I used to work in Bermondsey - it was an impressively hostile place in the 80's. Full of Oswald Mosely supporters and Skrewdriver fans. You had to be careful about which pub you went into...

We'll have a shopping day and the family want to do a sight-seeing day, the palace, the bridge, etc.
But other than that I'm not sure what else to do, we're staying in a nice hotel and I can also seeing us just having a hotel day where my missus and girls will do some beauty stuff and I'll sit with a cravat and smoking jacket in the lounge.
I don't think she'll be up for hookers and drugs and I don't fancy going anywhere where we'll be stabbed.
That is good, I'd also recommend Book of Mormon if religion doesn't offend you or familyRockburner wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:01 pm if you like shows and comedic slapstick (you might not) - then I would very much recommend "The Play that Goes Wrong", if it's still showing.

And then it got gentrified - I preferred it the way it was!
That^^^ If you fancy taking in a show, make it that one. Proper good fun and you can't believe how atmospheric it is. I must have jumped 6ft high several times!gremlin wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:09 pm Second vote for any of the '...Goes Wrong' productions. I've got tickets for the 'Magic Show the Goes Wrong' next month.
Dunno if The Woman in Black is still running, but that's a fecking awesome show. Shite yer pants scary.
Sounds a bit pedestrian, it's all stuff you could do in any British town, he should be doing stuff that you can only do in London, and I don't think he wants a Cockney knees up with you in your Pearly King outfitgremlin wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:36 pm Dependent upon weather, start at the London Eye and head east along the southbank. You get to see the river and buildings up close, including the Globe theatre. Mooching along takes you past some reasonable riverside pubs, so stop for a couple, but keep walking past Tower Bridge and have lunch/dinner at Smiths of Wapping. ( https://smithsrestaurants.com/smiths-wapping/ )Really good fish restaurant, away from the City crowds but stunning views of Tower Bridge to the O2. The Town of Ramsgate pub, ( https://townoframsgate.pub/ )a few yards further along, is a nice old traditional boozer.
I'd recommend the tube back, as you'll be stuffed and a bit pie-eyed by now.
Do you have any idea how long it took me to sew the fucking buttons on that outfit? And that's not including all the hours perfecting my Cock-er-nay bowl, knees out, thumbs in the waistcoat.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:42 pmSounds a bit pedestrian, it's all stuff you could do in any British town, he should be doing stuff that you can only do in London, and I don't think he wants a Cockney knees up with you in your Pearly King outfitgremlin wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:36 pm Dependent upon weather, start at the London Eye and head east along the southbank.

I can think of at least one shop in there he'd likeCount Steer wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:39 pm For shopping, if you haven't been, you may like Burlington Arcade. There are a few gaps as in most retail areas at the moment but there's still enough to tempt I think. Got all our Christmas shopping there once but they had rather more 'useful' type clothing places etc then it appears. Then kick back in the café/restaurant at the top of Waterstones in the old Simpsons of Piccadilly building. Views are quite good. Foods reasonable for that sort of thing.
Do the stroll I suggested and it takes you past Borough.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:47 pmI can think of at least one shop in there he'd likeCount Steer wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:39 pm For shopping, if you haven't been, you may like Burlington Arcade.

Have to say, food wise I like Borough Market a lot more than I expected. Probably a bit out of the way though, I was only there 'cause I was staying in the weirdly cheap Travelodge near by.
