Don't forget Trafalgar Square to see Mr. P up on the Plinth.

Come to Bristol to see Banksy.... (sorry I'll stop now)

[sin`pl]

my father works in bristol.
if mr p(ure?) invite me, i'll pay him a visit

[Lorrie]

Yeah, I'd definitely skip the London tourist attractions and hit the Banksy exhibit in Bristol. Most of them are crap anyway. London is best when you hit an area and just hang out - see the high street, hit a pub, do some shopping and then move on. Or hit the Tate. Or just wander.

I stumbled upon a wicked Nara exhibition one day when I was just walking around - there were only 3 people in the whole gallery.

It's a fantastic city, but who really cares about a stupid clock or a big ferris wheel?

If I'm in town on the day, I'll see you for a beer Sin.
No promises though as I've only been in London about 15 times since November.
Tate modern is well worth a visit though.

Make it a weekend Sin and I'll come up and see you too..

[sin`pl]

sounds good. it's better to drink with someone else (my hong kong girl dont like the taste of beer, hehe).
i'll definetly visit a tate modern then.

the plane should land around 22:45.. do you have many buses from the airport (stansted) to city center?

[streak]

Stansted is quite a way outside Greater London. You can get a shuttle bus or a train.

[sin`pl]

oh, i didn't see your previous reply, streak.

i should be in london for a few days, from 12th to 16th august, so it counts as a weekend.

i don't know if you like younger company, but i'm just 20.
but i feel adult, so..
