I just bought plane tickets to London

If some girl on the game got pregnant and waited until she had her baby she wouldn't be making much profit for those 9 months, or a number of months afterwards

Kings Cross has all the fucking hokers and they have STDS so its a no go area if you know what I mean

I don't know what you mean sorry

[ZeUs!!]

Don't worry Mulkero I haven't forgotten you, I just don't think I'll be posting anything worthwhile until some point next week

Pretty much any guidebook can tell you about the top tourist attractions, and thats pretty much where you need to go. The rest of London is suburbia, and walking down residential streets isn't that fun. Plus in 4 days you'll struggle to cram it all in, so stick to the essentials like the London Eye and Houses of Parliament

However Camden has a pretty vibrant community, Camden Market is a favourite for goths and grungers and sells loads of offbeat and leftfield stuff. I'm not really the person to ask about London as a tourist destination as I use it to live in, not to see the sites in 4 days. I also don't know about hotels for the obvious reason - I've already got a house. However the St George's pub just over London Bridge (not to be confused with Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge is the famous one and London Bridge is the ordinary looking one) is a great English pub. And The Anchor pub just over the Millenium Bridge and slightly along the river to the St George's pub does an excellent sunday roast, which you must experience if you go to England, along with fish and chips

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help

6) We drive on the right side of the road here so be wary of that too.

You mean the left side?

[Superted]

lol.

I meant right as in 'correct' and only just noticed, silly me.

I do need some advice about good pubs too. I have to write down all the things you guys have said.

Watch out for the snakes on the plane.

The Bogaloo in Isligton is great, but a little out of the way

Oh and btw, do you know any awesome record stores?

My tips for visiting England:

1) Bring a brolly
2) Avoid the kids in burberry
3) Bring plenty of money
4) Try to conceal your americaness(assuming you are)
5) Again if you're american and you visit a fast food store, your medium is our large
6) We drive on the right side of the road here so be wary of that too.

That's all I can think of now.

EDIT: Yes it was nailed, I'm happy to see someone took notice.
EDIT 2: I now see that you're finnish, in which case you've nothing to worry about, London is one quarter foreigners.

God damn chavs!! grrrr

Yeah... avoid them at all costs...
EDIT:Oh and don't wear those white ipod earphones while walking around at night... they're linked to a 50% increase in london muggings. :P

I just booked a double room for 3 nights

the Shaftesbury Kensington
33 Hogarth Road
London Gb Sws Oqq

4 star hotel. It cost about 55e / night / person. The cheapest decent one I found was about 35e / night, so this ain't bad. We're leaving this Saturday to Tampere where the plane takes off on Sunday. I'm meeting a few friends in Tampere which is nice.

I booked the hotel through travelnow.com with my credit card. I have no idea if the site's even reliable, I just read some newsgroup messages dating 5 years back I found with google. I guess we'll see when we arrive.

i live in london

hotels? sleep with the tramps :grin:

don't know cheap hotels.. always just travel out..
but be sure to check out the London Eye, Tralfalgular Square, Big ben etc. etc.
if u want clubs go Leicester Square. plenty of bars/clubs there for u.. Zoo Bar in Leicester Square is probably the cheapest place to get drinks for in weekends; not sure about weekdays. a lot of student nights during weekdays; so those will be cheap.

Record Stores - Tower Records//Piccadily Circus


and yes, use the tour guides; that will pretty much help u out..

Be sure to go Casino too :fear:
