Subject: RE: London To-Do'sI lived in London several months and never had a car. The London Underground can get you wherever you want to go faster, cheaper and with no parking. They have a thing they call an Oyster card which looks like a credit card that you pre-pay, that lets you get on any train or bus. If you're a history buff the Churchill museum is a must. Also, If you know of the speeches Churchill gave at Hyde park then go there. I felt like I could almost feel history walking there. The Tower of London is well worth while and Parliament (where Big Bend is) is across the street from Westminster Abbey. So, both can be done quickly.
I've been to almost every museum in London and the Royal British Museum is probably the best unless you're into more modern art in which case the Tate Modern is the best. St Paul's Cathedral is cool if you're into architecture.
Regents park is my favorite park, it's a great place to go for a run. Even in the winter it's pretty. Walking along the River Thames is great and most folks like seeing the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace (I didn't care so much). And finally, since you're close to Regents park you might want to check out a small museum on Sherlock Holmes at 222b Baker Street (of course). Glad to answer any questions. |
