Okay so i was in London for about 3 nights, then in amsterdamn for about 4 nights, then i just got back to London for 3 nights. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!?? Being in Holland for 4 nights, then coming back to London was kinda a letdown. I'm in the Palmer's Hostel off of Swiss Cottege. So who's in LONDON!!!!????

5/27/2008 8:30:54 PM

Me!





no

5/27/2008 8:31:59 PM

i was there in march, but i didn't get to do much "fun" stuff while i was there. i was a chaperone for a high school trip, so we only did the touristy stuff.

5/27/2008 8:32:38 PM

i'm really drunk

5/27/2008 8:33:01 PM

Walk into some pubs and start talking about soccer and see how long it takes you to get your ass beat.

5/27/2008 8:33:35 PM

Get "Time Out" magazine ... that will tell you all of the happenings ....

5/27/2008 8:33:41 PM

i would put tww under things NOT to do in london . . . .









but that's just one guy's opinion.

5/27/2008 8:34:26 PM

^^^already did. "football". The fucking keyboard has the " in a different spot.

^i'm wasted and all the pubs close at 12-1.

EVERYTHING CLOSES EARLY HERE!

*Create AFTERPARTY.

5/27/2008 8:36:26 PM

you can join http://www.euphalo.com from anywhere in the world

5/27/2008 8:36:27 PM

oh man the weed in amsterdamn was amazing though.

5/27/2008 8:37:01 PM

yeah i was gonna put football but i didn't want to sound pretentious. that'd weird that all the pubs close so early over there. you'd think they were 24/7 or something. anyway, go to a crazy euro club or something pick up some english sloots with your suave american accent.

5/27/2008 8:37:37 PM

holy shit, I've been to London, and it was awesome.

Just walk around and find some of the pubs that aren't on any of the main roads, those are usually the best (best deals on beer, nice hotties, good people to party with).

also check out the palaces and all the chapels, etc that are there. do several of the tours (especially on the big red bus) because those are cool.

go to saint paul's cathedral, and walk the stairs to the top, great views of the city.


if you can't find anything cool to do in London, you're not really getting out. (or you are walking with blinders on).

5/27/2008 8:39:30 PM

^^fuck that. All the shit closes early here.

^yeah we've been doing a bunch of shit like that. It's just 1:40 and there's nothing to do.

[Edited on May 27, 2008 at 8:40 PM. Reason : ,.]

5/27/2008 8:39:44 PM

5/27/2008 8:40:59 PM

go to france and order a royal with cheese

5/27/2008 8:41:27 PM

^france is awesome, the food is great compared to here.

5/27/2008 8:42:15 PM

i hear paris smells bad. seriously.

that's like the worst burn on a country ever. your most beautiful and cultured city smells bad. lol.

[Edited on May 27, 2008 at 8:44 PM. Reason : grammer]

5/27/2008 8:44:11 PM

they do smell bad. All the french people i met wore the same clothes for about 3 daYS.

5/27/2008 8:48:17 PM

dude, that's the new trend.

5/27/2008 8:48:59 PM

venice smells worse.

5/27/2008 8:49:27 PM

Go to the Tate Museum
Go to Leicester Square and Picadilly at night
Check out the Royal Gardens during the day (Rembrant etc)

If you PM me I can connect you with my good mate who lives in East London.

5/27/2008 8:49:35 PM

^going to the tate museum tomorrow!

5/27/2008 8:50:44 PM

I went about once a week. It is a huge place. Definatly go to the British Museum as well if you havent.

5/27/2008 8:51:41 PM

5/27/2008 8:52:25 PM

the tate museum is awesome.

5/27/2008 8:54:15 PM

so is anyone in England RIGHT NOW!!!???

5/27/2008 8:58:40 PM

If you are lucky you will still be able to catch the Louise Bourgeois exhibit.

There's no outside alcohol in this hostel. So we've been riding the tube around drinking 1.09 stellas.

5/27/2008 9:08:10 PM

which part of the city are you in, or which tube stop?

5/27/2008 9:16:27 PM

I'm at the Palmer's hostel:
http://www.palmerslodge.co.uk/

It's at the Swiss Cottege stop on the Jubilleee line.

5/27/2008 9:18:10 PM

Jewbilee

5/27/2008 9:19:39 PM

dude, just walk east to Camden. You cant go wrong there.

5/27/2008 9:19:43 PM

^i was in Camden for a while the other day. Say some awesome live music.

5/27/2008 9:20:33 PM

Other than that I would recommend getting to Picad/Leisceter. During the day go and check out Trafalger (you can easily walk to the Palace) and the National (Art) Gallery there.

5/27/2008 9:21:53 PM

is the Eye actually worth the 16£ it costs?

5/27/2008 9:27:54 PM

i thought it was pretty rad. i went at night and the view was spectacular. 16 is kinda steep though imo.

5/27/2008 9:29:39 PM

omg, you were in Amsterdamn, g? How did that work out, b? I didn't know he was bi-curious!

5/27/2008 9:32:30 PM

^who was what? yeah i was in Harleem, Holland for 4 nights. Took a 15 minutes train ride into Amsterdamn each night. Was awesome. Just got back to London.

5/27/2008 9:34:25 PM

mind the gap

5/27/2008 9:51:57 PM

Ah, tell the hometown that Wraith says hi.

And get some Indian food.

5/27/2008 10:21:00 PM

^just got some indian food tonight after getting off the tube. The kebabs and nan are delicious after a night of drinking.

5/27/2008 10:22:31 PM

go to the British Museum and see the Rosetta Stone

walk around with an open container since its perfectly legal.....

go to the Tower of London, it might be a little tourist cliche....but its cool to see that old compound superimposed on the modern cityscape

just fucking walk around, people over there are cool as shit.

buy some fresh mushrooms while you're there, eat them, then try to get home

My girlfriend spent a month in London on Study Abroad two years ago. Here are her suggestions:

Thing to do…

-The Victoria & Albert museum is pretty badass. Use the South Kensington tube stop for the V&A.

-Both the Tate and the Tate Modern are must-see. Plus they are right next to the Thames. You can actually take a river boat to go between the two museums.

-The eye is so-so, but you can get an equally awesome view of the city by climbing St. Paul's. I think there might be a fee to climb the stairs to the top, but it's definitely less than the Eye, and much cooler.

-Steer clear of Leicester Square/Picadilly Circus at night for clubs/bars. Very very very tourist-y. But, it is pretty nice to walk around that area at night…lots of stuff and people to look at. For cheap pints, head towards the university side of town. "The Goose" is a pretty cool pub right by the U. of London. Take the Russell Square stop.

-See a West End show, if you are into that. You can purchase half price tickets the day of the show, in the late afternoon. Just walk around West End and look for the half price booths.

-Buckingham Palace is cool to look at from the outside. It's also right up against one side of Hyde Park, so you could just walk through the park to take a look at it.

-Regents Park is better. Most beautiful park I've ever seen. Must go. Trafalgar Square stop, I think? Or around there

-walk Oxford Street

-Greenwich…you have to take a short train ride out there, but if you buy an oyster card for the tube, the train will be covered as well.

5/28/2008 12:35:03 PM

^thanks for the tips. We did a lot of that. It just sucks cause shit closes so early here. It's hard to get good food past 8-9 and most pubs close at 11-12. Clubs do stay open late but that's about it.

5/29/2008 7:43:31 PM

^i had to walk through the McDonalds drivethrough

i was drunk too hahaha

ohhhh EuroTrip.

5/29/2008 8:33:27 PM

^i would imagine i would call it football over there, soccer being an american term. Just like i don't go around calling the tube the subway, or rubish bins trash cans.
