The 'Handome Man' recently recommend the Apple store's Genius Bar as the Little Rock Chic's ipod was playing up. Housed upstairs in Apple's Regent Street store, it is definitley worth a visit if you book an appointment (very easy online * here* So if you're in the West End and could do with some help with your Mac or ipod, get yourself down there.
When you arrive, head to the Genius Bar, where you will see your name on the LCD screen. Please check in with a Mac Genius or another staff member. The session will take approximately 15 minutes, depending on the issue.
We had a short wait and the efficient friendly staff had her ipod up and running in under 5 minutes, and all free of charge.
I would recommend booking your appointment, if you come without one, you could, from what I hear, be in for a long wait.

Get lucky enough to see the Queen, if only a glance. While walking around Westminster Abby, happened on a courtyard where something was going on. As it turned out the Queen was inside and planning to leave any moment. We waited and sure enough, got a glimpse of the Queen of England!
Here's what piqued our interest originally, her car (with fancy crest and standard) and all the security.
St. James' Park
by yooperprof
The oldest of London parks, 93 acres of Englishness in gardening. St. James' dates back to the 16th century, when Henry VIII used the land here for a deer park. (It had been a swamp, and the grounds can still be quite marshy after a heavy rain. But the soil is good for flowers!)
Charles II opened the park to the public after the Restoration, and it had a major overhall during the reign of George IV under the supervision of the brilliant John Nash.
Some of the most romantic and picturesque views in England are here.

The cabbies are great-very friendly and eager to share information and stories. Let a cabbie give you a little mini tour. It will help you get the lay of the land. It never rained when we were there, but I had been told to bring a raincoat. Also, travel light. You will be doing alot of walking, and if you want to change accommodations, lots of luggage will not be fun to tote around. When going to the airport for your return flight, remember you need to be there two hours early, I believe, for an international flight. If you are late, you will be bumped and have to take a later flight.
