:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: recomending a bloke who is spending the weekend in one of the largest cities in the world to devote an entire day to westfields shopping centre! f**k That

Go to camden, go to oxford st, go see the queen, go to the london eye, st pauls, leics square, soho, chinatown, covent garden, kew gardens, zoo, river cruise, parliment, the parks, science museum, national history museum, harrods in kensington, battersy powerstation, imperial war museum (really fecking cool)..... i could go on




If you lived here you would understand  :wink:

I avoid all those places you listed like the plague!!

Yer, but he is a tourist so wants some things to see and do. I have spent every other weekend for the past 2 years in london and after a brief stint of edinburgh, will be doing the same for the next year. Based on this and many long weekends of exploration I would not recommend Westfield. Fish

yeah thats what i just looked up :/ in an ideal world i wouldnt want to spend over £150 for 2 nights there, cheaper the better really. obviously without staying in a skip. but id rather have more money for doing things than on the hotel really. there are a few premier inns on certain dates for like £60 odd pound which is fine, just need to find a good date.

worth looking at BandBs or they going to be more ? ill have a quick look anyway, ya never know
