I'm not English, but was there to visit last summer.  One of my favorite neighborhoods in London was in and around the Brick Lane Markets.  Kinda grungy and not for everyone, but I had fun.  Lotsa cheap curry if you're into that.

Oxford University is actually a really nice place to visit. Then the Southbank is an absolute must.

I am planning on visiting those places. After watching a lot of Inspector Morse and Lewis I just needed to go there.

Really depends on what type of thing you interested in. Museums? Art Galleries? Music? Markets? What kind of thing are you interested in?

Maybe not markets but since it is the first time I'm going there I'm open for any other kind of suggestion.

Thanks all.

As a Welshman with a bit of experience of London, if you are interested in museums then there is some fantastic stuff there.

Also if you are interested in Shakespeare or just theatre in general, there is the Globe theatre, a replica of the original theatre that Shakespeare's plays were performed in.  Saw King Lear there on a school trip once, it was a pretty interesting experience anyway though can't say I'm much of a fan of Shakespeare.

Hey this is kind of off-topic for this thread, but I figured this would be a good place to pose this question.  Can some English folks finally clear up for this Yank the differences between England, Wales, Great Britain, the United Kingdom and Scotland?  It's something that I've never fully understood.  Ireland is it's own island so that makes it easy to see where they fit in.  My understanding is that England is it's own island, Scotland is in the north and Britain is in the south, and together they make up the United Kingdom.  But where does Wales fit in?  And I could be completely wrong about all of that, so can somebody who knows please clear this up for me once and for all?  Thanks in advance!  :biggrin:

The island Britain has three countries: Scotland, England and Wales. United Kingdom is Britain and Northern Ireland.


England isn't it's own island, it's one of the countries in Britain.

See, shows how much I know!  Thanks so much for clarifying all of that!  :tup  And I would also like to take this time to apologize to my fellow Americans for making us look dumb by posing what was probably a silly question to our friends across the pond.  :blush

Haha that's ok   :)

And it isn't that silly, the whole UK/GB thing used to confuse me when I was younger.

I did lol a bit when you said England was the island and Scotland was in it though, that's the stereotypical way to piss of Scottish people  :P

Stonehenge is nice, bit far out from London. But I live like 3 miles from it, so it's all the same old same old nowadays.

South Bank is definitely a place to go :)
Greenwich is also nice, especially after the Thames Clipper ride :D

London is pretty much full of touristy stuff :D

Yeah taking a boat tour from Westminster to Greenwcih is cool, I'd recommend it if you've never been to London before.
