Two hours in London????
 

If you only had two hours to spend in London what would be the one thing you would want to do? I guess I am looking for the most exciting things to do while we are there next month. What did you love the best?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Robbyn

Robyn:<BR>Hope you are just joking or want to start a thread a mile long.<BR><BR>Assuming your are flying into London, and assuming your flight is on time, your will have just enough time to take a taxi into London from either of the airports and turn around again. Sorry, I can't think of anything you would want to do in two hours, unless you could catch a helicopter sightseeing flight at the airport and fly over London.

British Museum: them Brits - er - gathered cool stuff from their colonies.<BR><BR>If you're a first time visitor, I recommend one of the double-decker bus tours. Great way to see everything in two hours.<BR><BR>Or spend two hours in Harrod's...<BR><BR>

Jim,<BR><BR>We are going to be in London for 3 days. I would just like to know, from someone who has already been there, what they liked the best and what they would do over again. <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Robbyn

IF they were first time tourists and wanted to see things uniquely British, I'd list it in this order:<BR>1. British Museum<BR>2. Tower of London<BR>3. Covent Garden<BR>4. Train to Windsor/Eton<BR>5. Harrods<BR>6. Fortnum & Masons<BR>

Three days is much better!!<BR><BR>I would add to the above list:<BR><BR>Buckingham Palace (If it is open when you're there)<BR>Hampton Court (All, or most of a day)<BR>St. Pauls<BR>Westminster Abbey<BR>Kennsington Palace

Yes, Yes, jiim is right, how stupid of me to forget Westminster Abbey--put that closer to the top!

I'd have lunch at the Ivy with Damien Hirst. And I would drink a whole bottle of Bollinger Grand Anee 1990 all by myself. Damien can have the Krug.

I would just stay at the airport and try to shag one of the BA female flight attendents (not that the male ones are not cute, but I do not swing that was).....

Robbyn--<BR>I think the other suggestions so far have omitted my favorite, and the most intriguing of all the sights in London to me: the National Gallery at Trafalgar Square. Unless you dislike art, you could spend your entire 3 days there and love it. It's certainly worth a few hours. They even have a neat little restaurant where you can grab a snack for lunch. Aside from the National Gallery and all the other good recommendations, I would add the British Air Museum with its old WWII aircraft, many of which you can't see anywhere else--but I'm an ex-pilot and maybe am a bit biased.

Nigel<BR>You will be lucky if you get shagged by an Iranian goat herder or his goats...you bloody bugger.
