Work is sending me to London for a few days (I live up in the north) and I should have quite a bit of free time to do stuff whilst I'm there. What should I do?

Should I go and catch a show like lez miz or cats or something?

Should I do all the tourist stuff maybe try and catch a glimpse of the Queen's knickers?

Should I visit Harrods and do a bit of shopping?

Should I blend in with the locals eat a pot of jellied eels find a nice boozer and join in a sing along to knees up mother brown?

Tell me what I should do.

you could also go to the V&A, which si the best museum in the country in my opinion, actually possibly in europe? (and that means the world, considering the abysmal fair the yanks and asians serve up in this arena) and is also free.

I prefer Pitt Rivers, but the V&A is pretty OK.

The British Museum is awesome and chock full of things your people looted from all around the world. Let your chest fill with national pride as you witness first hand your ancestors' ability to steal most of the Parthenon.

It's funny because you go to Athens and there's a shitload of statues without heads, which is totally weird. And then you go to the British Museum and there's a shitload of statue heads, and you're like "ohhhhhhh, I see"

the thing I "like" most about London is how they had several chances (great fire, WW2) to remodel the city in a sensible, non-medieval fashion but instead rebuilt it exactly the same so there's a shitload of awful narrow roads and alleyways that go nowhere

great job lads

Make eye contact with as many people as you can on the tube.

Smile at them.

The first person to smile back will either be Black, Asian or Polish.
