Seen as though I only live like 20 mins from it I don't go as much as I should. Not done the pleasure beach since I was a kid which is mad considering how much I love theme parks and stuff I just don't get the chance nor the money! A lot of Blackpool is a dive though!

Covent garden isn't far from Piccadilly. I always walk there.

You can get a local map when you get there.
You'll also need a tube map.

She seemed like a lovely woman but I was pretty much a toddler when she died. So I'm not overly bothered about visiting there. Don't will and Kate live there though?

Woah. Yeah that's prob a bit too high budget. Having an afternoon tea on the River Thames though. Thought it would be a bit nicer than the open top bus

At the rate I'm saving for the trip. Most likely yeah :joker:

But £120 for an afternoon tea sounds ridiculous

Not at night. Could be dangerous.
But Leicester Square is brilliant for an evening walk.

If you go to a park then morning or afternoon is OK.

harrods and Selfridges are on a par price wise ... and Selfridges is Debenhams (or was) it gets very difficult to follow who owns what after a while.

Harrods is ok, it's an experience that you wont get anywhere else. Apart from that there are some seriously expensive properties, the science museum and some parkland in Kensington
