I'm going to London for a few days.

Yes, I'm going to London for 3 days @ the end of October, together with my GF, just for fun.

The originally plan was that she would plan the trip, but because she doesn't find the time for it, it's up to me -_-

So my question now to all the people here that live in London or visited it, what should i really visit? I'm also looking for a nice, not to expensive vegetarian bistro/restaurant. If somebody got tips, please let them know.

Also, what is the price of a starbucks coffee over there?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Though my GF is not into Linux and computer, if somebody would know the address of the Canonical office, let me know so I can accidentally pass by it. ;-p

Thanks for the link, I have a travel guide, the problem is that they are a little overkill and it's hard to get an idea what is really worth visiting.

Isn't Canonical based off the Isle of Man?

Visiting wise...hmmn tricky, depends what you are into, the science museum and the victoria and albert museum are right next to each other, so thats a good place to go, also trafalgar square, leicester square and of course buckingham palace are all good places to go look at. You'll probably get better advice if you say what bit of london you will be in, its a big old town...

On the veggie front, I really like this place:

which is nice and central, and not too expensive, it isn't cheap, but its not too frightening by london standards...and it is all veggie stuff, which is great.

I've also heard good things about this place, but I've never been myself:

Theres a little vegetarian chinese place in soho somewhere too that does an all you can eat buffet, can't remember where that is though, I'll let you know if it comes to me.

Hope you have a great time

I don't particularly like London. The science museum is good, and it's got great architecture - but it's far too busy for my liking. Stay away from Oxford Street if you don't like crowds - it's insanity!

Best thing to do in London - walk along the South Bank of the Thames. Start at the Westminster Bridge and finish at Tower Bridge.

Lovely views of the city and really really interesting things to see along the way.
