London Town

[jesswah]

I'm going to be a tourist this weekend. Being a simple country girl, I haven't been to London very much, except when I worked on the trains, and had a daily 2 hours turnover in which to sample the fragrant (vagrant?) delights of King's Cross

The London Eye is exceptionally cool and well worth the dosh and the queue - go at sunset if you can.

I'd also recommend the butterscotch milkshake at Ed's Diner in Soho. Indeed, Soho in general is a bit of a must do.

yeah, and the london aquarium is right next to the eye, so you can meet the cast of 'finding nemo' and stroke a manta ray before seeing london from the wheel :)

I got scared on the Birmingham eye, I was up there for ages with 2 Dutch men and a six-pack, I was nearly sick with fear. It was way too wobbly.

if I'm brave enough to go the eye, the milkshake can be my prize!

Natural History Museum is free and great if you're five years old in your head.

Oh, and Kew gardens.
