It's an easy pub to miss. It sits all on it's own and looks like it should have a statue on top. Here's the website:

Didn't the Euston Tap used to be a private members' club - for women only - or am I dreaming.....

Getting Around: You can buy daily travel cards that are valid on buses, the tube and the rail network within London. Probably your best bet there.


I always advise my friends visiting London that 3 days is a sort of cutoff point. 3 days or more, then its cheaper to get an Oyster card I reckon - especially if planning to come back one day.

Sorry to disagree Andrew W :( but I would suggest getting two Oyster cards immediately when arriving.

You need to see the Imperial War Museum. I was absolutely knocked flat by it.
I loved it how incredibly thorough and detailed the exhibits were, and how they were refreshingly free of any sort of flag-waving. Everything was presented very objectively, and was supremely objective, IMO.

Tate Modern was also great.

As for London being terrible; I couldn't disagree more :lol:
I loved the place, since it reminded in some ways of a bigger version of my own home, Copenhagen. I don't like being out in nature/remote places all alone for holidays or daily life or... Well.. Anything.
I love the feeling of a busy metropolis that never sleeps, and in that department, London seems to deliver :)
Can't wait to go there during Easter!

Totally agree with you regarding the three day limit/Oyster card.
