I'm in London. Where should I go?
- Thread starter bdplaid
- Start date
Yes, go to small towns and meet regular people. You will find them eager to hang out and talk with you.
Skip the usual tourist places. I didn't find them to be any big deal.
Pick one of these and go. They do an excellent job.

London Walks - London's Best Guided Walking Tours
We offer 5* rated walking tours throughout London by the finest blue badge guides. Join us for a few hours of discovery, facts and entertainment.
Instead of just only the capital city, there are many regional cities, Birmingham, (Sabbath) Manchester (Magazine, Oasis) Liverpool (apart from obvious, Teardrop Explodes, Elvis Costello) Hull (Fine New Cannibals, Mick Ronson), Newcastle (Animals), Glasgow (SAHB), Edinburgh (Rezillos) to just name a few. All of these places have very vibrant scenes and cultural institutions, all less than or within 3 hours rail travel from London.
Then there's the provinces themselves, so much beautiful countryside, village pubs mentioned above, unbelievable walks, the Welsh and Scottish borders, honestly, you don't have to just visit London and say you've ticked the UK off your bucket list. It's a small country but so big on regional culture difference within a couple of miles from each other. It's a big little world.

The Bass Centre - London - England
If you can get to Bagshot (they have some great names don’t they) check out The Bass Centre.

Catch a pub band. I caught one about a block away for the Thistle Hotel (SP:?) at Marble Arch that was an absolute killer.
another vote for the Bass Gallery in Camden. great shop. you might as well pop into the Camden branch of Guitarguitar while you're there. and the Black Heart for a pint (or whatever else).
Borough market for food
Museum district (South Kensington) for, well, museums
Tate Modern or Tate regular if you like art (new and old respectively)
a walk along South Bank if the weather holds

My memories was for a 3 piece rock band, playing original music that was entertainingly performed, they were outstanding.
I also really enjoyed Camden Market. Also the Tower of London should not be missed.
I got around the city via E-Bike. You will see the city in an entirely different way. You’ll be riding along a main road, then you’ll take a left and be on a street that looks straight out of Harry Potter.
