      Is that a restaurant or art exhibition? I'm confused. Google Maps came up with nothing.

    Here's what you're going to do OP:

    >selfie at Buckingham Palace, film the Changing of the Guard
    >Big Ben / Westminster Abbey
    >Trafalgar Square, look at the pictures in the National Gallery

    >spend the morning at the British Museum looking at the exhibits
    >afternoon tea at Covent Garden (fancy teapots, sandwiches with the crusts cut off, miniature cakes etc)
    >see a show at the West End

    >day trip north to York from Kings Cross station (Harry Potter at the station, 2.5h by high-speed train, twee shops in the York Shambles, the gigantic cathedral, the railway museum, Viking history exhibits, York Castle)
    OR
    >day trip west to Bath from Paddington station (Paddington Bear at the station, 1.5h by high-speed train, Jane Austen and the Roman baths in Bath)
    OR, if you're feeling brave
    >day trip north to Edinburgh (five hours' travel from Kings Cross station by high-speed train - the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Edinburgh Museum)

    >Tower of London tour (see the Crown israeliteels, pet the resident ravens)
    >Tower Bridge tour
    >street food from Borough Market
    >see The View from the Shard as the sun sets over London

    there, that's roughly four days of Standard London for Tourists

        like I said, it's if you're brave. you can make the trip in juuust under five hours by fast train, so set off bright and early you can be there for about 11:00, then have five to six hours exploring the city before making it back to London by 22:00-23:00. There's also the overnight Caledonian Sleeper train if you want to go all-out on a 'trip of a lifetime' kind of thing, which could take you elsewhere in Scotland as well.

        I did it once for work. Had to go to a meeting in Ed at very short notice and it was a long day but fine. People commute
        London - Edinburgh on a weekly basis if they have a flat in zone 2
        For tourists I would get an Airbnb over night.

      What would you recommend doing that's not so Standard Tourist-y? I have four days to kill in London in September but I've already done a lot of the stuff on your list

        please understand that I mean 'Standard Tourist' not as a sneer, but in the understanding that someone travelling to London for the first time is almost certainly going to want to see the bridge and the palace and the big clock etc etc.

        and september, awkward time - not quite summer, not quite Christmas. random thoughts: i'd take a look at the O2 Arena or westend.com and see if there's a show you might like. EGX (gaming con) is at the Excel convention centre next month, and there's an England/Germany match on at Wembley as well, so if you don't get tickets the pubs and clubs will be full. the London Transit Museum in Covent Garden do 'Hidden London' walking tours that take you through older, blocked-off parts of the Underground. the Sky Garden on Fenchurch Street is great for enjoying a view over drinks. Kew Gardens is gigantic and if the weather's good, go see the Japanese Garden, if not, the Palm House is gorgeous. Take a walk along the Regent's Canal behind Kings Cross, up to Camden Market for its twee hipster shops.

        Attend the ceremony if the keys at the tower, very atmospheric
        Try chislehurst caves
        Highgate cemetery
        Get a train to Leeds Castle or Hever Castle or Scotney Castle or something like that in Kent.

        Visit Canterbury cathedral its easy to get there from London.

    can tourists go mud larking or do you need a special permit?

    • 2 years ago

      Mudlarkers definitely need a permit, I don't know the specifics but I'd imagine it's so you don't go tearing apart somewhere that animals use for nesting or whatever.

    I stand corrected:
    >https://britishheritage.com/history/mudlarking-thames-treasures-london
    >Haughey explains that anyone can hunt for artifacts along the Thames. Many hobbyists do it regularly. “But if you do it, you should have a permit. English Heritage laws can specify which areas you can work in and which areas you can’t,” she says. “More importantly, they specify how much you can dig, if at all. For example, unless any of you can produce a Thames foreshore permit, you are not allowed to move any dirt at all, and by that I mean scuffing it with your foot or using a bit of nail to move things around. What you can do is pick things up, but you can’t move dirt.”

    Go to the Proms

    Rent a boat in paddington (goboat.co.uk) or go on a canal cruise. You can take it past Regents Park and through some tunnels, it's something not a lot of tourists see.

    Rent a boris bike and ride down the embankment "cycle superhighway"

    Walk around in Hyde Park, take photos of squirrels, visit Kensington Palace gardens
