Avoid the so-called pizza.  Watery tomato sauce, thin crust, no flavor.
Movies are around 4 pounds, expensive.  For the same price, you can see a play
in the evening.
If you wish to gamble in London, you have to register with the casino 48 hrs
before you place your first bet.
Do not be afraid to rent a car and drive on the wrong side.  You get used to
it fast.
The Hard Rock Cafe is an interesting place to go, and the menu is a very
nice souvenier (sp?).
We spent a week for our honeymoon in London, and it went very fast. It took
me 2 days to start to recover from the jet lag.
If you are thinking of buying china, do it in London.  As I recall, the prices
were 1/2 of those in NY discount places.
Harodds is a sight to see in the evening when they light it up.
I believe we stayed at a place called the Kensington Inn, in Russell square.
This is in the NE part of town, and the room rate may be a bit less than in
the center.  But it is very convenient to get around using the tubes.  That
is also the easiest way to get from Heathrow airport to the city.
