkinson - Mr Bean among others)

Go to the dog races is Walthamstow

Don't go to Madam Toussaus as it's the biggest rip off ever - save your money and do something enjoyable that Londoners themselves enjoy.

Answer 4

Go to the british mueseum... inside the great court (I think the largest one of it's kind in the world) there is the reading room. Go inside and look at all the books. This used to not be open to the public. Then go up the big stairs on the outside of the reading room and eat some food at the cafe. After that, go into the room with the mummys. Take a look at "Ginger" the oldest known mummy. After that, go down stairs and out the back door... can't remember the street. Turn right and walk to russell square. Get some tea at the cafe in the park and watch the fountain. Bloomsbury rocks the hizz-haus!

Answer 5

Madame Tussauds, London Planetarium - Baker Street

Answer 6

Go on the London Eye. It's the biggest Ferris Wheel in the world.

You don't actually sit down in it though. It's like a capsule and you can walk around. You can get awesome views of the city from there.

Also, go to the Tower of London.

Answer 7

I'd tell you, but as a tourist you'd probably just get in my way. Do try to stand to the right of escalators, especially on the Tube.

I suspect vekswrex thinks London's a shithole because he's only been to tourist(hell)central. The real London's quite charming.

Answer 8

All the things I was going to say seems covered. Also Science Museum is great especially for kids. The parks are beautiful: Regents, Hyde, St James's. Also head east for Canary Wharf and Greenwich area. And if you want a great curry try Brick Lane near Aldgate east tube exit.
