I can confirm every single bus is just like this, always.

In fact the one in the boots could be me.

And I can also confirm the UK OOT field trip in a coupla weeks will probably have photos just like this one [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It would have helped if you'd said something about what you liked doing!

If you like art, Tate Modern (20th century), Tate Britain (British Art from the last 500 years) and National Gallery (lots of great art from thr European Masters) are all excellent. All are free, as well.

On theatre, the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square sells half prive tickets from the early afternoon onwards. It is a great deal. you might want to buy Time Out or somewhing to give you an ide of what is well reviewed.

If you like food, there are lots of good restaurants. A fairly cheap place I like is Rasa at 61 Dering St (near Oxford Circus). It is a south Indian restaurant specilaising in vegeterian dishes so good that meat-eaters love them. Slightly more exepnsively without breaking the bank, I love the Providores on marylebone High St which serves Asian/Pacific Rim influenced tapas. Nearest tube is Baker St.

Other than that, i agree London is a great City to walk around the centre of.

Whenever I am in London I go to Luton and catch an EasyJet flight to Paris to eat Moules Mariniere.

24 hours in London should give you enough time to enjoy most of the fantastic sights of Paris.

Easyjet? Until tomorrow, all of ryanair's flights to anywhere in Europe between Wednesday and mid-February are free (excluding taxes). http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/fares...U&base=STN

You should find out whats on at Turnmills tonight (if anything) and go.

Re: 24 hours in London England
 

National Gallery

It's free, has a lot of good stuff (for example, The Arnolfini Wedding by Jan van Eyck) and you get to see Trafalgar square at the same time.

Well? What did you do?

I took some of everyones suggestions. I slept in a bit then went to South Kensington via the underground. Getting there was an adventure in itself as the underground is not the most simple thing to figure out.

Then I went to the Natural History Museum which was really good, I spent a couple hours in there and then walked through Hyde Park. I was pretty hungry so I went in search of food and couldnt really find anything until I was all the up to Marble Arch where I had a fine and exotic dining experience at some place you brits call "Pizza Hut".

After that I walked all over the place deciding not to look at the map book i bought and ended up shopping along the oxford circus/piccadilly circus area. I couldnt find the Arsenal shirt I wanted anywhere but I got some decent souvenier type stuff.


Apparently in London it's Christmas already.

So now I am wanting to heed skipper bobs advice and find a pub (fireplace optional). Where is good to go out on a monday night? I am 20 btw if that makes some difference, also I am back at paddington (I took a double decker to get here, that novelty has certaintly not worn off as I sat on the top despite not really knowing when my stop was.)
