If it's a nice day rock out Hyde Park. If it's shopping you want rock out camden/brick lane/oxford street. If it's drinking you want rock out Ben Crouches just off Regent Street/ the Intrepid Fox on Tottenham Court Road/ The Good Ship in Kilburn. For eating go Ed's in Soho, amazing. If you want a night out, go to The Roxy.

I'd advise you check out Southbank, Canary Wharf, Camden, St James' Park and the Ancient City Centre too.

Steer clear generally of the East End - especially Bow, Stepney Green, Peckham, Mile End, Lewisham and the like. Roough as.

Awesome info..thanks. Any idea of decent Hotels around there? Soho or the like? Most are killer expensive on Trip Advisor...

you're a guy?

Anyone with a sig like that comes off as some egdy, goth-kid.

So when you go to London, the first thing you ought to do is change your avatar.

HAHAHA edgy goth kid. Wow. I'm a 38 yr old guy.

Why should I change my avatar?

I would take a ride on the London Eye, if it's open at night and check out Covent Garden, there's usually some great street acts on around there and a good atmosphere..

Gordon.

I never saw the appeal of the London eye, get pissed....it's the British thing to do.

I was down in London a few weeks back and Camden is definitely the place. Great pubs, attitude, stores and atmosphere. I had a ball.

I went on the london eye last year. and yes it is alright, but after being 1/4 way round its boring as you've already seen everything. and it takes a ****ing lifetime to go round. it is alright though, its just something i would do once, then definitely not do again.

How much was it (if ya don't mind me asking)?

for an adult it was about 15ish pounds, and about 10 for a child. I think it was a little more for an adult though, this was last year too. I dont think prices have changed much though.
