Hey! I'm new and I'm going to be traveling to the UK in July for one month. What are the top ten things I should do in London?

1) take pictures of Poilce Community Support officers in Liverpool Stret station

2) throw stuff at Mayor Boris

3) walk around London and take photos of anything you think is interesting. With all the history and mashing together of styles in London , there is always something interesting, if not world-famous, to see / take pics off

Thank you so much! Great ideas! Tons of help.

- Jon M, I'll be sure to throw stuff at Mayor Boris.... Sounds humorous.

- Dice, I'm definitely going to check in to the body armour.

- Andyrob, you are TOO helpful-- almost.

The thing about Primrose Hill is, the view is so nice.

Check out some proper British caffs (I wouldn't go so far as to suggest jellied eels; I'd never eat them myself despite being a born and bred Londoner). And some proper ale in a proper boozer, of course.

Throw more stuff at Boris. Set some of it on fire first.

Simon- Oh, dear. How horrible. A flaming, trashy Boris.

Thank you, Mondoagogo. I'll be sure to go to Primrose Hill. Proper ale would I consume, if I drank, but I don't for health reasons & genetics.

Transport is key.

1) Be sure to get an Oyster card at the earliest opportunity, otherwise you'll find public transport a tad expensive.

2) If you're not walking (which is best of all) go mostly by bus rather than tube, preferably the top deck, for the views.

3) Avoid bendy buses, because they're hellish (horrible to have to agree with Boris on something).

4) But do take a few tube trips, it's an essential part of London...

5) With respect to London curries it is best to start with a soothing lamb vindaloo before working up to the prawn phall.

avoid london altogether and learn for yourself, first hand, what the united kingdom is REALLY all about.

The Roebuck on Richmond Hill has great views back over London and although I can only vouch for the beer the food looks pretty good.
