I can't really argue with your there, Fist.
Yeah, helping Xar's WGDs sounds like a good idea.
Hmm...finger hovering over the donate button again...

More seriously, this is the fifth time I go to London, so I don't have any pressure about visiting all the tourist traps. Though I always make a point of visiting the British Museum every time I go (and I hear they have the terra cotta soldiers exhibit in March, which I would really like to see). Other than that, I have free time on my hands

I never go to Chinatown for food. Next time head to Queensway (on central line) and you will be surrounded by much better ones!

but if there ARE Watchers in London who would like for us to meet, I wouldn't mind that 
It's definitely easier than meeting American Watchers, if nothing else I'm in London so if you would like a local tourguide for an afternoon/evening. (Although I think I am one of the lurkers Covjr is referring toXar wrote:I'll try to survive, thank you anyway

Given that I'm coming over the Easter holidays, it was a bit difficult to find accommodation (at least, reasonably priced accommodation) - so I ended up with a place in Kensington...Chrysalis wrote:I'm in London so if you would like a local tourguide for an afternoon/evening.

Kensington...nice choice! Also pretty close to my neck of the woods so to speak.

I quite enjoy London, all things considered, though I cannot claim I know it in its entirety. In my visits, I've mostly focused on central London, since there are lots of things to see there - and the last day traditionally requires a stroll down Regent Street and Oxford Street, possibly stopping by Hamley's to satisfy the child inside Central will keep you busy for days. Hamley's is always good for a couple of hours browsing. I'm happy to show you some local haunts or a few other areas if you would like? Gart may also happily come into London for drinks too. Depends on the things you like doing really.Xar wrote:Yes, four times already, the last four years ago...

Apart from the British Museum, I don't really have any definite plans at the moment, though I haven't taken an in-depth look at what London offers in that period. I'll probably know something more in short order - but I'd be glad to finally get to know a Watcher or two in person
