Advantages: Great days out
Disadvantages: None
I have lived in London all my life and there was so much and still is that i have not yet seen and no matter what we all say we do live in a fantastic city with loads to do so here is a list of just some of the great things to do in London. LONDON EYE There is not one person i have spoken to that has a bad thing to say about the London eye. Once you have queued up for about half an hour which is the worst point you go into a pod and go round in a huge circle and what a sight you see once your about half way,London really does look amazing from so high up and you get a whole 30 mins to see it all a must for all Londeners to check out. TOWER of LONDON A beautiful yet gorry place to see what with it's history of chopped heads and imprisionment,torture not to mention the crown jewels(made me wanna take them home). The Beefeaters are a great tradition and look fantastic in all their glory. Once inside the feeling of history for me was fantastic great old rooms,cells torture implements etc etc. The old gates that are where the boats used to bring in prisioners for execution in a weird way really fasinate me just to think people used to come through it knowing they would not be coming back. History and beauty combined perfectly. LONDON DUNGEONS Take a trip around the great London Dungeons a great follow on to the Tower because you can see all the gorry details of how people were tortured and killed back in the days of old Henry 8 also models of people suffering from the plague etc etc,we are all in some way fasinated by gore and blood so get in there and don't forget your gorry postcards for mates they will love them. TATE MODERN GALLERY It is hard to believe that this beautiful building used to be a power station it really has been transformed into a fantastic work of art,thats not to mention the art it contains,some of the art is not what i would class as art but most is i
ntriging if not brilliant. Sections are seperated into History,memory,society,nude,action,body,still life,object,real life all of which have some really bizarre pieces. My favorite and most strange was a black room with a video of a naked man jumping on a bed to really strange music weird but fasinating. All of these are on the river and can be reached by boat,train,bus there is so much history and so many attractions to see along the River Thames yet it still only seems to be visited by tourist so if you live in London go find out about our beautiful city who knows you may like it.

- 12/08/01 Hi SBG, I enjoyed your op, but wondered whether you could add in how much each of the attractions cost. I also wondered whether it would really be better suited to the London in General category rather than just River Thames. |
