Travel: Places to See in London, UK

If you are thinking or have decided to move to London and interested in what I have to say, do talk to me.

If you are visiting, I recommend buying a guidebook and the latest Time Out. You can find there main places of interest. Here are a few recommendations of my favorite things to do in London:

1) Reading Room in British Museum
2) The Globe, a Shakespearian theatre. It is amazing. If you are not big fan of Shakespeare, read his work in advance. The theatre and plays are impressive.
3) Tate Museum, especially Tate Modern is my favorite museum in London, but Tate Britain is very interesting too.
4) Have coffee in Cafe Nero on Old Campton Street in Soho. Coffee is crap, but it is the best people watching spot
5) Enjoy Indian and Thai cuisines as the rest of the food moght turn out crap
6) Go up to Hampstead. Enjoy the village and the heath. You can walk down through Belsize Park to Primrose Hill, it is a lovely walk of historical artistic and beatutiful part of London. If you are in Hampstead, right off the main street there is a craperee with the best crapes I ever had.

Also:

1) Visit Covent Garden Market
2) If you are into art scene, check out Royal Academy of Arts; they always have something fun on.
3) If the weather is nice, have a picnic in the park like most Londoners (Kensington Gardens is a great choice)
4) Recommend day trips to Bath, Oxford and Brighton, and 2-day trip to Edinburgh.
