For example, what better justification could there be for a jaunt round Fitzrovia than following in the footsteps of the literary greats (George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, George Bernard Shaw, among others) who frequented these pubs?

Walk under the Thames
At Greenwich, via the (admittedly slightly whiffy) foot tunnel. Your best bet is a guided tour, organised by the Brunel Engine House Museum.

71
Get squeamish at the Hunterian Museum
Plenty of morbid exhibits in here. How about the brain of mathematician Charles Babbage? Or Churchill’s dentures?

I'm a Londoner who's lived abroad for 18 years, but come every summer with by boys. This list has given me some great ideas. Thanks.
No doubt in my mind that London Town is the best place on the earth...so much to do and see. Fantastic list, and how nice to see the obvious things are not on it! Im def planning on hitting the fish market at dome obsurd hour soon....
just moved out of london after four years and im missin it! oh how i love london......
Suprised that the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes is not featured. Everyone should have at least one night at this place
Green Lanes kebab from Manor House to Turnpike Lane? Why not to the North Circular, just south of Palmers Green?
I DON' T KNOW WHAT TO DO IN LONDON?
Cool list, and to ignorant person who left neg comment about gay bowling, maybe its for gay people who love bowling and want to meet other gay people and socialise....duhhhh! I think its a cool idea.
