Natural History Museum is great. I used to go study there every week during my lead-up to final exams for my ecology/science degree.

And every day is Christmas in London!

Go to Covent Garden tonight!

Hahaha eurotrip is a great flick, and I'll try to keep out of any Man U pubs.

What is covent garden like? you going?

my book says covent garden is an area, so what should i go to in particular, or am i just looking at the worng thing?

Re: 24 hours in London England
 

no, I'm not in London [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (I am from London though)

It is an area, but there's a tube stop ('covent garden') there, go to that, and you can't miss it (its a pedestrianised area). Lots of young people, tourists, theatre goers. Quite lively!

There's a pub below ground there (I think it's the 'punch and judy'). There's also lots of other pubs nearby.

Awesome I think i may check that out, doesnt look like its too far from the parliment buildings and big ben and all that so maybe ill walk by them.

Re: 24 hours in London England
 

Go to them first, walk up the mall to Trafalgar Square, and Covent Garden is only a little further!

Paddington in my experience is not a great place for decent pubs so I wouldn't stay there for the evening, although I don't know it that well. You're near Notting Hill, bits of it are very young and lively. Don't know it too well either but here is some info:

How about a final report?

Did you like London? Cockneys? Best places? Worst places?
