Top Things To Do In London England - listings 71to 80
71 (35) Oxford Street
Shopping, high prices and Christmas lights.
72 (16) Football
Main grounds are Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) in West London, Whitehart
Lane (Tottenham or Spurs) and Wembley (New National Stadium) again in
West London but there are plenty of smaller grounds where you can see
a match.
My advice is go and see a game as it is the number 1, 2 & 3 sport
in England (Just a shame we aren't much good at it :( ). Do a little research,
dress in the home teams colours and enjoy the atmosphere.
73 (21) Soho
Naughty Soho with its seedy sex shops and prostitutes is abit of myth
these days. A throw back to different era. Sure there are a few sex shops
and establishments left but the real action is with the cafes, bars and
restaurants. Soho has gone upmarket. Good buzz. A london playground reflective
of its diverse nature.
74 (29) HMS Belfast
No walk in the park this is one for the war/history buffs
If you have ever wanted to be in a confined space that is a WW2 warship
then hop to it.
'Parked' the other side of Tower Bridge from the Tower of London HMS Belfast
is there to be crammed in if you so desire.
75 (51) The London Markets Alf a pound of tuppeny rice at Alf price
‘Getcha [incomprehensible noise] at alf-price’ Off down the
market guv.
76 (55) Row on the Serpentine
This is more me, row row row your boat gently down the turps. Don’t
approach this without a smile on your face. Boats are available from March
to October (not a winter pursuit - brrrrrrrr).
77 Cambridge
You probably want to see one of the University towns. Oxford or Cambridge?
Well, as you have probably guessed I went to neither. But I know someone
who did! Cambridge is beautiful.
78 (58) Get a full head of steam trains
Get all stemmed up over the commencement of manmade global warming with
snoot and hot water. Steam trains have a certain romance and bring out
the boy or girl in the man or woman but not necessarily in that order.
79 (69) Catch a gig at Ronnie Scott’s
Ronnie Scott’s is a legionary place which you should frequent once.
See how a trumpet should be blown.
80 (70) Brixton
A vibrant cultural suburb of the big smoke. Check out the markets, the
clubs, cafes, restaurants and see a side of London many visitors miss.
Brixton is also blessed with a tube station.
