After a horrible xmas period with me spending 9 days in hospital things are now getting better. to celebrate me and my wife are going to have a 3 day break in london so we can see do and buy many nice things. I was hoping some people here could reccomend cool stuff to do. were both into comics, action figures etc movies entertainment , the more extreme the better just generally anything thats not mundane and shit. any suggestions?
emm, go to natural history museum to check out the fossils, british museum to see some mummys. then go to orbital comics and forbidden planets near shaftsbury avenue to check out some comics and figures. pop down to regent street/oxford circus, visit hamleys and clothes shops. then head back to odean at leicester square and watch avatar 3D.
As someone pointed out, for comics visit Orbital Comics Here's a handy map so you can find one of the finest comics shops I have ever been in: WC2H 7JA - Google Maps
When I went, we visited the Picadilly circus, went to a Shakespearan play, ate at a Renassaince style restaurant, and checked out the palace
Orbital is an excellent shop. Forbidden Planet is also very good, but can be pricy. I actually found that of all places Harrods had cheaper prices on some toys. The Science Museum is super, as is the Natural History Museum (the dinosaurs exhibit actually has a G1 grimlock in it as an example of dinosaur themed toys). The Tate Modern is worth a look, and the Design Museum is fascinating. Sealife is very cool as well.
sweet will defo check out the sealife centre. saw the g1 grimmy last time we went . awesome stuff. orbito, sounds great , ill be checking that out. i got a misb 16 special megatron from a comic book shop nextdoor to a movie shop in soho last time i went , is that orbitol?
Things to do in London: avoid playing 'smell my armpit' with some hulking great mentalist on the Tube who hasn't bathed for possibly the entirety of their existence. (Of course, this is next to impossible during the rush-hour crush - bloody glad I don't have to commute any more...)
London Zoo - bonus as it's in Camden (which can be fun!) Tate Modern Museums - all within moments of each other Science Museum Natural History Museum Victoria & Albert Museum I also really recommend The Diner, which there are a few locations of in London if you want to grab something to eat THE DINER | American Diner, Restaurant, Bar in Camden, Islington, Kensal Rise, Shoreditch and Soho the milkshakes are £4 but you get enough for 2 whole large glasses and they are delicious
You know, I lived in Camden for 4 years and never once visited the zoo. Unless you count the market, then yes I did visit the zoo. As for eats, I recommend: Belgo - The world's greatest Belgian restaurants So nice food there.
