I Have Been to London

it is a second home to me

my first recomendation is all the art museums. pace yourself. two hours each timeyo go. dont burn out. specific places that are unique to london are Kew gardens which is a huge botanical garden. spend at least three hours. take a picnic lunch. Highgate cemetery, which is another day trip. It has karl marxs grave, and you can take a guided tour of the abandoned part of the cemetery. wonderfully creepy and beautiful, then walk through hampstead heath and go to the kenwood house museum to see two paintings. the vermeer and rembrandt. Go to the tower of london on sunday morning and skip tothe front of the line and tell them you are going to the "matins service" which is the church service they have. It will save you the entrance fee and time, then go in, sit down for five minutes, then leave and go enjoy the rest of the tower free. Portobello road antiques market on sat morning. crowded, expensive, touristy. I prefer Bermonsdsy open market on thursday. You must see a play every night. Espceially the national theater and the globe. tickets are much cheaper than new york and the acting is the best n the world. You can get reduced price return tickets. walk through hide park. Covenant garden has great street performers. walk along the thames at night. courtauld museum is a jewel of a museum. good art, and small. John soane museum is free and the most unusual musuem in london. really fun. kids will like it. be sure and ask to see the hidden paintings

are you an inteligent traveller who appreciates history and culture, or a clueless one who just likes to be entertained

Truthfully a bit of both. I do love seeing anything historical but at the same time I do like to go out and have fun in the evenings
