Going to London. Tips appreciated!

[Carousel]

So I am going to London for a week, and I would love some tips and advice. What are some must-see attractions? Good food/restaurants? Places to avoid? Also, I will be staying at The Tower Hotel; anyone ever stayed there?

Thanks!

Why would I tip you for going to London? This tipping is getting out of control!

Hit a club with 80s music. Lots of fun chicks in there.

Got anything to declare? Yes, don't go to England

When are you going?

 

[nace186]

I can't give you tips. Don't have any cash on me.

Make sure you catch a game of Footy. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham. Nothing like it. Especially when they start singing those chants against one another

Eat at Nando's. www.nandos.co.uk

Masala Zone is good too. www.masalazone.com

Make sure you eat some bangers and mash and have the famous English "fry up" for early morning breakfast.

Oh and watch out for dodgy looking doner kebabs at some street venders in London.

And where is here?

Also have you actually been to a Nando's in London?

If you run into a guy named Hal9000 or neckbeard, run the other way.

Someone mention london eye, you can buy tickets ahead of time on the internet and not wait online there, i think you still need to get on the waiting line to pick them up..

will you be taking the tubes around ? its fairly easy and recommended, cab can be quite pricy. You can get oyster card and put like 30 pounds on it and tube around the city

Haven't been there in so long, any tips I might have had are outdated . . . except for this small but timeless one:

As a pedestrian crossing any street with traffic, be sure to re-train which way you look -- it's opposite day every day in them thar isles!

pub -> fish and chips
