36 Hours in London - NY Times Article

Thank you, EP. We'll be in London in February, and this article helps fuel the excitement.

I've eaten at E. Pellici and recommend it highly!

These articles are like best hamburger lists, each to their own.

If you're a first timer, I don't think this list would satisfy you since it has none of the usual suspects. But perhaps one or two of these things must interest you. Beware the full English, it could kill most people. FWIW, on Virgin Atlantic you will be offered this before landing so time it carefully, you will likely need a loo quite quickly once grounded.

That, my friend, is not a Full English.

So You’d not recommend walking along the Thames, Richmond Park, Sir John Sloane's House. Greenwich,
Spitalfields, Westminister Abbey, Bletchley Park, Tower of London, Kyoto Gardens, theatre, afternoon tea at Fortum and Mason, Mudchute Farm, the rooftop garden at 120 Fench Street, a pub lunch, Maltby Market, The Postal Museum, the Horniman Museum, Crystal Park Dinosaurs, or Little Venice etc., etc, etc.

@Claudia, we are going to London in the fall for 10 nights. Your contributions on this forum are valued and I am going back through old threads to research. I have been to London twice, long ago and very brief. My DH has never been.

FWIW, Maria's cafe does an excellent full English breakfast.
I am done. The end.

Claudia..dplaunderville was referring to recommendations in the NY Times article.

Nothing wrong with a full English--occassionally.

I have spent well over a total ofone year full of nights in London in the past few years and most of the recommendations in the NY Times article would not be high up on my list of suggestions. It reads more like a hipster's guide to London.

@Frank II

Did not read the article.

If I want a full English I’ll head to the River Cafe across from Putney Bridge Station. Old school.

Then follow the Thames Path back to Hammersmith. Been known to mudlark if the tide is out.
