London Aquarium is a MUST see.

Also, there's a burger place next to the Good Mixer in Camden that is amazing (if a bit pricey).  Gotta get some decent grub in you (and the boozer next door ain't bad either)  :wink:

Tower of London is such a waste of time ><

If you wanna be surrounded by Japanese tourists for an entire journey and witness people trying to take all your money - Then by all means go :p

It's the incredibly rude (and dim) Spanish and Italian tourists I have difficultys with. Why they have to grab at piercings, or have conversations at the end of escalators is beyond me.

Back on topic, London is definately much more pleasant 'better out of season' unfortunitely the tourist season is getting longer each year

Oh yeah if it's still running the Dali exibition on the Southbank is excellent

London Eye is pretty good. This is whetting my appetite-I haven't been to London as a tourist for ages. I go there on business sometines though and try to get in and out as quick as possible. Enjoy your trip though.

I never got around to getting on the eye as my son couldn't be bothered waiting.

Hmmm I know the head of security for the Eye, I think it may be a good idea to look him up  :roll:

It'd be fun to take a whole band into one of the capsules on the London Eye and film an acoustic set as it goes up in the air
