You should . Everywhere is just fab. Something different around every corner. I think you'd appreciate it & have an ace time. Couple it in with a trip to Scotland, Wales , NI .

I agree that this is the best thing of all for a visitor to do. I've been to London plenty of times, and if I have any time at all to spare I go to Victoria station, pick a double-decker more or less at random, and ride it as far as it goes - and then back. A wonderful experience.

I found the reproduction of that in Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando to be disconcerting.

Great Nepalese, Thames Tandoori, Sitar.

Lion in Winter

What?

A museum exhibit???

I remember seeing the pig hanging from the chimneys of Battersea Power Station.

Guindalf

Ahh, the cover of Animals!

I had a friend who was a sound engineer for Floyd back in the day. He was holding onto the rope of the pig, which escaped and they had to inform Air Traffic Control as it interfered with commercial flights!

More on the exhibition...

Was the Harry Potter experience since the addition of the enchanted forest? It's a new bit and they have been advertising it extensively.

Along the same lines, I wouldn't mind going all the way sometime - to Cockfosters.

My two pennorth. Yes, a hop on hop off tour bus , an Oyster card https://www.londontoolkit.com/briefing/oystercard.htm - max amount payable per day, then effectively free. you can then go anywhere in London by Tube or bus. Visit places you don't see much on TV such as the Horniman Museum, London Transport Museum in Covent Garden and any Theatre - cheap tickets available on the day from the kiosk in Leicester Square.TKTS - London Theatre Tickets

Open top double decker around the sights, depending on their age the Churchill War Rooms. Used to work opposite and spent quite a few lunchtimes down there. Buck Palace, River cruise, Madam Tussauds, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, How long do they have??? My kids loved going to Aldenham Park to play in 100 Aker Wood. Was a must do every summer holidays.

No, we went a couple years back.

Oakvillian

But... but... but surely 100 Acre Wood is part of Ashdown Forest in E Sussex? Not some Disneyfied pastiche outside Elstree

I hate to break the news to you but Pooh was an inanimate stuffed bear, that featured in fictional stories.

I like the bus idea. Maybe the number 11 bus, which goes by St Paul's, the Royal Courts of Justice, Trafalgar Square, and Westminster.

Has anybody been to the View from the Shard? It's expensive, though not that much more than many London attractions at £30 each (all the free museums make up for how dear everything else is!) I've done the London Eye but I reckon you'd see even more from the Shard.
