1 week in London..what`s worth seeing?!

[archer]

take a boat down the Thames - I quite like the trip down from Embankment to Greenwich, or vice versa. There's ferry stops all over, it's a nice way to see some of the sights.

I might just do that, tnx
the Nationall Gallery sounds nice, also Plastic People is a must, FWD would be epic.

[archer]

u should reach dubkulture

a vinyl store sounds cool, to touth and feel a DMZ release

Old Vic Tunnels (mad industrial space under waterloo station) or the Arcola in Dalston are worth a look.

Tate Modern during the school summer holidays always has kids running around cause there parents took them there cause there tight and need to kill time before they go and watch We Will Rock You or some shit. Also It's hard to appreciate art when their dad who'd obviously rather be at home watching MoTD keeps going on about how shit he thinks everything is and that it's not real art.

Go to a smaller gallery like Stolen Space on Brick Lane. Don't buy any thing to eat in Covent Garden.

Edit: Stolen Space is also right next to the Old Truman Brewery.

There's a lot of contemporary art stuff on Brick Lane at one end, nearer Shoreditch. Just don't stay too long or you'll turn into Nathan Barley. The other end has a large Indian population and is a great place to eat.

thanks oli - finally something good - because honestly Old Vic Tunnels and arcola - i checked it out on the web - sounds a posh or something. just not real. i'm not looking for the mainstream.
every big city is supposed to have a good underground scene. music or any other art -wise.

so any other ideas? also musicwise. warehouseparties? some cellar-in-the-city-club that doesn't start at 7 and ends at 12. rather all nicht + after hour. any outdoor parties around london. can be a jurney worth. even if its a 2 hour jurney? can be techno too.

c'mon.

The Saatchi gallery is really good at the moment. Went last week & its free. Definately right about not goin to the TATE this time of year to many kiddies!

[clifford_-]

make sure you go and eat some pie and mash.

[archer]

the part with "free" sounds like music to my ears
