Alone in London - suggestions?
I will be alone for one night in London on July 7. I have been there
many times, but never alone. Anyone have any suggestions on something interesting to do in the evening - night? Theater is a no brainer, but its not really my cup of tea. Thanks in advance . . . . Richard |

Alone in London - suggestions?
Following up to refrots
I will be alone for one night in London on July 7. I have been there many times, but never alone. Anyone have any suggestions on something interesting to do in the evening - night? Theater is a no brainer, but its not really my cup of tea. I would just walk around with an unobtrusive camera (no flash) and take some photos by resting the camera on walls and so on. But that's me. I think I might also just tackle it head on and do what I would do normally, find a decent restaurant, but take a magazine and have a nice meal. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walking-food-photos, Wasdale, Thames, London etc "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site and same for Spain at "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Theater is a no brainer, but its not really my cup of tea. Well, any time of the year, London is busy, but it will be thronging with crowds then. You won't feel alone! If people watching is your thing, you could do worse than just meandering around Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and so on. Lots of street performers then too. If you could be more specific about what is your "cup of tea" then you might get more specific suggestions. Quite a few museums and galleries have late openings- though July 7 is a Saturday, maybe not then. (Tate Modern is open until 10pm on Saturdays though.) The Proms are on then too- which are always worth going to- even if you aren't a particular fan of classical music- the prom experience is fun for a lot of people.

are on then too- which are always worth going to- even if you aren't a particular fan of classical music- the prom experience is fun for a lot of people. Proms actually start 16/7/04, so you'll miss them, sadly. But there are plenty of other solo options. Machaut |

Theater is a no brainer, but its not really my cup of tea. i've no idea if there is any that particular evening, but greyhound racing is a traditional-east-end kinda thing and often held at night...there's a big track at walthamstow, iirc, which may well have a website. |

How about one of the many London Walks? Schedules in the
Time Out or (I think) on the web. On Tue, 30 Dec 2003 wrote: I will be alone for one night in London on July 7. I have been there many times, but never alone.
