TOP10: London's Heartbeat

May 12th 2008 13:35
For each capital city that I have visted, I will be providing a must do checklist of things to try, see and do… Enjoy…

The London TOP10 Checklist

10) Ride the Tube. (Take the tube anywhere along the Piccadilly Line). Rated as one of the best train systems in the world.
9) See Piccadilly Circus. (London’s version on Times Square) Big advertising screens with an exciting atmosphere.
The Circus


8) Bangers and Mash with Old Speckle Hen. (From Anywhere) Cheap, but delicious
7) The Eye of London. (Expensive, but a must) See the sky scape and surroundings of London
6) Visit the Sherlock Holmes pub (From the Hound of the Baskerville) Very traditional. Try the Sherlock Holmes Beer.
5) Pose with the Lions at Trafalgar Square. (Those Lions scared me as a kid)
4) See the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum. (Unlocked the secrets of Ancient Egyptians for the modern world)
3) Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. (Very Cool)
2) Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. (The main sights of London the world over). Hear the bells ring for the abbey and set your watch to the Big Ben time.
1) Tower of London (Look for torture chambers and 500 year old graffiti scratchings) See the Crown Jewels!

I lived in London and never even heard of the Sherlock Holmes pub. Sounds like fun though..

Hi -- I've sent you an email already but sometimes they don't get through. Would you like a domain for this blog? If so send an email to charles -at- orble.com (change the -at- into a @) and he will be able to set one up for you.

You may also need to add the email address admin -at- orblemail.com to your address book in order to receive Orble admin emails in the future.

Thanks,
