I know there's plenty of you :P

I'm off to London for a week in the summer.I've been like 7 times so I know how to get around alright but I'll be all by myself so I need to keep busy! I was wondering if there's anything great to do,see,go to etc. besides these lot.Most of them are because of the good shops :P And a few touristy places which I have left to do(I usually hate acting like a tourist in London)

Camden
Kensington
Kingston
Oxford Street
Regent Street
Hyde Park
Tower Bridge
Notting Hill
Covent Garden
Piccadilly Circus
Hamleys
Thames in Boat
Musical(if it's cheap)

No Not Bluewater.


This is Westfield,
to miss that you are crazy
as it is the biggest shopping mall in Europe.


You do not have a place like this
unless you live in America.

Lidl or Aldi stay as a Island of their very own
as they cover so many products.
