If you don't want to go into central then maybe Highgate Cemetery with Karl Marx's grave, that's worth a look and suitably goth, and Highgate Village is all very posh London with some nice albeit pricey pubs. Hampstead Heath is close for great views over London.
Depends how long you're here for and what you're into (obviously!)
Hmm, fair question. We're not going long, just staying in London for the show nights, and am working out where else we're going around that. Mostly likely side questing briefly to Manchester. Maybe to Lille for the gig there and the novelty of being able to take a train between countries.
Not posh tastes wise. I prefer food places/pubs that are more just local/everyday over fancier options if that makes sense. I'd rather know where to go for decent fish and chips and kebabs than say, a wine bar. Tolerable coffee - just plain freaking coffee - and baked goods also a plus. Sausage rolls are a staple here so am curious if any differences. I've never had a Yorkshire pudding or a jaffa cake, or snakebite and black. I
have murdered many currys, and I'll do it again. Most of the rest of my British culinary references admittedly come from Blackadder or Young ones.
Highgate is prob on the list as the American is dead keen (sorry) on cemeteries so that's good to confirm. Record stores, used book stores, charity shops. The canals look interesting. Lots of the parks look lovely. Not keen on generic souvenir tat, but like supporting local artists in most mediums where possible. I like just wandering and taking in neighbourhoods, also prefer slightly quieter areas to busier hubs, if that makes sense. I've been told Camden Passage might be more my thing? Primrose Hill, Camly St Park, and Islington also got mentioned.
I believe our weather in Seattle is quite similar to London’s, just 8hrs behind.
