Places to visit in London

View from flat in London

I’m back in London through mid-December.  I’m here for work, and there’s a lot of that to do while I’m here, but I hope to be able to see some other sights too.  On my list of places to go to are:

  • British Museum – I’ve been here a few times, but there’s so much to see, it’s worth going back.
  • Imperial War Museum, London - I’ve been here once before as well,  but didn’t see everything.  The below ground floor with the history of World War I and II is well worth the visit.
  • Churchill War Rooms
  • HMS Belfast
  • National Maritime Museum – I never got a chance to go here the last time I was in London, and hear that it’s pretty good.  Given my sailing background, I’m sure I’ll find something interesting here.
I’d also like to see some other sights outside of London, perhaps Oxford or back to Richmond, which had a lot of great places to eat and look around. We’ll see how much time I end up with on weekends and such.
If you have any good suggestions for day trips, evening places to visit, or the like, let me know in the comments!

Off to London

I'm leaving today to travel to London for work and my new job – I'm really excited about both….

I haven't been to London in at least 5 years, and this time around I was able to schedule things over a weekend so I have one day of my own time to look around.  Every time I've been before I have had work committments and never had the opportunity to do much outside of that.

I've had suggestions from many people as to where to go, what to see, and what to eat.  I haven't made up my mind about any of them – I just hope the weather cooperates – looks sort of like Seattle weather right now…
