What I should not fail to do/see in LONDON

Cheers

I'm going to London next week and I need advice on hip places and secondhand shops. I'm trying to make the most out of my trip with the least amount of money, so anything you say is welcome.

I was also considering taking the bus to Wales or Scotland...like a daytrip. How much can that cost? I've never been in Britain before so I'm feeling kind of nervous. How careful/suspicious does a girl need to be there? I'm used to trusting people and talking to strangers.

I'm going to stay with a friend who is working there. I'll probably eat grocery food, because of my extremely low budget. Any tips on inexpensive& good places to eat? I love indian food and I've heard that there's some good veggie stuff in London..

Britain must be a weird place. I've heard that psychedelic mushrooms are legal. I could though just pick one equivalent from my back yard and eat it anytime if I wanted to, maybe it just freaks me out.

 

ok, you cannot miss a visit to Camden Town. It's one of my favourite places in London. You'll find so many shops, so many things to see...i go quite often, i was there last saturday actually hehehe...

I think mushrooms are no longer legal. Though i saw a guy seeling them in candem at one of the stalls outside the shops on the high street, but maybe they were crap, who knows?

btw where are you from barefoot lass?

 

Somebody mentioned Camden Town before, I'll go and have a look. I live in Finland.

 

I agree you MUST go to Camden, MUST


A bus to scotland for a day trip? ummmm...it takes 12 hours to get there...

 

theres a cafe in camden where for a pound you can get a pint of ANY freshly squeezed fruit you want...covent garden has some cool buskers and street people..you wont get to scotalnd or wales as a day trip.

safteywise comon sense! dont go alone at night!!

 

you must come to wales, its a great place u can stay with us.

 

Thank you 2w1fgm for the invitation, but I already returned to Finland. I had a great time in London and I saw many many things.

 

what about Brixton? me and some friends are planning a short trip to london sometimes in April/May and would love to catch a good dub party (Jah Shaka and the likes) and from what i know Brixton is the place to be. any advice?

 

Ohh good thread! Im going to London in April, just for a weekend though. Its a present for my 18th birthday, and im going there together with my best friend (who will be almost 17 by that time). Any suggestions for us, other than Camden (i already planned on going there )
