Go to Camden and just walk and see the town& the people. If you like art, go to Tate, Tate Modern, National Gallery...It depends really what are you interested in. Or yeah just go shopping I love London, been there 2 times.
Hi......I just spent the whole of today at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park (Marble Arch end)London. Every Sunday up to a thousand people gather to hear speakers preaching & being heckled over Politics Religion & Sex. I got into a heated argument myself & was a bit jostled.(I'm not used to being pushed backwards repeatedly by a screaming idiot). I was surprised at the large number of American tourists....many vociferously defending President Bush & America from a mosly Muslim audience onslaught.No good guys or bad guys:Everyone's good & everyone's bad!. It's street-fighting democracy-British style:.....you shout at your enemy & threaten to use your fists; but in all the chaos & melee- I didn't see a single incident get out of hand. I also recommend a visit to:The British Museum. & a trip to the second hand shops scattered all around Notting Hill Gate.
As you are 19 years old, you can't have a drink here at home, but you can there. So you definately have to go out and have a pint. Or whatever suits your fancy. Also, yeah, the British Museum is great (And Free. They ask for a donation though, which I think is kinda funny.) Many museums in London are. Victoria Albert and the Natural History Museums are also good. The Tower and the double decker bus tours are probably cool, but ridiculously expensive. (about 18 pounds, I think.) So we didn't go. Do you like shows, you might enjoy a show. And yeah Hyde Park is cool, never heard of those speakers thingys, but that sounds cool. I just like to go for a wander in London, it's a hell of a lot different than FTL. Have fun bro.
