London calling

[anise_anise]

Two posts in less than a week. Impressed? I sure as fuck am. I'm generally to lazy to sign in. I'm not sure if this is a sign of the end of the world, but I'm certainly not ruling it out.

So I'm going to London in a few days time, (I know, flying again, I have more medication so I should be okay) and I really really really could use any tips for

I've only been a couple of times but I'll echo seshat1 and recommend the Natural History Museum. It's free and full of really interesting exhibits about dinosaurs, space, evolution, ect. You could easily spend most of your day in there though so it's maybe worth picking what you'd like to see most if you end up going.

I'm not sure about taxi prices but he tube is handy for travelling from place to place once you're settled in if it's not during rush hour and you can buy day passes (called Oyster Cards) which you can top up at pay stations. I'm not going to link you though because the tube website scared the crap out of me before I went to London the first time. I found it much easier to get a map and work it out, it was easy after the first couple of goes working things out.

And the weather over here can only be described as schizophrenic lately. One minute humid, the next pooring down with rain and chilly. I hope it's nice when you come because we keep having some random days of gorgeousness but I'd bring some layers with you too. And a brolly, but they sell them everywhere in London anyway so you wouldn't need to bring one!

I hope you all have an awesome time when you come. Gage will have a blast, I'm sure of it. London is one of my favourite cities!

Are you going to the west end to see a show whilst you're there? Amazing experiance. I went to see Lion King a couple of years ago and it blew me away. I'd definately recommend it if you're looking for things to do in the evening.

Thank you for the link, we're going to check it out. :D I figure that once I get there and actually get on the tube, it won't seem so intimidating.

Ha! I can handle the humid, god knows it's stupid hot here, but the chilly will be odd for me this time of year. We're taking mostly jeans and then lots of layers. I'm going to be careful and try not to go too insane packing.

We don't have a show booked through the foundation, but it's definitely something we've been thinking of. It will depend on the prices and such. And how are YOU?? How's things? How's the little man?? I miss you!!!!!

Nah, it's not that bad at all. You can work out where you need to get off at most places and the maps are all colour coded- you'll be fine!

They have ticket booths dotted around the center of the city and if you just as them what's available last minute you can usualy pick up some sweet deals. That's what we did and we got them so much cheaper than booking ahead.

I'm good thanks! There's lot going on over here at the moment, I've got a couple of months left before I qualify as a staff nurse (if I don't get locked away in a nut house before then mind) and the little monster is wonderful! He's just started to walk and more often than not is prancing around the house like a Gibbon, one hand on his belly, the other above his head);

I miss you too, of course!!! I don't hang around LJ much anymore, but I happened to log on and see your pictures the other day and now this! I hope you're okay, otherwise (I'm sure two holidays so close together are doing wonders for your nerves! :P).

Good for you with the nursing stuff!! I'm so proud! You won't have to be locked away, girl. If they haven't locked my crazy ass up then you've got nothing to worry about.

OMG he is sooooo gorgeous!!! That hair! Those eyes! Those cheeks! I could eat him1!!!!!!!!

I'm not on LJ much either. How would you feel about me friending you on facebook? I totally understand if you feel weird about it, I don't have but one fandom friend on there, but let me know. I keep a check on that right now at least.

Loves!!!!

You daft sod! I don't mind at all. I mean, I know you well enough to know you're not some internet weirdo, or should I say, I know you're weird already and I don't mind at all! :P

Hope you're having fun in London! The weathers nice at least! It's been miserable for weeks so it's quite clearly perked up especially for your visit! ;)
