So, there's fuck all to do in London

I've not been there in a couple of years, but...

Portobello Road Market
Camden Market
Museum of the Moving Image
Science Museum (Buttons to press!!!! )
British Museum ("And here we see something that we nicked from...")
Natural History Museum
Changing the guard at Buck House
Pointing at the silly men in bearskins
Hurling abuse and incendiary devices over the iron gates at the end of Downing Street
Madame Tussauds
Planetarium
National Gallery
National Portrait Gallery
Trafalgar Square
Admiralty Arch (home of the world's most expensive wallpaper)
Kew Gardens (pretty flaahs)
Shopping
Denmark Street (musical instrument shops)
Sister Ray Records on Berwick Street

I see, I have to go to London again somehow. I was there some 16 years ago.. I liked it a lot.

You could also go for a pint in the Intrepid Fox, before it's pulled down to make way for flats, or the Devonshire Arms, before it's turned into a wine bar. . Or the Electric Ballroom before it's knocked down..

Get me a couple of Ghostie boots while you're there.

Intrepid Fox was quite alright, so to say. old-school metal types and semi-goths. All way above their Thirties. Decoration was a bit silly though. The stuff you find in supermarkets right before Halloween.

The Electric Ballroom was just the Horror: Neon-PVC-outfits and Platform Boots. Lucky as we were, we even got our money back from the bouncers after complaining.

I've been three times in London already this year and might have to come back for a fourth time. I could need some nightly entertainment advise too.

Ghostie boots? Are they like pixie-boots?

@ Scott
You from Ipswich by any chance? With a couple of spare tickets for the gig on Ebay!?!??!

What did you have in mind to do in London? 48 hour p*ss up or something more cultural (for want of a better word)?

Millenium Eye? Easy way of taking in a lot of sights without doing much walking.
Camden Market as mentioned above always good to kill a few hours, but you'll need a lot of wedge with you. Good for drinking as well, place is chocka with boozers.
Drop some acid and do the whole loop on the Circle Line?
The Imax cinema?

Any train outta Euston heading north.... other than that:

Camden : Vinyl exchange -> Resurection records -> Camden Market then jump the train to Oxford Circus for :

Berwick Street : Sister Ray, Vinyl exchange and loads more record shops.

Is Kensington market still there???
