London Must Sees (but light on the museums)
My sister and I are leaving for London on Thursday for five days. We are going to visit Oxford because she was just accepted into their graduate school. But we are staying in London. What are some really fun things to do? Personally, there are only so many museums I can handle before I get overwhelmed with learning! I definitely want to visit the Freud Museum, being a psychologist.

Psychologist!!!
I've often thought the MDs were the intellectual slummers of grad school!
You might want to go to the cricket grounds at Lords, or maybe arrange for a round of golf somewhere.
There's always fishing.
How about London Dungeon?
Drunken nights in pubs are always fun.
And you might find company in Shepherd's Market.
Don't forget the wax museum and the big ferris wheel.
Enjoy!

Another thought might be the Women's Library at London Metropolitan University: http://digbig.com/4kpnj

Naughty naughty!
Try and catch an England World cup game in a pub. That'll tell you more about the English psyche than any amount of books. (assuming we're still in it)
