[...] ? All the main museums are free. They really are great, I got the feeling of historic grandeur while strolling in the halls. Especially in the Natural History Museum main hall with the famous Darwin statue.
My fault, I last went to London almost 2 year ago. :<]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523112 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:53:26 +0100 Reply by HTE https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-2/?recent=523126#post=523108 Quoted from Marmite
What week are you going? there are some sick clubs in vauxhall
haha The Hoist eh! My favourite walk is along the Southbank from Waterloo to the Tate Modern, then across the footbridge over to St Pauls. As Saba Saba said the IWM is free, the WW1 exhibition is mustard and you can lose a morning there. You can also hop on and off the the boats using your Oyster (not the blue clipper boats though) There's stops at all the main piers on the Thames and you get to see a lot of the hidden history and get away from the crowds.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523108 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:09:22 +0100 Reply by funlover5291 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-2/?recent=523126#post=523103 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523103 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 11:51:44 +0100 Reply by Morphine https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=523094 Quoted from bobmus
The Shard is pretty cool, and has amazing views over London. Protip: Use the loos while you're up there and have the sensation of pissing in a glass box in the sky.
Yes it provides a lovely view of your own butthole if you sit down in the evening. First hand experience Since a lot of the places are covered already, I'll add this http://www.rmg.co.uk/ (Royal Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark - some old ship) If the weather is great (it's England, don't count on it) its pretty great to relax at the huge field and hill right behind it. Great view! Also this was the bit featured in that Thor movie where it gets destroyed by aliens. Fun stuff Not too far from here is Goddard's Pie and Mash! http://www.goddardsatgreenwich.co.uk/ You can try some nice traditional pie and jellied eels! (I think the Polish smoked eel is superior but jellied eel is quite the experience)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523094 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 04:00:00 +0100 Reply by CHERRY COKE https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=523092 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523092 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 02:23:20 +0100 Reply by Marmitem8 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=523060 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=523060 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 21:55:58 +0100 Reply by Selektionsfaktor https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=523058 Quoted from RTC
I'd also strongly recommend the Natural History and Science museums; even if you aren't a huge fan of museums, you'll get your money's worth visiting.

Should go to a pub/music venue where there's live gigs - if you're over 18, the 100 Club in Oxford Street is great for that sort of thing
Great idea!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=522907 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 17:28:18 +0100 Reply by TheJayBelmont https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=522905 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=522905 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 17:21:07 +0100 Reply by CHERRY COKE https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-30836/page-1/?recent=523126#post=522903 Quoted from Leftism
Depends what you're interests are. Couple of bits to get you started: http://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/101-things-to-do-in-london-attractions-sights http://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/sightseeing Looking online, although I'm not sure how you plan on getting around, you can get a tourist/"traveller's"(?) Oyster Card to pre-pay for use of any TfL (Transport for London) services (Underground, buses, etc) - http://www.tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/visiting-london/visitor-oyster-card#on-this-page-1
The pages you've linked are way better than the stuff I could find, both Tates' buildings look amazing and a trip between them in a boat is definetely a thing I'd like to do.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=30836&post=522903 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 17:03:24 +0100
