Must sees, IMHO: * Double Decker Bus tour, jus ta gets yer bearins when ya gets dere an at least get a lil glimpse of eveyting, before ya decide iffin ya wanna go check em out up close or not. * Da Tower of London, be sure an tour wid a Beefeater, dem guys is a riot! * Ride da tubes whenever ya needs ta go ennywhere, dey awesum (but Mind da Gap) * Ride wid a cabby at least once (but only da licenced black cab ones, dey skeery enuff on deir own widout gettin in da unlicenced ones, dey jus crazy) * Take in at least one gud show. Me prefers Les Mis, since me seen it jus bout eveywhere me kin - London's production been excellent evey time, of course. * Da V&A museum, gud stuff dere. * Westminster Abbey, me gone dere jus bout evey time me goes, dere jus sumptin bout it an all da dead pepul an da Stone of Scone an all, take da guided tour at least once. An do a rubbin too, it a nice souvenir ta have. * Be sure an at least swing through Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus an Petticoat Lane, iffin ya no kin manage a longer visit, dey wurth a look-see. * Iffin ya kin arrange it, horseback ridin through Hyde Park an interestin experience, me did dat me furst time dere an it sumptin ya not fergit. Call da stables iffin yer interested: http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/hyde_park/sport.cfm
Sumptin me keeps meanin ta see but never duz is St. Paul's Cathedral. Dunno why, but whenever me goes me keeps missin it, me drivin by a million times but never manages ta stop in. Me gonna hafta next time me goes, it way past time...
Just to stand in the same room as the Rosetta Stone was awesome, in the traditional sense of the word.
However, the venerable Ogre has missed: * Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum, a must see if you're a tourist. * The Jack The Ripper Walk an excellent way to spend an evening. If you can, try and go when David Rumbelow is giving the tour. * The Bricklayer's Arms 31 Gresse St, Soho London W1T 1QS. (My favorite local pub when I was over there. It's not a must see, but I liked it!)
Heh, me not seen em yet, dat why. Dunno why me not dun Madame Tussuad's, guess me jus never had da time, an Jack da Ripper jus facinatin, da London Dungeon wuz doin da virtual Jack tour ting last time me went. Tankee an me'll be sure ta check em out next time me goes, an raise a pint of room temp Guiness to ya while me at da Bricklayer's Arms!
As fer pubs, me wuz kinda partial to The Ship on Lime Street, dat probly part of da reason why me gots thrown outta Lloyd's... *grins*
