For reasonably priced clothes go to Primark in Marble Arch. H&M at Oxford Circus is also good as is Top Shop in the same location.

Food, there are some nice places but it depends on what foood you like and what prices you want to pay. Ask, Prezzo's, Zizzi's, Pizza Express are all good for standard Italian fare, prices are not too bad. Wagamamma's is always good food and value.

Bistro 1 is somewhere my friends and I go a lot. It is not expensive and the food is uaually very good. It is a mixture of English and Turkish with other European stuff thrown in http://www.bistro1.co.uk/

China Town off Leicester Square is good for cheap food. Some restaurants there are more highly priced but most have clear menus outside and I've never had a bad meal there.

The place I recommend is Kettners in Romilly Street in Soho. It is the original Pizza Express. It has a champagne bar but the main restaurant is fancy surroundings but the food is pizza, salads and pasta at normal Pizza Express prices.

If you want to go to Madame Tussards, go to the Planitarium first. Then you don't have to queue and you get straight into the main waxwork museum once you are done.

Thanks for the info!
I hope I can remember all :giggle:
It should be helpful though... thanks a lot! :huggy:
 
Be warned, Primark is a nightmare if you go in peak times.

Ever see a desperate woman at a handbag sale? Then you'll know what to expect.


oh god i know what ya mean!!! LOL it can be hectic alright!!!

I am trying to think now ........

The London Eye, well worth a visit. Get there early though or the queue's are a nightmare if you go later.

Well worth seeing Buckingham Palace. If you go to Leicester Square you walk a short way down to Traflagar Square then you can walk up The Mall to Buckingham Palace.
 
Checked my Photobuket account today and noticed someone is posting our macros on another forum.

How can you guys be nervous!!?? OMG, I'd be sooooo excited to go!! But, alas, nothing EVER happens in Canada....:no:
 
I visited Canada twice (Toronto) and loved it. What a brilliant place.

Yes, I love Toronto...I am originally about 4 hours north from there....I couldn't live there, though...Too busy....

To be honest I can't remember, it was a few years ago Maybe 'Delta' or something like that was in the name, I remember they had a pool on the 17th flor eith a saune there too! It was near the bay, that's all I remember :blush:

You put us to shame when delaing with cold weather. Here everything grinds to a halt, with you, its a fact of life.
 
Riley, Sils: have a FAB time in London. Shout if you get stuck and feel the gold pants one time for me!

Night all, I need my sleep :hug:​
