London for a few days - what's a must see?

[Tigger]

Heading over to London on Tuesday with our course to look at some photography exhibitions & art galleries

We also have our free time too so it goes without saying, the camera is tagging along

So what do you all recommend is a must see in the space of 3 days?


Cheers

Underground........... Its a must see lol London Dungeons is awesome

Wax works is good if youve not been before.

London eye is a bore. But you may like it if your into taking pictures and views etc.

houses of parliament are impressive at night time with all the lights on etc.

Not sure if the winter wonderland is still open, thats a must if it is. See stuff like this

For photos usual tourist spots... Eye/London, Westminster, tower Bridges. Covent garden,

what days are you there could arrange a little photo meet up one evening, if you are free and the weather allows for it.

Cheers all

Try to get booked in on the shard, looks great for evening pics of the city.
The eye and along the Thames are good too. As is the underground.

There's loads I want to go back to. Weather was a bit crap last time I was there

Bavarian Beerhouse at Old St or Katzenjammers near Borough market for beers.

Ice bar thing. Like a night club made from ice. Worth a look.

M&M world is worth a pop in. Walk round Saville row, A&F is also down there too.

Im down there on a regular basis now and theres plenty to do.

I was in London before in 2005 - the week before 7/7 in the Hilton at Kings Cross and traveled to East Finchley that whole week (Mc Donald's HQ)

Back then I wasn't into the photography as much, armed only with a Fuji Finepix S5000 bridge

Depends entirely upon what you're interested in surely? I'd go check out Smithfields/Columbia Road, but I enjoy shooting street so it would differ for other people!

Going to try and get to see a few things I didn't get the chance to last time, and some others;

The Gherkin building
Tower Bridge
St Pauls
London eye
Some underground shots
Maybe the Shard too?

Busy week also the pub will be hit quite frequently I would imagine :cheers:

Just spent the weekend their myself and stayed at The May Fair Hotel, bloody lovely. Bar has an awesome vibe on the evenings too.

Went to Mahiki in Mayfair for some fairly cool cocktails too, expensive though!

Sack off the shard, go http://www.vertigo42.co.uk/.

Home this evening, got some good shots scattered all over the place - too much to pack into 3 1/2 days!

The Ansel Adams exhibition was awesome yesterday!

Being all excited about some of the images I brought home, was met with a little disappointment when I imported.

My sensor has come back like the inside of a fecking Dyson :dapprove:
