I don't know, it's all a horrible messy blur, but strange...strangely exciting...then I wake up again....sometimes there is blood...and the newspaper arrives and it says..."ANOTHER ONE DEAD"....

Rimbaud III wrote:The National Film Theatre (in Waterloo) - Go for a (GOOD) film, but stay for a drink by the river and a casual perusal of the second-hand books being sold directly outside.


Go with Rimbaud's suggestion. Try and see if you can go on a sunny day if you fancy sitting for a drink outside or looking at the books.

Quite. Everyone loves fish and chips. Except Gramsci. Just avoid kebab houses, fried chicken places or places that sell fries as opposed to proper chips. They should arrive wrapped in paper and not in a polystyrene box.

I recommend the Imperial War Museum. It's pretty awesome.

Brick Lane is a shit-hole in my opinion, but they do have some good Indian restaurants.

My favourite restaurant/gastro-pub is The Atlas on Seagrave Road. It's near the West Brompton tube stop. The food is good and they sell Staropramen on draught which is nice.

I'd maybe go to Shoreditch some night just to see some of the sort of people who hang out there as it can be interesting.

If you have a spare few hours, I'd take a walk through Hyde park as it's quite nice.

Bugger the curries, I'm sure everyone will be more interested in the new Rough Trade store

Apparently, billing yourself as "member of the Glenn Branca Orchestra" carries some serious clout there (as I found out too late, else I would have capitalized on it in October) so make of that what you will.

You guys covered it. London is possibly my favorite city on the face of this earth. to visit. avoid Taussauds. its crap and you will line up for ever.

go to Abbey road. the studio has a webcam trained at the crossing. take off your shoes. ring a freind at home. tell them the url of the cam (www.abbeyroad.something orother) google it. get them to capture you over the www on the crossing! or fuck it, just drink 10 pints of spitfire. have a blast!

The Hunterian Museum: http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums

It's at the Royal College of Surgeons which is really close to Tottenham Ct Rd area.

It's small but you can spend hours in there. Don't go with a hangover or a 'loose' stomach:

And obviously the Tate Modern and Natural History Museum...
