Their city is also one giant dive.

Haha, where did that random Morrisson's rules come from?? Hahaha.. ur sooo cute

I will post my fave places in daetail alter but for now, top of my head, I like Soho for hustle and busle walks from uni to Oxfordd Street shopping, Queensway for my fave Shwarma, St. Christopher's Place for eating out, Old Bond Street for random evening walks, Camden for shopping for quirky stuff, Waterloo Bridge to get onto the Thames and walk along for street performers and funny tourists, and so so much more!!

Yeah, that Adnan guy is really worrying me..

What about you??

Annie

[UmmUmayr]

Lol, went morrisons y'day they have niiice cakes, shame about their salad section, all the pasta is DROWNED in mayo :|


Hmmm, I haven't been many places I liked Bayswater (went to the nandos and then for shopping) Canary Wharf is nice. Kensington high street was okay. Ooooh this place near City University, Where the Cass Business School is, my friend took me to this place like a garden thing by some apartments where rich city folk live, that was sooo nice. (these places I went in 2005 though

Ilford Exchange/Ilford Lane can be alright sometimes, not all the time though. Best to go twice a year ... Ilford Lane apparently has a female only gym now :O and they have a dessert shop called afters and Islamic expressions. Havent seen the gym or afers but went into Islamic expressions, nice clean shop
Green Street NO :@ it used to be good years back but not anymore, its more for people who want to to wedding shopping

Hmm.... April. A light jacket should be fine. It depends on what you're used to.

If you're more comfortable with a hot climate, then bring one of those coats they use in Arctic exploration along with a thick scarf, thick gloves ski googles, and thermal socks and underwear.

But Londoners normally just wear shirts with a light jackets on top in April.

A burka should be fine.
