Р. и я летим завтра (вторник вечером) в Лондон и будем там 12 дней.

Если у кого-то есть идеи встретиться/познакомиться/пересечься, они всячески приветствуются. Пишите сюда в комменты или на почту avorobey@pobox.com.

Это будет мой первый визит в Лондон (и Англию вообще), так что советы насчет того, как с пользой провести эти 12 дней, тоже приветствуются :)

* Walk to Tate modern from Parliament: incredible views of London City. The museum is the absolute must.

*Go to opera: much better than any musical and can be quite cheap if you buy tickets on the show day in the theater box office. There are discounts if you have international students card. I went to opera for 12 pounds, my seat was in stools. Musical would cost you 30-40 pounds at least.

*The mentioned above wine place on Embankment is absolutely great.

*Near British museum you have Sir John Soane's Museum: it's also free and lovely. it would take ~1hour

*If you like live music, check out daily newspapers for latest gigs. Some places would have very cheap standing tickets if you arrive right before the show.

*Regrading underground: you can get Oyster card. You charge the card with some money. You'd be charged the min(N of trips*cost of each tip, daily/weekly/trips outside of London center pass). If your card would run out of money in the middle of the trip, when exiting a station you'd be asked to charge some more money. I found it very convenient: when you get weekly pass it's only for a week, even if you don't take underground at all some of the days and you might need pay some extra if you go outside of the london center.

*Coffee: In my opinion Pret'a'menage (??) is the best "fast" coffee place (much better than Starbucks) Very good sandwiches also. Ideal for quick tourist lunch.

*Food: eating out is quite expensive. But each supermarket has tons of sandwiches and prepared food you can buy and have great picnic meals, especially in Kew gardens.

*Currently in Kew gardens there are glass sculptures of Pachuly
(Italian artist who had extraordinary exhibition few years ago in "Mivzar David"). Very nice.
