    If you want to get some t'riffic panoramic shots of London, I'd recommend Shooters Hill on a clear day TQ445762 (NW corner of Oxleas Wood), looking WNW will give you a very, very good panorama.

        WHS.

        Some great shots looking out from Primrose Hill too.
        I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

          You could go from the London Eye to Greenwich by boat "Thames Clipper" Buy a day ticket and travel the whole route, Thames barrier etc.

          PS public transport you can drink on
          Fiscal nomad it's legal.

            A little shakey here, working from memory.

            If you are going to the science museum then I would recommend eating at the cafe/restaurant attached to the Goethe institute on Exhibition Street.


            ** Sorry if this is absolute bollux, but we had a great meal and I think it was there. Cheap and a more than adequate wine list.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                Best curry ni London - http://www.tayyabs.co.uk/

                Won the best Indian restaurant at the London Restaurant Awards 2008 (Amongst others), I recommend it very highly. Some asian mates took me there 1st time, been back loads - always busy, always a queue any day of week, book ahead.

                It's muslim so you can't buy beer, but you can take some in - tescos round the corner - and it's unbelievably cheap for the quality you get!!!

                      Something to consider.
                      But look on the bright side; it's probably a couple of days away if you walk.
