I guess not many people on here from London who would like sit and have a chat.
I sent a message to Kate Bush telling her about here namesake and she was so touched she insisted we come see her concert and visit with her. So this is probably my one chance to see her live, and to meet her.

I used to spend days in this bookstore when visiting London. This was before Amazon though.

Go and visit HMS Belfast (Big warship floating on the Thames).
Don't refer to it as "London, England" either or you will get funny looks. Only Americans do that, the rest of the just says "London" or "Dubai" and expects people to know a bit of geography.
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Nobody wants to together to bend an elbow somewhere?
As far as saying "London, England", it is an old habit as in my old province Ontario in Canada there is a London also. So if we wanted to not be mistaken we needed to say "London, England". So it isn't only Americans........

Are you only going to London for the two weeks.
So much to see in England, would be a shame to spend all two weeks in London?
One thing lots of tourists forget is the borders/ Northumberland 'castle belt'. Also, if you enjoy a night out, there is nothing quite like Newcastle.
/geordie mode off.
He he, Mojo Chan, you really can't give up on US bashing but I understand your envy.
Man, you really have it in for me, huh? Maybe you could lay off the ad hominem attacks for a bit, okay?
Seriously, any Americans visiting Europe, you will get funny looks if you start talking about "Paris, France" because it's mildly insulting to us - it implies we don't know where Paris is.

As in a concert? All that way
Who was it?
but whatever you do, unless you enjoy being vomited on by barely dressed drunken women as their boyfriends try and pick a fight, I'd avoid Newcastle city center on a weekend night.
when are you comming to london to see us?
BTW the English food isn't as bad as they say it is. You can get a decent meal in a pub for a decent price.
Avebury is most famous for its ancient stone circles. The main circle is roughly the same age as Stonehenge but much larger - the village is built in and around it and the main road runs right through it.
A night out in the Biig market, nothing finer than being vomited over by drunken, barely clothed, women whilst their boyfriends try and pick a fight with you. England has many attractions, and if you have a thing for the above then fine, however I suspect that very few would put it high on their list of things to do.
