    Went to London yesterday to my VISA for America....gpt it all sorted :D not long now, till i hit New York!!

    anyway.....after my visit to the embassy we had some time to spare, nd went around london for abit....i was amazed!!! :love:
    its soooo pretty, its the first time i'd ever been:oops:

    we went on the london eye, seen big ben, the houses of parliment etc ect, nd had loadsa fun!
    the tubes are mint!!, but confussing at times tho, but hey im blonde!! hehehe

    we aslo went along all the famous shopping streets, regent street, parklane, mayfair, in fact nearly everywhere on the monopoly board, i was like a little kid, loving it!

    to top in off, we headed to leister square to go for a chinese in china town, nd there was a film premiere on, aww had a wkd day, didnt appreciate how nice london realy was!

    anyhow, what im gettin at is......have u ever been to london?

    yeah london is a great place but sometimes its so hectic it gets to you.

    Like rush hour on the tubes, it sucks. Big style.

    Other than that, it's a MASSIVE city, so you're never short of something to do, however, it is also very expensive :rolleyes:

    Glad you had fun.

    :up:

    I did the whole bum bag tourist thing in Feb, had a good time but I've seen it now and as much as I enjoyed it I've seen enough Beefeaters to last a life time, and that was just Soho. :D

    I really like London, often down there each summer to see my uncle for a week or two. The local people are well friendly too - Opposed to the tossers in Middlesbrough etc...

    The underground's a quality mode of transport ... although I used to hate going on it, mainly because of seeing all the crashes and seeing people throw themselves onto the track when watching London's Burning back in the day :cool:

    Mainly go shopping down Oxford Road, then onto Knightsbridge.

    lived in london for about 2 years and thought it was class, bein able to get pretty much anythin you want whenever you want is sweet, you do get sick of constant noise sometimes, and when it's hot you can't breathe.... apart from that its a class city!!

    I think it's the best night out in England. There is so much to do it's unreal. I was in Leceister Sq a few weeks back. It's a great night out. My mrs lives down there (PALACE FAN) so I go every few weeks. I'd love to live there. Shame it's so damn expensive.

    London is really cool...but i agree wiv whoever sed it up there ^ It can get a bit insane sometimes..when its soo busy and hot and stuff i just wanna be back in shitley bay where theres not as many people!
    I went to stay over there for a while a couple of summers ago cos my auntie lived there for a while (she moved to new york actually!) and its completely lovely..it was a lush summer and theres never nothing 2 do...suppose it just gets boring if u live there though...stuff always seems better when u dont live there.
    I went to..(sp!?!) Madam Tusards...reeli dont know how 2 spell that! & it was soo good..it was completely ages ago though..theres so many more ppl there now...dont even think the spice girls were there when i went...apparently they just did beyonce aswell. Think im going this summer for a couple of days.
    If half the people just went away for a while and it was a bit quieter and cheaper it would be the best place ever! :D x:groovy:
