Default What to do in London

On a course in London next week, Near the Tate modern, there four nights so need something to do other than looking at filth on my laptop, so far I was thinking I could go in the Tate modern, go on the big wheel thingy, go to the Imax and look at filth on my laptop.

Any other suggestions ?

Might not be a good idea to look at filth on your laptop when you are in the Imax, the folks behind might not appreciated it

Now if you go to the Imax, and connect your laptop up to the screen and then look at filth .......

i live about 1/2 a mile from hackney and i know what you are talking about but they are very careful who they let in nowadays. For a kick go to camden town station opposite it there is a hardcore rock club, forgot the name(went once in my uni days), had the most scariest time of my life and also this fat rock chick wont leave me alone. damn wot a nite it was the best we went to!!

On a serious level though, try London Dungeon, tower of London, Tower Bridges is really cool at night, yep try the mill wheel, why dont you go down to tottenham court road and enjoy an evening in spearmint rhino, always wanted to go for the experience but never had a chance. If you like indian then definitly go Brick lane!

Well, went to London and was stuck in a Websphere course all day but managed to go out at night/post course.

So, I sank a few pints, on my todd and called everybody in my phones address book, I think even my Grandma was itching to get shut of me so she could resume soap opera duties, spoke to J4CKO's mate (tm) at length about many subjects, he suggested that I was probably a practising homosexual (what does that mean, are there fully qualified ones ?) based on my cultural exploits, as explained below.

I ate at a Nando's four times cos it was near the hotel, not quite sure why otherwise, all of Londons Gastronomic delights and I pick a Chicken chain, main reason was the billy no mates in a restaurant thing, quite like going for a pint on my own with the paper at home but a meal on your own is just desperate and the others on the course all fooked off home or were mute IT types anyway, so takeaway in the room it was.

So, went on the London Eye which was good, pretty much what you imagine really. Looked out at the building in front and about 300 feet up on a balcony there was a woman reading a book, now for me that would be a fantastic chance to freak out tourists of all nationalities, pretending to jump, fake rocket launcher, flashing, the possibilities are endless.

Spent many hours mooching the tate modern, not bothered with all the paintings and shi1 but I spent my time perving at young female art students, nearly killed a young Japanese couple, I dropped the kind of fart that can only be acheived by eating four days worth of Nando's finest with the hottest sauce they do on top, I am sure they thought it was a terror attack at first.

I actually went to see a Shakespeare play at the Globe and kind of enjoyed it, 'A comedy of Errors', apparently its the most accessible of Shakespears plays and had some mildly amusing slapstick in it, also it seems that Shakespeare started the 'Yo Momma is so fat' jokes which I appareciated, in future I think I will stick to my usuall favourites which include either talking animals or exploding helicopters and breasts but it was a lot more palatable than I thought it would be but still I am going to complain to the Hotel company that there was no filth channel and the wifi wasnt working.
