England Recommendations

Jakey · 10-27-2006

I am going to be spending my Thanksgiving break in England; arriving in London at 9:45AM on 11/19 and flying home at 12:10PM on 11/24. My schedule is pretty, full but I think I am going to have most of the 19th free in London as well as the late afternoon/early evening on the 23rd. Does anyone have any recommendations on things I should try to see?

There's plenty to see but the most fun I had was sitting down at a pub with the locals and having a pint or two.

I have a friend who has spent a LOT of time in England and around London. I'll try to get ahold of him and see what he recommends.

Just go to a bunch of pubs. If you want the real UK experience, just go drink beer and start talking to people. I used to live there (scotland, actually) and that's about all they do!

I agree with the pubs if you do not do anything else go to the pubs.

Be a MAN-WHORE. Leave them something to talk about when your gone.

make fun of their lack of dental science!

I agree with the pubs thing, if you're into clubbing there's a shitload of good clubs there. The london eye is awesome too if you're into that sort of stuff and the Tower of London is a pretty cool experience.

I was gonna go there again a week ago.... but I had to deal with other shit instead. Round trip tickets are off the hook at $575 round trip after taxes.

Be sure to try some of the cider's over there. They are kick ass! They will also kick your ass

Also, learn how to signal for 2. Putting your hand the american way and holding up 2 fingers is like flicking them off. I found that most of the English don't like americans, but Scottland was great. I had the best time in Edinburough. It would be a bit of a hike from London.

Don't forget to keep on the lookout for cool cars. England has a lot of cool cars that we never see over here. Older EVOs and FTOs are the cool Mitsus over there that you just don't see in the USA.

later,

Where in London are you going to be? Its not small like the downtown here, its pretty much a day thing to cross london. I say clubs, pubs, and of course a fish and chip shop. How i miss the homeland!!

I could have had my ticket for just under $541 but waited too long and now it's costing me $639.

I'm usually a picture whore so hopefully I'll see a good variety of vehicles.

I'm flying into Heathrow but will be leaving London Sunday afternoon/night and not coming back to London until Thursday afternoon.

Thanks!

Well I'm already spending a fortune and I haven't even left yet; my Thursday night hotel room is going to run me (based on today's exchange rate) $352.79. Damn stuff is expensive over there. Oh well, at least it's a Hilton

There's so much to do over there. Remember to visit a ciber cafe and keep us up dated.
