  • Does anyone have any recommendations on places or restaurants to visit or things to do in Bristol and London for a Dubliner? I'm going to be spending a few days in each with my girlfriend who's never been, thought here might be a good place for suggestions from some locals.

    I think so far we've just got the natural history museum, the tower bridge walkway and maybe the London eye as maybes in London.

    Yes, those are three things to avoid, unless you love crowds of foreign tourists. Hard to say which of the less obvious sites to recommend without having an idea of your interests.

  • I let off what could be the nastiest fart I've ever done inside one of the pods on the London eye, so bear in mind that you have to go on that thing with people like me.

  • Depends what you're into but Natural History Museum, Science Museum and V&A are all basically next to each other.

    The cable car is cheaper than the eye but don't go in rush hour (it's always quiet but it goes faster, apparently) and you might not have anything else to do in the area unless you fancy attaching it to a sightsee of the Olympic park or something. And you can't really see central London from it. You can get to/from the North Greenwich end by Clipper boat though which can be a fun and cheap way to see the city.

  • Bristol

    Walk across the suspension bridge or go up Cabot tower for decent views, loads of craft beer tap rooms if that's your thing, I think a couple in the centre now or more working/ industrial ones all around St Phillips or Hyde&Co. for a swanky cocktail, G.bros in Easton for great pizza. It's a while since I was there so I'm fairly out of the loop though.
