I'm off to London tomorrow morning!
Me | 05/25/18 | Simon Green

Posted on 05/25/2018 6:48:36 PM PDT by Simon Green

West End musicals ("Chess" and "Young Frankenstein")! Imperial War Museum! London Bridge food tour! The Churchill War Rooms!

The only annoying part is taking all day to get there. I know, First World Problems.

I'll only be there for a week. Any last minute suggestions?

"in some countries they side they drive on is inconclusive from observation."

Some one-way streets in Boston used to have lots of traffic in both directions.

Try Highgate cemetery, Hampton Court, any walking tours and walk the city as much as possible.

It has been awhile but have been to London several times for work assignments so didn’t get to tour much. Great pubs, great beers. Lousy food, fat greasy chicks.

Tower of London and the British Museum.

Interesting tidbit about the museum, I was there about 10 years ago, and there was a plexiglass donation box which had in it about 30% pounds, 20% Euros, and 50% U.S. dollars !

I think he rubbed management the wrong way with some of his stances.

I got to save up and visit my ancestors home at Stowe.

I wonder what they will say (the guides) when I tell them that this is my ancestral home. Or at least one of them.

The other place I would visit is Horndon On Hill since that was where another was burned at the stake during Bloody Marys reign.

As for my Scottish..I have been there done that.

I do that here too but they lift my suspension after awhile lol. You can find him on Rightnation butting heads there and I know of him since 2006 or so on that site before I headed here to FR.

On RN, they dont zot too many people bec mgmt there allows the leftards to cause some damage and leaves the conservative members to swarm and make their arguments in a civilized manner.

If they have restarted the Windsor Castle tours after the wedding don’t miss it. Great out of London day trip. Dont forget to rent the earphone recorders for details about what you are seeing. You won’t believe your eyes.

Do your own walking tour. Stop at pubs for refreshments. I wore out a pair of shoes.

British Museum. Golden treasures and the original Rosetta stone.

So much to do, so little time.

You could do the Jack the Ripper tour, or stop in for a pint in his pick up spot of old...The Ten Bells.

Then there’s always the Bloody Tower.

The Indian restaurants in the city center are on the pricey side but they are super tasty. Have some spicy Sag Paneer for me.

Oh, don’t film anything outside an active trial as they will say you are disturbing the peace and will have you before a judge within an hour and off to jail for a year within minutes after: same day service.

Free speech is dead in the UK. Dead.

I was disappointed in Stonhenge but really enjoyed the rest of your suggestions.

Remember to blend in by wearing a bowler hat and saying Ello Ello Ello and doing a silly walk.

Visit Tommy Robinson in jail. Visit Alfie Evans’s grave. Then go to Harrods and count how many Muslims you see.

Don’t say anything negative about Islam or you might end up in jail.
