    Hey, shopping, nice. I've heard Soho is better for the nightlife, though, correct me if I'm wrong.

    depends on what you're buying but yeah soho has a brilliant nightlife there the only problems are trying to find a pub where there aren't sooo many business people that they're spilling out of the pub and into the street.

    Yeah, I kinda figured. I'm not much into drinkin' here, but I figure if I'm gonna immerse myself into Britain, I might as well go all out. xD

    You should go to some of London nightclubs. Fabric is good for a start.

    Depending on what I'm doing, I'll come see you. I've been London and if I book 4 days ahead, Its quite cheap. Depends.

    If you finalise your travel plans, I'll come see you. Hell, I'll even do the wiki for it

    Well, it's a given that I'm going. One month from today, actually!

    I'm still tryin' to figure out where exactly I'm gonna stay in the city, since Lawdy everything is expensive. Right now, I'm lookin' to find accomodations in Kensington or Earl's Court.

    You do know that's the expensive area of the city? Only cheapish thing I can think of is the Holiday Inn at the Hanger Lane Gyratory.

    Actually, I found a bed and breakfast for about 45 pounds a night. I can live with that.

    London's nice. In the summer you should come visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach. My home is Kent, way down in the bottom right corner of the UK. But I'm at University in Preston at the moment, so maybe I'll see you of you northerners floating around lol. Saying that, anyone going to watch Jimmy Carr at Manchester Apollo tonight? Apologise for off-topic =/

    H'okay, I know it's been a few days, but I've been busy with various things. Anyway, it's gettin' down to about three weeks now and here's what I'm thinkin'.

    I found a bed and breakfast little place just off the west side of Kensington Gardens. It's decently priced (for London, anyway), I just have to send a deposit out on Monday to secure a room. I'll put up a link to it when it's not 2:30 AM.

    The reception to my going up to Manchester seemed a bit lukewarm to me, so unless you guys can really change my mind I think I'm pretty much gonna say forget it. I will, however, be traveling up to Derby to crash at Ruth's place for a night or two on December 1 (definitely) and 2 (maybe, depends on Ruth). Other than that, y'all can drag yourself to the City to meet me.

    One thing I wanted to ask, though... how should I dress so that I don't stick out and also provide myself with optimal sexy? I'm probably gonna go get some new clothes sometime this week and I wanna look good, so help me out here.

    Just a heads up about what you should be wearing, it dosent matter, wear anything, London is the most cosmopolitan city in the world so theres a great variety of dress sense throughout the city.

    However, if your style is punk then I'd recommend not heading into some of the urban areas of London, London's urban culture somewhat picks on punks/skaters etc. Although I doubt you'll be heading into those areas so it should be ok.
