I will be in London, UK for 12/24/06 - 1/2/07?

Question

What should I do?

I understand the date mix up people. No need to repeat that the month and day are switched around another 50 times.

GOT IT.

Answer 1

First thing is make clear which dates you mean. Everywhere outside USA 1/2/07 means first of February, so it is safest to spell the month when emailing hotels in UK and in fact anywhere.

Second, take a bus tour of the capital,listen to the guide and decide whatyou want to see more of. Then get a travel card and use the busses and tube to see them.

lastly, have a great time.

Answer 2

Londoner meet on Trafalgar Square for the new year ( and freeze ..)

Otherweise, you might take an audio guide instead of the Tourist Bus (cheaper and more flexible). The one from the source is free and covers
1 Kensington Palace 2 Hyde Park 3 Buckingham Palace 4 Downing Street 10 5 Westminster Abbey 6 Houses of Parliament and Big Ben 7 London Eye/Millennium Wheel 8 Piccadilly Circus 9 British Museum 10 National Gallery 11 Regent's Park 12 Trafalgar Square 13 Saint Paul's Cathedral 14 Tower Bridge 15 Tower of London

Answer 3

As was said over here we say 24/12/06 to 2/1/07 the day comes before the month not the other way round.
There are lots of things to do museums,shopping,alsorts, so come have a great time what ever you do.

Hi

There's a Londion guide here from the tourist people http://www.enjoyengland.com/where/destinations/london/dg.aspx

with links to accommodation etc too and maps.

Personally, if it's your first time I recommend:

Take the combined bus and boat tour - you must sail from Westminster/The London Eye out to Greenwhich for a true appreciation of the sites. http://www.londonducktours.co.uk/

Go to Greenwhich and see the view across London (go on the London Eye, too) and of course do the obvious sites listed on the above link.

For restaurants etc, I recommend: http://www.timeout.com/london/
