what is your perfect day in London?

[DimpledThighs]

I am going to London for the whole day - just me and DP for my birthday.

Tell me about your perfect metropolis day!

OMG NO CHILDREN

it's perfect already

Greenwich is lovely (esp if sunny) - market, park, Observatory . Plus you get to ride on the DLR (well, I love it - like a toy train). Or you could do shopping (Piccadilly, Covent Garden), museums (South Ken), South Bank ...

the Wolsley for breakfast (and lunch and dinner but that's just me). An open top bus tour. Walk along the river to the Tate and over the bouncy bridge. Drinks in Covent Garden and/or a theatre. lovely!

yum - keep them coming!

Well, we used to live in London and my favourite days always started with breakfast at a local coffee shop reading the paper, followed by a stroll on Hampstead Heath, maybe a trip to the Tate in the afternoon, followed by dinner looking out over the Thames.

Recently visited London with 2 year old DS and the best day (in good weather) had to be our trip to zoo - pricey, but worth it as DS LOVED every minute.

Oooh, what about breakfast at Simpsons (the Strand)? You wouldn't want to do anything too energetic afterwards tho.

And if you can book a table at the restaurant at the Tate (top floor) for lunch the views are fantastic (the food's pretty good too)

What day of the week are you coming on?

Simpsons review here

ultimate food venue with no kids . Haven't been in ages [envy} but it's gorgeous and you get interesting people eating there.

live music gig...nightclub and taxi to hotel and your imagination...

enjoy your birthday dimply &dp whatever you do

brilliant thanks!

more more more

we go on Monday!

shopping at topshop on oxford street, then walk to covent garden for more shopping, then walk along the south bank of the river towards the tower. tons of things to catch your eye there. depends on what you want to do really!

outheastra - you have given me the best idea - me and dp should split up for a few hours and do our own thing!!!!

Go to Camden Town. Lunch at Convent Garden.

We had ours: woke up in 5star hotel suite, for which we'd only paid £117 on Laterooms , strolled to Borough Market and along to Tate Modern, walked a lot, had Champagne at lunchtime in dark sexy wine bar, went back to hotel for an afternoon of sex/sleep and then got up and went to see a film in the evening, followed by supper in Brick Lane.

Where are you staying?

And another time we stayed in a great hotel and spent ages wandering around the National Portrait Gallery, saw an exhibition. The British Museum Great Hall and reading room are wonderful too imo.

going first thing and back late late night so not staying over - but hey honsy - am not complaining!
