based, but also make sure you see the real london, my second list during daylight hours of course.
Borough Market is pretty neat.
>Sending people to Mile End
Villainous.
>>Sending people to Mile End
Lad, we have google in America
seems like you know enough. Check out westfield shepards bush, compare it to burger malls.
>westfield shepards bush
Nah I don't care about malls and shopping, I can do that here. What about the deep literary history of London
>deep literary history
honestly consult google, btw london is very different from the rest of the UK.
>london is very different from the rest of the UK.
What do you mean?
My impression is that London is urban, relatively modern, and large nonwhite populations with shithole and incredibly rich parts vs. postindustrial shitholes everywhere else
He forgot to add Tower Hamlets
def go there OP
Do the Karl Marx pub crawl and smash streetlights like Marx used to do. Then visit Highgate and leave Marx a pint.
Pic related is actually very true, like a week before publication, Marx had only written "a frightful hobgoblin" with a picture of a Hobgoblin because he spent the rest of the time doing a pub crawl and trying to break the world record for smoking the most cigars in a row.
>postindustrial shitholes everywhere else
is that wrong? Isn't the north of your country basically our midwest?
Go visit Hatfield house and all the pubs around Hertfordshire.
Hertfordshire >>> London for a traditional English experience and is only like an half hour drive from London.
You can visit Charles Dickens house (museum)
You can visit Benjamin Franklins house near the Monument too.
London is a big place, and there's a lot to see and do. I live near it and have lived in it for 5 years and barely scratched the surface.
>>>british museam
worth visiting
>>>victoria and albert museum
possibly worth visiting
>>>south kensington
basically museum land, see above - I recommend the natural history, british and sack off the rest.
>>>hyde park
meme. speakers corner if you're there on a sunday. argue with muzzies.
>>>covent garden
meme tier. but you will visit I'm sure.
Best views are from Primrose hill, Hampstead heath, or south from Telegraph Hill -- literally by the obsevatory where the GMT line is. I recommend that.
Use uber and tfl.gov.uk + oyster card to get around. Enjoy it. Memes aside it's nice. If you want to do some real London shit go out east for pie + mash and liquor + jellied eels if you're game
There are some Nice bits in the North, and it's as if the country is just the North and London.
*and it's not as if
Sorry, it's late.
>Telegraph Hill
Ignore this, I'm getting confused. Late and lots of alcohol. They are close, but you want Greenwich park, the observatory.
It has great views of London, and is where time was invented.
Its like going from belgium to germany, similar but a different country. London is really an international city state. Also the poor parts of london are still relatively rich with the houses costing half a million.
Its hard to explain, venture out of london for a bit and youll see what I mean.
>London is really an international city state. Also the poor parts of london are still relatively rich with the houses costing half a million.
I understand, this is the same as New York.
the British museum is easily the best museum i have ever been to and ive been to a lot.
The Victoria and Albert one is mostly art, it was ok
the natural history museum was pretty boring for me but it's meant for kids i think.
You're gonig to see parliament building/big ben no matter what but fuck me they look so much better in person than in photos.
Most of the South East in Londoncentric.
It's only when you get out to the West country, East anglia or the Midlands you feel a cultural shift.
Demographics and acknowledging people on the street aside.
>the natural history museum was pretty boring for me but it's meant for kids i think.
Ha, maybe thats the case and I just have a massive case of nostalgia. But it used to feel quite epic in an empire way. All the taxodery and stuff.
why would you ever go to london voluntarily?
London is the greatest city on Earth.
Because it's a great city?
spotted the londoners
the best tourist stuff to visit in the world and history doesn't go away because theres brown people in the shit parts
Opposite, actually, I live in the far North.
>Spotted two people who actually live in the city in question, and are therefore best qualified to answer the question, as opposed to some cunt on the internet who browses Jow Forums
Yes, fucking shocker.
But I too live in London
Ah fuck.
People always say the north is shit, but for me east anglia and wales are the 2 biggest shitholes.
It always depends where you are.
There's loads of gentrified market towns in the North, East Anglia and even Wales, just as much as there's loads of hellish shitholes.
There are shit holes everywhere.
But the section of our glorious isle most devoid of culture has to be East Anglia for me, too, or the chavvy parts of the SE.
Wales and the North both have serious charm.
t. London/Surrey lad
surrey is a rich shithole devoid of culture too.
t. lived in weybridge
Y-yeah??
Well at least we have MONEY you fucking chav cunt.
But seriously, it's a beautiful county even if slightly soulless.
Weybridge is defacto London for the record.
