[London] Attractions
It's half-term for me at the moment.
Tomorrow is my only free day though, as I have stuff on the rest of the week.
I was thinking about going to see some sort of London attraction tomorrow.
Free stuff would be good.
I'm thinking of the Tate Gallery at the moment, and the Natural History Museum. I haven't ever been to the Tate, and haven't been the the NHM since I was 12 or so.
Apparently the NHM has some sort of fashion show on at the moment - does anyone know if this is true?
Alternatively, anyone else got any good suggestions for me?

Re: [London] Attractions
the other option is that you spend the day in hamleys, which is a good way of wasting a lot of time

oh darling .... it's hard to know where to begin ...
the tate? yes darling. go to the tate.... (quintillius varus ...)
I believe the nhm has a photography thing on at the moment.
there is no shortage of free things to do. The nat port. the nat gal. the tate modern. the tate britain. the british museum
in fact
go to the british museum and i'll even give you coffee/booze after (though i'm busy in the evening) given that it's at the end of my street.

Re: [London] Attractions
Science Museum for me.
Closely followed by several hours in the Trocadero. Oh such simple pleasures

Re: [London] Attractions
there's actually nothing to do in the trocadero though. it's an average cinema and some slot machines.

Seriously.
