So UK Escapists, sometime in the summer, I will be in London!

So... What's there to do in London? Have any good pubs or tourist spots?

Plus, I'll totally bring my Taco head! :D

If you don't try to duel Daystar while you are there I will be extremely disappoint.

I'll try to go over to his area

If England gets nuked, just know that it was for a good cause

I won't be going to London but next weekend I'll be in Liverpool watching the Liverpool U18 on saturday (hopefully) and then Liverpool - Stoke on sunday.
I'd like to go to London and check the place out, heard it's great.
So when I go there sometime I know who to ask for advice as a tourist ;)

I'll run down to London to kick you out myself. Bloody yanks *shakes fist*

Heh, just kidding. London is a really big place, so it's hard to recommend any specific places. If you look around, you're sure to find something though.

For the authentic London experience you must do these things in this order:
1)Eat pie and mash
2)Get absolutely hammered
3)Get in some sort of riot
4)Go to Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and other landmarks and stare at them. No touching.
5)Wait for hours to go on the London Eye
6)After all that stumble home on the underground
7)Go home!

When i read the thread title i thought Taco-Bell, the fast food chain, was opening stores in the UK....Not that i'm disappointed they're not, i'm pretty indifferent about Taco-Bell.

Sounds like you've got a while before you actually go so you have plenty of time to plan your trip and do some research- and who knows maybe next summer won't be as shitty as the one just gone so you might see some sunlight in England.

London could keep you busy for weeks with all the stuff there is to do and see- but what do you want to see? It would be helpful if you could list what interests you in relation to sight-seeing.

Fixed. ;)
England is STILL stuck in a Shoe recession? Did those relief drops by JCPenny do NOTHING?!?

Umm...
I've actually forgotten what I did in London when I went there a couple of years back.
There was sitting outside Buckingham Palace because my family wanted to see the changing of the Guard.
Umm...
There was a tour of the Tower of London, which was kinda interesting if you're into history, otherwise its largely meh beyond a couple of suits of armour.
There was some London Bridge thing, and some other similar thing somewhere else, where it tried to be one of those spooky walk through exhibits on the history of London with people following you, or jumping up behind you, and things looking like they were going to fall from the ceiling and such. In one of them there was a funny judge who pronounced everyone guilty for a variety of amusing reasons, but that might have been at Warwick Castle, I'm not sure.
There's the Globe Theatre [Or reconstruction thereof] if you're into Shakespeare. I think we saw McBeth there, and it wasn't too expensive [Though I could be wrong].

Eh, most of what my family did in England was all over the place - Dover, London, wherever Stonehenge is, Cambridge, Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick Castle, some other places I've forgotten the name of - nothing too far from London, but still occasionally a couple of hours drive. If you get bored whilst in London, and Daystar is too busy for a duel, I'd take a drive out to see some of the other places in England too.

And if you're in the Northern Hemisphere whereby your Summer is Australia's Winter, dependent on when you go next year [As it would be when Summer comes around in the Northern Hemisphere], I might be able to run into you, as I'll be touring with my choir over there for some music Festival in Wales before heading down to London, then across to Paris.

But Daystar is not in London.

Besides, there is not need for Taco anywhere in the UK - fish and chips exist, after all. :p

But OK. I don't really know what's there to do in London. I assume meet the queen or something?

Ah yes England becomes the battleground for the fate of Earth yet again.
Well, it makes a change from New York, at least.

Why don't you leave London and come to the magical world that is... YORKSHIRE. It's the best place in the world and essentially 'gods country', non yorkshire areas don't really compare.

Ah yeah, I can't believe I forgot getting stabbed by chavs in my authentic london experience. My mistake.

There's a good pub next to Waterloo Station called the Hole in the Wall, which is worth knowing about because it tends to be quiet even when everywhere else is busy.

For stuff to see, the museums are the best (and almost all free). The Natural History Museum is my favourite (be sure to check out the carved animals on the outside before you go in) but the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) often has really interesting exhibitions on, and the Wallace Collection is the place to visit if you like swords, guns and ridiculous armour. The British Museum is - of course - world famous. They have amazing collections and also host some fantastic exhibitions (many of them free).

If you like art galleries, the Tate Modern is free and has some really interesting modern art. For more traditional fare, try the National Portrait Gallery (exactly what it says on the tin) and the Tate Britain.

The London Eye gives you a really great view of the city, but can be quiet expensive. The Tower of London is pretty reasonable, and you can see (some of) the crown jewels there. Which are very sparkly.

London is the best city in the world (although I've lived here all my life - save for four years away at university - so I may be biased). Enjoy your visit. :)

I'd recommend visiting Camden for a day (and a night out). It's a pretty fun place to go and chill. Lots of interesting characters about there.
