You've never been on a night out in Cardiff...

Pop down to Liverpool Street and visit a pub called "The White Horse". Make sure you have plenty of pound coins and your Fiancee is liberal

Or browns

If you want to go somewhere a bit different, try:

Columbia Road Flower Market Sunday (8am til 3pm) - shops, cafes, lots of people hanging out.
London Fields Broadway Market Saturday (9am til 5pm) - similar to above with plenty of park to hang out in nearby etc. You can walk along the canal tow path back towards Angel afterwards to get back to town if the weather is pleasant enough.

Both are the other side of town to your hotel though so I'd only make the trip if the weather holds.

I've heard some good things about the new Viking exhibition at the British Museum. You're also right next to the Natural History/Science museums and the V&A in Kensington.

If you want something alternative, how about something like Hint Hunt?

Graffiti tour.

I did it not too long ago. Walk about the famous garffiti spots for an hour or two followed by a workshop session for a few hours where you get to stencil and spray in their own private bit.

London Trocadero?

It's a waste land now, i shed a tear for the glory days of going to the cinema then spending the whole day in the arcades

 

[jesusismyairbag]

not look like a ponce.

HMS Belfast?

 

[boxman2000]

I'd highly recommend the Comedy Store in Leicester Square, particularly Wednesday evenings as that's their improvisation night was brilliant the few times we have been.

Nice and close to China Town too for a pre/post-show meal.

That is sad to hear not been for a long while.

I live in London. My sister in law came over from saffrica for xmas and my missus booked some tickets for a Jack the Ripper walking tour. I moped and moaned, squealed and squirmed, but there was no way I was getting out of it.

Now I can't recommend it enough. Incredibly interesting and well worth the £14 odd for a ticket.

Then you do what the rest of London does - get drunk.

 

[Redz]

Go dogging

I'm originally from there and know exactly what you mean. This was broad daylight in the City so less expected.

 

[ttaskmaster]

See if the Torture Garden is still hosting evenings. They're a little "unusual"... great folks too!

 

[TheBDog]

Has anybody tried ICEBAR on Heddon St(Piccadilly Circus is closest tube station)?

Definitely on my list of things to try.
