    And a queue a mile long ... that's a day right there

    BTW If you like shopping, there's a very big shiny new shopping centre in west london - biggest in europe I believe, and it's quite good (Sorry churchy).
    Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

        Tussauds and planetarium.

        St Pauls.

        The London Eye.

        The markets used to be good, but what was once bohemian is now toursit trap central.
        Camden, Borough and Spitalfields spring to mind.

        Take a walk down the river, see the Golden Hind, Globe Theatre and the Clink.

        Take an open top bus tour too.

        I may be a bit out of date. It has been a while.
        Really fancy the bus tour too!

          Tower.. London Dungeon... Aquarium.... Harolds (Harrods) & other expensive poncy Knightsbridge emporiums.... The Museums... The Zoo...

          <pause for breath>
          Possibly worth jumping on one of the SiteSeeing Buses... and hoping on/off when something takes your fancy.....

          <gasp>
          Borough Market (esp Friday)..... Real Tacky Touristy but good food and stuff

          Hit Covent Garden for Late Afternoon/Evening.....

          China Town (the Wankee if its still there) for Scoff as much as you can.....

          (Early) Afternoon Tea at the Ritz.... I would actually go to the Dorchester cos the tea is better but the Ritz is sort of Traditional.......

          Seriously..... Think of one thing.. find out where and when is best/possible and then do that and work in a couple of others if you can......

            Just remember that the Planetarium that used to be next to Tussauds is no more. You need to hoof it over the Greenwich if you want to do star gazing.

              I like the sound of Borough Market - we went to the Market Porter for the CUK piss up last summer and the market looked ace! Plus we saw the whole Wasps team there

                    Go out in search of a litter bin. I couldn't find any last time I was there.
