Off to London

Go and climb this and enjoy the views

The London Eye is over hyped and over priced so try to get down to see this: http://www.emiratesairline.co.uk/ views are just as spectacular and it’ll cost you less than a quid.

If you want some of the best fish and chips in London try The Seashell at the bottom of Lisson Grove near Marylebone Station or authentic Dim sum in Chinatown, go to Wardour St, just behind Leicester Square.

London Planetarium is pretty cool.

Doesn’t exist anymore. It is part of madam Tussaud’s. Stay well away.
The observatory at Greenwich is the place to go.

Greenwich tunnel is for me an interesting one.

24 hour Beigel Bakery up the top of Brick Lane.
Best curries anywhere up Brick Lane too.
In the East End, first left off the Mile End Road.

It costs more then a quid to go on the cable car.

In what way?

And just down the river is the Woolwich Foot Tunnel which is deeper and longer and can be combined with a visit to the Thames Barrier.

Condor, Grays Inn Road (not open Sunday)...take your credit card

Tower Bridge? The glass floor between the towers is cool, especially if you manage to catch it when the roadway is raised to let a ship pass.

If you fancy the monument, a combined ticket is available.

Not sure really, I just always enjoyed the place and so have many others I have told about it. Could be that my nan lived just around the corner when I was a kid.

The tower Bridge website has a page telling you when the scheduled openings will happen. It is easy to check.

The M1 Northbound out of London is very popular.

Have you cycled round collecting the monopoly board places? That is quite good fun with a part of it planning your route.

@jefmcg and I did that with another friend last year. Good fun, just don't try to do it in order! Quite challenging on a boris bike I'd think

HMS Belfast has (or it did when I visited some years ago) its big gun targeted on Scratchwood (now London Gateway) services. Presumably to deter escape.
