Cool! Going on holiday? Meeting other Scapers?
I love London - been there 20-something times. Be sure to take your time walking in Camden and Bayswater, and don't forget the pubs Dogstar in Brixton and Entrepid Fox in Soho.

Shop on the High Streets, not in the touristy areas. You'll save oodles of krindars. Camden Market is the best IMO. Check out Cyberdog for interesting clothes and music whether you like clubbing or not. It's a very interesting store...

If you have the chance take the Jack the Ripper walking tour. It's best done at twilight and is really cool if you like stuff like that. They guys that own the tour company used to work for Scotland Yard.

Eat some McVitties Biccies for me!!!

Check out "The Windsor Castle" pub in Notting Hill near Portobello Market. It has a really nice beer garden out back, all the barmen are Irish and very funny, and it's run by a retired Major in the Light Guards, Mr Owen. Tell him Fiona says hi.

And have a great time. How long you going for?

Awwwww... I'm sorry Kurt. It happens to everybody at some point. Like the time I was in Athens and the Acropolis was closed because the city workers went on a strike. :eh:

Think of it this way: it gives you and excuse to go back! :yes:
