OT Things to do in London

Kew Bridge Steam Museum.

In Singapore a few years ago I asked Management if she wanted to go on a duck tour. She was a little startled and still looking for the ducks as the vehicle transferred from road to water...

I'll give you one you may not have thought of. The Museum of Childhood. Has a theme which changes, but basics which stay. Excellent cafe too.

Oh - is this a continuation of the last problem they had?

no, the river part of the duck tours went down the drain after work started on the new Thames sewer

You drive there? That your first mistake.

Best attraction: Kings Cross Station departure platform...

Are the ducks still doing pleasure trips on the Thames? Converted WWII amphibious vehicles?

Amazingly yes, take your pick between drowning or burning

Actually seems they only run on roads now, rather than the river ...

No - someone said earlier, Thames Water have taken over the slipway for the sewer project

Plus a lot to get out of the shithole.

Public gallery at the House of Commons (or Lords) when Parliament is sitting is free, no advance booking necessary. Stay as as long, or as little, as you want. Gets you into Westminster Hall as well.

Also close to Kew Gardens (for the GF), so gives you a choice if the weather is poor.

Well worth going there by river.

Didn't you get slapped around the face last time you said that to her ?

Is that the one in Bethnel green, I went there on a school trip, it was one of the m ost boring Museums I have ever been to. I guess at the time writing up on the history of childrens toys didn't really interest me. But it did have a lot of really boring s*it to look at, and an afternoon off school.

I really can't think of anything more boring to do in London. ;-)

I can. Taking *you* out for a pint.

I used the M40/A43 last time. Beat my work college home, who left at the same time, by nearly an hour.

I was just trying to avoid the big six.

I have already done them loads of times. I did a stint working in London and took the apprentices to them after work plus when on a few trips to Wembley where I have taken the gf around them before the match.

Needless to say she wants to see a show!

Well do the big ones when we take her son for his 16th Birthday in August.
