Things to do & see in London

horniman museum

+1 awesome place, and great views of London

art publications?

there's several outlets along old compton and brewer streets for that sort of thing

perhaps if they are reeeeally new they dont know about Charing Cross road?

may be fun for them to explore shops in Soho too of course.

great little museum here

Im hopefully going to run (as I have yet to build up a bike, I plan to run everywhere) up to Highgate cemetery next week and want to see the tank in Bermondsey?

Thanks

there's a tank here?

PS WWTDD is gash

and

Will is a nonce

Go for a ride / run around the Victoria and Albert docs, best in the dark. Head to the east end of Albert doc, stand on the bridge and watch the planes land at City airport, flights stop at 9 or 10 pm I think.

You'll be all enthusiastic for 1 maybe 2 days, then you'll revert to WWTDD whatever that is.

The Tower of London.
Went there the other day for the first time in years and had a great day out.
Just stroll around the City, following the Old Roman parts you can find in a decent guide book is well worth it also

Hahaha,

We're doing the Horniman tomorrow. Mostly to see the over stuffed walrus, but the jellyfish are quite hypnotic.

Just spent the day at the V&A, there's about half a lifetime's worth of stuff to see there.

why don't you come and watch me sell you a new bike, it's quite exciting.

I like doing stuff - just random whateverness.
Its nice when people let you know something worth seeing is on and vice versa.
I UTFS and didn't come up with any threads so thought I'd start one where people can post some reviews/recommendations to stuff they've been to - gigs, cinema, galleries, theatre, festivals, whatever.

Last night I went to Circa at the Barbican.
9-14th March, £10-26.

It was bloody brilliant. I didn't realise they were an aussie group until I got there (that's the kind of research I do). Loads of tumbling/actobatics, some sensual bits (think man being walk on/climbed by lady in killer red heals), some mime and a bit of humor all set off by arty lighting and a funky sound track. A bit like cirque du soleil but far less polished. You could tell they didn't quite pull off some of the moves, but that just made it more real and edge of your seat impressive.

Highly recommeded.

There is this thread (not eactly the same)

Saw this on a different forum which looks quiet good

On Friday 23rd April at this year’s East End Film Festival, we’re proud to premiere a new documentary film about the London Docks in the uniquely atmospheric church setting of the Hawksmoor Church of St Anne’s at Limehouse. ‘The Rime of the Modern Mariner’. directed by journalist Mark Donne and narrated by musician Carl Barat, focuses on what happened to the culture, community and folklore of the London Docks - for hundreds of years the watery capital of a maritime nation and the largest port on earth until its closure in the late 1960’s left an entire way of life sucked into a vacuum. The film’s unfurling narrative reveals the decaying architecture, music and native language of the port that remains etched into the masonry and bloodstream of this unique quarter of London.
The film’s astounding score samples bell-ringing from East London dockside churches and field recordings that include a creaking hull, hammering cargos and engine room rhythms from a container ship voyage. All these sounds will serve to supplement the live music score as performed by composer Anthony Rossomondo accompanied by an ensemble including Rose Elinor Dougal and very special guests.
