Things around London that I liked, not in any real order:
1. Any pub for a pint of Guinness.
2. The British Design Museum (and the restaurant there)
3. Portobella Road Market (I think it is on Saturday), indoor/outdoor
flea market, www.portobelloroad.co.uk
4. Museum of British Road Transport, in Coventry (never have been there)
5. The Imperial War Museum
6. The London Eye, no line this time of year
7. Duxford Air Base (outside of London, about a 1 hour train ride).
Great place but it might be cold in the winter
8. See at least one play. Visit the 1/2 ticket booth on Leicester
Square (can't miss it).
9. The Ivy for dinner
10. Take a London Cab. They have the best in the world.
11. Hyde park is great but wrong time of the year.
12. Skip the Tate Modern unless you really like modern art.
13. Visit the big department stores (for the wife)
14. Pret a Manager is a good place for a quick lunch.
15. Bring a heavy coat and gloves, it can be cold and damp.
16. Any pub for a pint of Guinness.
That is it for now. Never saw an older Morris when I visited.
