10 things to do in London when you escaped from the office for 3 days

1/ Rent a scooter near the Waterloo train station (don't mention you're French otherwise they'll laugh at you and you will be forced to recall for Austerlitz memory)
2/ Drive straight down to Westminster to see the House of Parliament, the Big Wheel, the Big Ben, the Big Mamma etc. (if a beautiful Russian tourist asks you "Is this the Thames river", pretend not to know and start a friendly chat)
3/ Go to the National Gallery (because your favorite painters are Canaletto and Turner, and basically, no museum has both of them except the National Gallery)
4/ Go to Leicester square and buy tickets for tonight musicals (don't pay by credit card or they will charge you extra 2£)
5/ Enjoy the Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theater (try the cookie - caramel butter ice cream during the entract: it is fantastic)
6/ At Madame Tussaud's, try to search for your own wax statue (if you find it, call me, I'll ask you for an autograph)
7/ At Tate Britain, try to search something else than a Turner painting (if you find one, don't call me, I'm not interested)
8/ Take the ferry from Tate Britain to Tate Modern (try to avoid sitting at the same place as a French group of teenager tourists. Why? You ask me why?)
9/ Enjoy "STOMP" at the Vaudeville (Book for the F raw, they will put you at C row with the best view ever)
10/ Stop at a cybercafé and show off to your friends by sending them emails and pictures.

  • but it remains THE question: to be alone or not to be....

  • The answer, my friend, is elsewhere...

  • let's ignore any kind of criticism and just enjoy the London spirit. By the way, anything else to mention about the intellectual Russian tourist you met? :-)
