I'm heading to England next week for work. Staying in Gatwick, but will hopefully have some time in London as well. What are some things I should see and do?

Unfortunately, I am working the whole week and won't have time for that. But, I should have a little time to get to London, so pretty much asking for things around those cities.

Do an Englishman or Englishwoman :):):):):)

Already dated a Brit.

I'm surprised that no one has any actual suggestions.

The London Philharmonic has done some nice recordings. They probably put on a good show.

Hey i tried, i was gonna suggest doing a floridaman, hint-hint-hint. :):):):):):):):)

this site has some good information for you

Thanks!

This looks like a good site. I'll definitely check it out. Thank you!

Walk around London holding a sign that says "Death to Islam"

Stay away from the food.

Ask around for a good Indian restaurant. The ethnic food in London is much better than the local cuisine. I kid you not!

Have fun!!

I'm meeting up with a friend there who loves Indian food, so I'm sure that can be arranged!

You've missed Glastonbury.........

See the london eye, take a boattrip on the thames, go to madam tussauds wax museum, see the cutty sark at Greenwich and so on

Thanks!

Will post more when at a computer

AH!!!! I'm so jealous. That's my old town I wanna go too!!!

If you get a chance to explore Greenwich do it. I used to live there and the whole place is gorgeous. And has pirate ships floating around in town sometimes for no reason!

Covent Garden was also one of my favourite places. LOTS of people and some seriously awesome pubs. If you can get to The Maple Leaf (a Canadian bar, run by Aussie's lol) and the Porter House...you won't regret it.

Am near there now.

There is soooo much to do in London, I could spend a whole week typing out things to do in a week.

If you are working then the train into the city will be the best bet.

But you have 4 or 5 FREE museums
National History
Science Museum
V&A Museum
British Museum

you have Camden Town for live music
Brick lane for Asian food
Oxford street for shopping
Covent Garden for a Sunday chill-out coffee
Tours up the Thames and down to the Dungeons
Madam Tussauds and the Planetarium ...
and obviously the big 3
Big Ben/Houses of Parliament
Tower Bridge and my absolute favourite
The Tower of London!

... and thats just in 5 mins.
Im a Brit and London is THE most amazing city!
Enjoy

Ok, sounds good. My friend suggested the London Eye especially if it's a clear day cause you can see the whole city.

Thanks Sunny and Belushi. I will see what I can fit in. I know I have one full day in London, but I'm really hoping to have at least a couple other nights. We'll see though. WOrk is going to get in the way!
