Patrick,
That is a HILLARIOUS website! It made me laugh!
I am a little (ok, a lot) confused why people are writing lists about what they miss about London. - But I confuse very easily.
I thought your title to this thread refered to the website. (The plan to have the London Eye "dismantle itself" REALLY put a smile on my face. I can picture it! )

I answered What I was missing because I am a London Lover..
this was my favorite idea for what to do with the London Eye...
"The wheel will be unhooked from its spindle and, thus freed, will roll around the country solving mysteries and avenging wrongs". LOL

I guess I was in a "missing London" mood today, because I misread the title of the post as: London Lovers: what ARE YOU missing? and completely disregarded the web address. Sorry for the subject change! I did however have fun thinking up my list and reading others.
BTW, (and now I am going to steer WAY off subject), PatrickLondon, a few months ago you gave suggestions for some theatre reviews which lead to my seeing Measure for Measure at the National Theatre, and I just wanted to thank you. We chose that over the Globe's production and are so glad we did. Thanks!

pandaschu,
I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad! - I was just confused. LOL!
Scarlett, that was actually my favorite too (The WHOLE London Eye thing was funny ... as where the other "articles"
Ok, I don't want to be left out! Here is MY list:
Theatre
flower boxes
street buskers
fish and chips
the Meander tour of the British Museum
afternoon tea
minding the gap
... many, many things!

That was funny, Patrick. Thanks for posting.
I've solved my missing-London problem by booking a Priceline package for the first of October. The price is higher this year, but we did get the Millennium Bailey Hotel that several of you have recommended.

Hi Patrick!
My two cents' worth:
The West End, the National and Alemida Theatres
Locanda Locatelli - the best pasta I've eaten this side of Italy
Indian restaurants
Afternoon Tea (who could forget?)Especially at Brown's

i'm still here but i do move around a lot so it's only a matter of time...
When i do leave, i WILL miss:
Non-commercial theatre(national, barbican, etc).
Watching the faces of visitors from around the world as they climb the lion.
Tate Modern
National Film Theatre (and the book market out front).
black cabs, the buses, the noise and yes, even the smell.
views from the new hungerford footbridge
and in the countryside, "rights of way" for ramblers (the absolute best thing about UK in my opinion).

Watching the kids run through the fountain at Somerset House
A pint at the Churchill Arms
Jacket Potatoes - they just taste better in London
The show "Top Gear" on the BBC
Borough Market
Inexpensive flights to the rest of Europe
