British Museum, Museum of London, boat trip from Westminster to Greenwich followed by Royal Observatory, Camden (if you’re a cunt), Imperial War Museum, Natural History Museum, National Gallery, Tates (if you’re a cunt), St Paul’s Cathedral, Museum of London Docklands, Wellcome Collection, John Soane House Museum, Brick Lane/Spitalfields Market, Borough Market, Broadway Market on a Saturday, a choice of shitloads of lovely parks, the number of things is simply staggering and far too numerous to list.

I will be on Sunday
Is there anything to do in Ealing since I have a couple of hours to waste before meeting my friend?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 19 Aug 2011, 12:07, Reply)

rioting
aside from that...no.

There are a couple of nice pubs, some shit generic high street shops and err the council building...

This is your best bet, we have Costa's, Nero's and Starbucks

They do a good line in pies in there.

That's a little too much effort

SHOREDITCH IS NOT BETTER
:'(
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 19 Aug 2011, 12:26, Reply)

Than Ealing?
I've been to both, and regretfully I'd probably take Shoreditch
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 19 Aug 2011, 12:27, Reply)

Shoreditch is worse than everything
for a start, Monty is usually there.

*takes notes*
I've booked a trip on a duck boat tour for me and my girls next month. I am also planning a visit to Harrods (sure to impress Americans) but can't decide whether it's worth going on the Eye. Won't have time to do any museums, sadly.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 19 Aug 2011, 11:58, Reply)

I've never been on the Eye but I imagine the views are spectacular.
That said, they are if you walk over Waterloo Bridge and that's free.

In the 18 or however may years I've lived here, when I go over that bridge coming back from Winchester I still love it as much as a first-time tourist would.

Lusty is an expert in getting the best out of London for sod all. Quite a skill. I've seen some really smart, weird, quirky little places off the beaten track - just lovely and a million miles from the overpriced tawdry shite like Madame Tussauds.

What about Ealing?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Aug 2011, 12:12, Reply)

There was a young lady from Ealing

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 19 Aug 2011, 12:13, Reply)

the Eye is worth a go
the view is pretty tremendous
