So feast yourself.<BR/><BR/>If you're there on a Sunday, go to a service at St. Paul's or Westminster. It's just beautiful.<BR/><BR/>You can easily take day trips outside London to other towns, like Cambridge, but the trouble with that is the astronomical train fares.<BR/><BR/>Best bet: buy a London guide. Time Out publishes excellent city guides but may not be best for the budget minded person. I have Time Out and Rough Guide for Berlin, and I prefer T.O. Lonely Planet isn't bad either.ACNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052209801942592717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357633862224808465.post-48201016814818425312007-04-11T06:52:00.000-04:002007-04-11T06:52:00.000-04:00One word of caution:London is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensi...One word of caution:<BR/><BR/>London is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. Plan well. Don't get sucked into tourist traps in terms of restaurants. If you're there a week, plan to buy things at the grocery store.<BR/><BR/>Underground tickets - I think you can buy a week pass. At the very least, on days you'll be doing lots of travel, buy the day pass. Know which zones you'll need to go through. DO NOT buy a single ticket - it's 4 pounds (8 dollars!).<BR/><BR/>Also:<BR/><BR/>Tower of London<BR/>Churchill's War RomsACNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052209801942592717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357633862224808465.post-35588395111231692842007-04-11T06:48:00.000-04:002007-04-11T06:48:00.000-04:00There is SO MUCH to do in London, you'll never see...There is SO MUCH to do in London, you'll never see even a fraction of it all.<BR/><BR/>Westminster Abbey<BR/>St. Paul's Cathedral<BR/>Piccadilly Circus (not a circus)<BR/>West End if you want to see plays<BR/>the British Museum is great<BR/>National Gallery at Trafalger Square<BR/>Thames River<BR/>Buckingham Palace<BR/>I hear the Tate Modern is great<BR/>Covent Garden (not a garden)<BR/>Big Ben and Parliament<BR/><BR/>I LOVE London.
