ooh, 2 hours to myself in London - ideas?

[joanofarchitrave]

A friend has had to cancel meeting up this Friday and I'm going to STEAL two hours just for me! I don't really fancy live music, and the best option looks like Friday Lates at the National Gallery, but if anyone has any bright thoughts about free or cheap things to do in the evening, I'd be really grateful to hear about them...

I was just about to suggest the National Gallery or the National Portrait Gallery.

Either that, if it's a fine evening, walk along the Embankment / SBC and soak up the atmosphere. There's usually something going on in the Clore ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall that's free (and you can wander in and out) and there are the book and print stalls to browse outside the BFI, and of course you get to take in the view of the river all lit up in the evening. Beautiful.
