London?

by hvK • 21 Jan 2009, 14:01 • Journals
So me and a couple of friends are going to London tomorrow because it's really cheap (the journey), and I was wondering if there was anything fun to do there?

Last time I went there was in 2000 and that was for the Dome so yeh, kinda behind

Incase you haven't noticed, this journal probably best suits UK people

Only thing is big german towns that is cheap is kebap, everything else is expensive.

kebab is cheap everywhere LOLZ

wsk 21 Jan 2009, 14:16
yes, but the cheapest kebap in germany you can buy in Berlin. Reason why we had couple of those rotten-meat-scandals in germany last years. You can't sell good food for 1.50 € I guess :P

And you can get it even cheaper than that here. I bought a return ticket from Cardiff to London once for £7 (which is still pricey compared to some)

anything fun to do in london? it's the biggest city in europe lol

depends what your looking to do. you looking to go out on the piss? or tourist stuff?
▼
hvK 21 Jan 2009, 14:35
Either

E: We're most likely going to meet up with a few friends and fuck around / get pissed

Pavaskafan 21 Jan 2009, 14:42
Madam Tussauds for tourist stuff
Parent

SpeaKeR 21 Jan 2009, 18:44
tbh you just wanna go out around trafalga square, then you can just walk to oxford treet, leicester square, piccadilly circus etc thats where all the decent clubs are etc. then hop over to soho if you wanna get things dirty, high street kensington if you want classy birds.

if your lookin for millionnaire birds then go sloane square (but u seriously need to be driving a ferrari to pull em)

if you want cheaper birds then fulham is decent, as is wimbledon. the 156 bus route has a decent amount of pubs with decent birds in there. always seems easy to pull there anyway.

i was in London a week ago, I went to the Shakespare Globe, The Eye, Camden Market, Hyde Park/Kensington Park, Chelsea/Kensington/Shepperd's Market/Wimbledon, Chinatown, Trafalgar Square, Bayswater, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus, etc!

If you know someone through ET I'd recommend you propose to meet that person, I didn't regret :) Nice hanging out with someone that is local.
