Thanks for the advice J Gordon, my dad also recommended Shepherds Bush Market, he said it is an unusual part of modern London now
He was probably refering to the amount of ozzies living there
On a serious note I was in London last weekend. I stayed in a marbel arch hotel, booked through lastminute "secret hotels" feature (iirc £180 for 2 nites which aint too shabby for a 4* in that location
) saturday we walked down park lane to Buck palace to just miss changing of the gaurd :thumbsdown: - imo not a great photo opp' place unless you like candid (nice gardens tho), walked down the mall onto whitehall (via trafalgar sq), past household cavelry (or is it the life gaurds
) at their gaurd posts ending up in Parliment sq, where you have of course big ben, Westminister Abbey, Houses of parliment.
Across the river to the eye - loads of street performers here. Keep going along the river where you will come accross a skate/bmx park (heard about that on another thread on here) I got a few "action" shots here. You could then continue along to "non wobbly bridge"/Globe and across the river to St Pauls - if you do you'll have ample choice of "refreshment houses"
dotted along the south bank.
If you wanted to go to canary Wharf you could then jump on a tube here (st pauls) using central then DLR from bank.
Thats about the crunch of what I did - though you could get a lot more done as I started out late on sat morn and I took it slow. I was thinking about doing the london bus tour company where you can jump on and off their tour buses all day which stop at all the major attractions. £19pp
- we'd already got travel cards so decided against it but if you've not that sure where you are going in london then this maybe a good option - just make sure you get your moneys worth
.
If i can plan it all right it should be a very good day.
