Regent Street
by socrates_07
With the tube we arrived at Oxford Circus and after we decided not to go Madame Tussauds I wanted to go to Piccadilly Circus. Its not so far but if you walk on Regent Street it will take a long time? Because its a detour? No, no... but all those shops. Although it was very crowded because of all those "x-mas shoppers" I went to many of those shops. And not only because I wanted to protect myself from the rain....
Theatres.
by benazer
The Mouse trap at StMartins theatre been running for 52 years now. I know someone who have seen it for 10 times.
It is not all that exciting and wonderfull play,usually parties goes just to say they seen the show.. Used to go many times to theaters once,lately they become more expensive and now we got DVD,videoes,many tv channels so one dont bother with theaters any longer sad to say..

Get to know all those alien cultures miling about and let them spoil you big time (if you're Slovenian, odds are that the most exotic item around will be yourself. If asked about your country, just say 'Beyond the Marble Arch'. That'll usually do.)
Get the justice
by Imbi
Old Bailey is multitude of famous criminals met a sticky end at this court of justice. Most famously, Reggie Kray was tried here and convicted of the murder of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie. The veiled bronze figure of justice looms overhead and members of the British public are selected randomly to conduct jury service within The Old Bailey. In addition, members of the public are permitted to sit in on trials.

Buy your own thing mate
by alycat
When going out to eat with Brits, be it close friends or just accomplices, you have to buy your own food. I came to realize this when I met a close friend for the first time and I thought I would be buying the meal for both of us or maybe she would buy for us, but strangely I was left sitting on the dining table in the fast food joint and she grabbed her meal and asked me very casually to go get my own meal, oh man….I felt so sheepish.
I mean back home in India, being a man, I would definitely be buying her a meal, never mind what kinda meeting it was or who she was, mainly a gentlemanly thing to do, but not here, not in UK.
