-Jennie- Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How unfair lol.. I'll have to find another excuse to go but it's tooo expensive, for what I went to see, it wasn't worth it Yeah it's expensive. It's worth it if you've never been before I guess. When I went you could reuse your ticket if you went again within the same year so I got to go twice for the price of 1 ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdlp Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Oh there's Hampstead too, which is a bit of a posh area, and u kinda need to be a millionaire to be able to buy stuff. Well some things. But they have such a nice creperie, their crepes are sooo amazing, espesh the milk chocolate ones and there's also Hampstead Heath nearby (a park) it's kinda like a forest there, with all the trees and bushes and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 And the squirrels will come and eat out of your hand. And the birds too! If you're in the flower garden in Kensington Gardens and put a peanut on your open palm they will come and take it from you. I feel like Snow White in there. Greenwich is my favourite park. I tried to go once a week when I lived in the East End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to go once a week when I lived in the East End. I usually go every Monday on my day off. The animals are all really tame in Kensington Gardens. Although the pigeons are a little too tame for my liking, one literally walked over my head when I was sitting on a bench there the other day. http://i25.tinypic.com/5evqci.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was crazy, where iam coming from the pigeons are not so vicious like that. Ducks & seguls in Kensington Gardens This is the view i saw from London Eye- it was a beautiful sunny day: Oh and if anyone is interested, a big close up on the big ben clock (taken by me): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This is a call to the Londoners, London visitors and London lovers. I'm anxious to read about your recommendations and insider tips about what to see, what not to miss and what to leave out while staying there. Can be anything concerning entertainment, art, culture in general, food... ... Now I'm going to be totally anal and bore everyone to death with this, but if you are over within the next two months, go check out The Old Vic Theatre for the play thats on at the moment. It's called Speed The Plow and it's stars Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblume, and if I have enough money on the 27th between Mika shows, I 'm going to go see it, because if I don't see Kevin Spacey in a play soon, I'm going to spontaneously combust! :roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violet_sky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Pats REBEKA. Of course! Mici, the pic you took of London from inside London Eye made me And it also brought up an association of the Peter Pan ride in Disneyland in my mind - The power of Big Ben As for plays - has anyone seen Spamalot so far?

Mici Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 AWW, if I can get a ticket we should meet up, I'll let you know in the next week. I have just called to the ambessedor theatre group to change my seats and they told me that there are only few tickets left to the play as it is very popular. If you plan to go see this play i suggest to book the ticket soon Just an advice. :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteKat Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 most of the places have been spoken about so far, but a verrry strong recommendation - check out the V&A....it is just stuffed with everything that the Empire has "acquired" (dont kill me, Brittons ) over past few centuries....amazing collection of just e v e r y t h i n g - starting from some rusty door handles to few meter carved columns.... personal fav - the clothing division and textile collections and since everyone posts their last London visit pics - some of mine... do you see a squirrel on this one? -me neither....but I can swear it was there 0.00001secs before the shoot:boxed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
