London Fun
a plea for help from the London contingent:
soon, it is my friend's birthday, who is currently at uni in london. I can't make her official birthday do, so I promised to go up for a day (a friday, if you're interested). I want to treat he, partly for her birthday and partly because she is one of my bestest friends EVAH. But money is an issue - are there any fun and cheap places to have a daytrip in london? I was thinking somewhere tourtisy, possibly, as she's unlikely to have done that stuff yet, having only live there a few weeks.
Many thanks!
And yes, I di plan to take her on one of those annoying open top red buses :)
go to primrose hill
and look at the sky line
and drink alcohol
a lot of the museums are free
the science museum was it was fun the last time i went there about.. um.. 10 years ago.
natural history museum = DINOSAURS!!!
also, there are boatrides down the thames from westminster all the way to greenwich, they're really nice. it doesn't cost much and you get a discount if you have some sort of london travelcard, although it iss weather-dependent obviously..
Ideas!
Boat trip
Museums (all the major ones are free)
Camden/Portobello/Brick Lane market
London Zoo (bit pricey, but might be cheaper for students)
london zoo is ace-o
i went this summer... I think its 10 quid with an NUS which is a bit pricey... but id still say it was probably worth it. :)
it has penguins and llamas.
of COURSE it's worth it.
i liked the skunk best :)
Tate Modern
I think I saw in the paper today that they've got a big super fast slide in the big hall. It's free, so just go there for the slide and then go to the pub
yes.
but the slide.
^good point
I don't know for sure
So I'm going to presume that it does. I mean why WOULDN'T it end up at the pub?
what slide?
dis one

"Holler, 44, has constructed slides before, including one at the Prada headquarters in Milan connecting boss Miuccia Prada's office and the car park."
wantone.

have buffet fun
I very very very gorgeous vegan thai resturant is right by soho square, all you can eat for £6! Crispy seaweed, mock duck oh my it's amazing. I even take my meat eating friends there and they love it too.
then oyu can make your friends back home
Mad with jealously. You went to London for buffet fun. Perfect.
oooh
name?
marilyn, you?
helen :p
name of the buffetplace!
muffdive thai
sorry
I've been eating loads of tomato sauce out of the bottle.
oh yea the name...
Er I don't know...something Thai. If you go to Soho Square where there's an endangered park , it's right by there. Normally the workers are outside the place inviting/pulling people in anyway...
The buffetplace is called Helen?
That's odd.
the best thing about the buffet is the workers
They haven't got the normal shifty eye, so you can scramble however much buffet into your handbag (bring a large one), then have a muffdive thai buffet midnight feast!
