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

Southbank has some nice places to eat by the river.

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

But Ł120 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

Why August??????
