Ok, next Wednesday we're off down to London for 3 nights for our anniversary.
We seem to want to do quite a few things and i'm not sure the best way to fit them in/group them together based on travel time. Here's where i'm hoping you lot come in!
Here's the current plan.
We get into Euston around half 2 i think and our hotel is in Russell Square which seems to be around Fitzrovia.
I've booked us to go and see Wicked on the Wednesday night which is at the Apollo Theatre so thats the Wednesday night booked up. I've also made a bit of a balls up and ended up going from one high view place (the Shard), to another (the London eye), which are both quite close together location wise but spread out time wise which doesn't give much space either side.
Our meal plans for the Friday are in Kings Cross, we'd probably prefer to go there from the Hotel after a shower etc though rather than from where-ever else we've been in the day.
I'd planned on the London Zoo on the Saturday prior to coming home but that can be scrapped if need be.
Things we'd like to do
Christmas Markets at Hyde Park - Figure thats a decent place to go after checking in for some food prior to the show. There's also a wine shop nearby (Hedonism) which i'd like to get to if possible.
Borough Market - This is a bit of a poor planning thing really as we have afternoon tea at the Shard so don't really want to eat before/after, yet doesn't make much sense going back to the area any other time. Thoughts?
Stroll along the Southbank - Can do this between the Shard/London Eye, will it be ok during the day? Is it best going after the London eye when it's more evening time?
Stroll around Camden/Brick lane at the tat shops. There's also Rough Trade records on Brick Lane i'd like to go to.
We're not overly museum-y people. I did find a Champagne bar overlooking St Pauls though which sounds nice
I did quite fancy the London Dungeons but there's a similar place in Blackpool and i imagine they're similar experiences.
Any recommendations or things we have to see would be good. We've both been to London before with work/visiting friends but not for a few days as tourists.
Other than that i'm pretty open. The only caveat is my wife has an illness which means she gets tired easily so really in a position to rush around everywhere from morning to night. If we miss stuff then so be it, there are other times.
