Trip to London!
 

Howdy Ladies! I was wondering if any of you have been to London and could give me some insight as to the best places to see, hang out, etc. I will be going there from Dec. 26-Jan.8 for an upper division English Class (Mondern Theatre). Thanks!

London is a fabulous place -- lots to do. I spent 6 weeks there in graduate school in the summer of 1988. You'll have a blast.

Must sees:
Westminster Abbey
St. Paul's Cathedral
Tower of London
Harrod's Dept. Store
National Gallery
Tate Gallery
British Museum

Other cool things:
Transportation Museum
Old Bailey
Victoria & Albert Museum
Jack the Ripper tour of Whitechapel
Fortnum & Mason (shop for British souvenirs)
National Portrait Gallery
theater (2nd only to Broadway)
War Cabinet Rooms
Wimbledon

Samuel Johnson said it best in 1777 when he described the city thus: "when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford."

update of trip
 

ugh... i miss the USA so much! I am sooo pooped! I feel like I have seen everything in the UK... hehehehe

I have visited all the normal tourist-y places... visited the United Grand Lodge of England today..... planning to see six plays..... um... what else... oh yeah.... stonehenge.... just a bunch of rocks in the middle of po-dunk nowhere.

right now I am in a 'net cafe underneath Burger King. hehehe

I miss my sisters... especially my Big... I bought lots of owl stuff over here for her, too.

hmm... what else? Oh, I totally have a crush on Tony Blair (eventhough his politics don't quite line up with mine) and have visited his place on Downing Street like... a million times! hahahaha

Thanks for all the suggestions for places to go!!!

Have FUN and take it all in. I wish I could travel to some place foreign!
