    I'll be coming to London for a week May 11th. Will be doing a lot of the touristy stuff but any recommendations on what else to do. Touristy meaning museums, galleries and fish and chips.

    If you have time, take a boat tour to Greenwich. There is the prime meridian at the Observatory and the Cutty Sark near the river.

    I'd rather be phishing!

      Take a walk on the South Bank from Westminster Bridge to Borough Market and have lunch there, especially the grilled raclette sandwiches. Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square, the usual places. Use the tube, I think you can get a daily or weekly travel card. Buses are Ok but slow and black cabs are crazy expensive though they know London every which way. Book a show in one of the theatres in the west end - plenty of places to get half price tickets. Go for afternoon tea at a good hotel or even the Ritz. Science and Natural History Museums are a must. Enjoy!

        Beyond the standard touristy things your are not going to have time with a week! London is full of interesting shit and if you do get bored with museums rent a car outside the M25 and go for a drive.

          The observatory has (or had two years ago) a very good exhibition on time and the attempts to measure time at sea (required for calculating longitude). It's well worth a visit!

          Ad astra - both ways!
