Recommend some things to do in London?

[northwind]

Right, off to London again, and apart from a few things- visit the soho massive, go to camden, go to brixton to see CARTER USM! again, I've not got a lot planned. So, who would like to recommend me some stuff to do?

Places I've been:
Transport museum
Imperial War Museum
Thames cruise
Tower of London
Monument
Greenwich maritime museum & observatory
British Museum
Covent Garden
St Pauls
Cabinet War Rooms
Museum of London

Never done the Westminster/Abbey tours, worth doing? Buck Palace? I might attack the Science Museum and Natural History Museum this time... Maybe the museum in docklands. I don't really do art galleries. Any ideas?

Science & Natural history are quite nice museums. Keep meaning to do the National Portrait Gallery, they say it is quite nice.

[Richie]

Terminal 5... for a laugh

[missyburd]

Natural History Museum is great. Main reason I ever go to the capital if I do.

What about London Eye? I've not been on it but its meant to be a good experience if a bit dear.

London eye is brilliant. Prob worth booking in advance though.

Use airmiles and nectar vouchers for the eye and river cruise...

Westminster Abbey is worth seeing. Take a walk up Whitehall...St Jame's Park is nice...lots of good pubs in that area...Westminster Arms, Moon on the Mall, Sherlock Holmes...

[Stingo]

Have you done the DUKW tour?

[Tiger 55]

The Aquarium is excellent and very handy for the Eye.

While you're in that part of the town the British Film Institute is also very good.

Disregard all of the above if you don't like fish, heights or movies.

The back streets of Kings cross!

Definitely the Science & Natural History museums. Tower Bridge isn't bad. The Eye is quite good, but only on a clear day.

I could give you a long list of good pubs :D

As strange as it may sound if your a general petrol head, not just motorcycles.............go for a look around some of the big hotel underground car parks and canary wharf underground car parks.

Works has taken me to these places a few times.........AMAZING best in winter when all the arabs have gone home for winter as all the cars are tucked away for the winter.

The Wallace Collection or John Soane House at Lincolns Inn Fields for differnt museums...also Brick Lane on Sunday aint bad for a stroll if the suns out - you'll see all of life there ... :cool:

tower of london is quite interesting.

went to the science museum a few years back and was excellent. particularly impressed with the cross section of the jumbo. its HUGE!

The only good thing about the big smoke is the SOHO Massive :grouphug:

In no particular order:

RAF Museum, Hendon.
Kew Gardens.
Kew Bridge Steam Museum.
Crossness Pumping Station.
Waterlow Park.

Hampstead Pubs, (the right ones).
Kenwood House.
Sir John Soanes Museum.
Science Museum.

Cheers folks- I'd already left by the time I saw most of these due to my awesome organisational skills, but in the end I spent aaaaages in the science museum, and did a lot of walking about, as well as visits to the cultural highspots of Brixton Academy and the Enterprise in Chalk Farm :smt003
