Hey guys!

So-- I'm going to Fanfest for the first time, ever! Hurrah! And I'm also going to then bum over to London for a week to see the sights, play tourist, and drink warm beer. So-- what are the must-sees? And do any of you have hostel or hotel recommendations? I'll be backpacking, so I can wander off to other locales if there are strong recommendations.

At present, I know I need to explore the Tate Modern. Beyond that...?

If you have any interest in nature or history I strongly suggest wandering down to the Natural History and British Museums. Natural History is very nature/history of studying nature based, as you would expect. British museum is more science and human history focused. If you can only get to one, I would recommend the British. It's free!

SCIENCE MUSEUM

I had such good memories there from when dad used to take me, so a little biased here.

I take it if I want Darwin, I go visit the Natural History Museum?

Correct Also worth checking the Science museum, but NHM is your best bet

Visit Greenwich
Do it

[Makoto Priano]

Thanks for the recommendations so far! And good to know on all the various museums. So-- should I expect each to take a day? Or to be able to hit them all in a? Or...? I've got about a week to burn, so want to make sure that I'm not spending all my time in the museums, however grand.

Also, are there any particular neighborhoods that generally aren't good for a ramble about?

Also also, Halcy. Why Greenwich? :x

[Halcyon]

It's beautiful, it has the Cutty Sark, the observatory I think? and also a delicious open food market

[Nmaro Makari]

Oh and Camden, plenty of markets, amazing food, generally good for a day out

Head to Brick Lane for a curry. If you've read From Hell, look out for places you recognise...
