Hi, my cousin is coming to England and I wanted to take her into London for the day, but I'm not really sure what to do, so I'm looking for some inspiration from some of you guys and girls. I was thinking of a museum, which ones would you recommend for my cousin and I, keep in mind that she is 20 and I'm 18, so something interesting and fun. I was also considering Madame Tussauds, but I'm not entirely sure.

Another thing I thought would be cool is one of those activity type places, the ones with big climbing walls etc, anyone know of one in London? Any ideas on prices?

Any other suggestions would be good too.

Thanks.
 
You can't go wrong with the science museum - loads of interaction and its for all ages.

MOMI (Museum Of the Moving Image) is great if you both like films and the history behind the media. Again there is some level of interaction.

A general walk along the Embankment is nice especially in the hot weathe, whereupon you can then go onto the London Eye (altho you're best to book in advance to save the queues.)

I have lived in London for many years and yet have never been to madam tussauds - you will find it generally packed to the rafters.

The London Dungeon can also get very busy but is a laff.

No clue whatsoever about outdoor activity centres I'm afraid.

If you wanna go to the cinema there is a good one called "The Prince Charles Cinema" which is literally just off Leicester Square and is about half the price of the other cinemas in the area altho it tends to show films that have already been shown and not the latest releases. Its one to go to see classic films.

IF you are only going down for one day I would lean towards sticking to the following as they are in the same area:

Embankment walk, London Eye, London Aquarium, MOMI, London Dungeon.

That should fill the day quite nicely.
 
You can Marvel at the black bogey phenomenon after a few short minutes in our nation's capital.

Stare, enthralled as the local homeless population try and get money off you.

Gaze in wonder at the arrogance and pretentiousness of all around you.

The London Eye is over £20 each IIRC.

Theres lots to do in London, maybe not enough for people who are so active they spend all day on forums though... :p

The homless don't hang around near Zone 1, go to Zone 3 (Holloway) and you'll see a few.
 
Give her my number - I'll take it from there. ;)









There's lots to do, it's hard to suggest something as we don't know what you or your cousin likes. :) London eye, Hyde Park, Soho, covent garden, Leicester square, oxford street, picadilly circus, walk down the mall to buckingham palace, go up through green park towards pall mall then on to picadilly, Tower Bridge, London Dungeon maybe, museums, Madame Tussauds, walk along the river, go to a cool bar on the riverside, london bridge, there's absolutely shed loads of things to do.

Still if you don't want to do it and she's single and pretty...... ;)
