Recommendations, Solicited and Issued

If anyone is reading these missives and would like to see something specific in London, please let me know by posting a comment herein or by sending me an email at patrickjthomson (at) gmail (dot) com. I've been in London on enough occasions that I, at this point, might not know just what people with less or no familiarity would find interesting.

And here's a tip for you while I'm at it... Those pictures contained in my various posts that I actually took (read: that's most of them) are of a rather high quality and can he greatly enhanced by clicking on them. That might seem self-explanatory to many of you, but I wanted to point it out so that all of you could fully enjoy the scenery.

Finally (and, perhaps, most selfishly), each and every one of you should try to make your way to London (preferably while I'm here, but you should do it anyway). I thoroughly enjoy playing tour guide, it's a comparable (albeit much more comfortable) flight from Boston/New York as would be a flight to the West Coast, and, contrary to popular and inexplicably continued belief, it is not prohibitively expensive. If you can be flexible in your plans (and, with enough forethought, most of you can be) a hotel/airfare combination can be downright cheap at Expedia.

London is a pulsing and thriving city that drips with history, culture, and entertainment. What's more, it's the most innocent "international" experience you'll experience and, no matter what the locals say to the contrary, you all already know the language. I hope to see you soon - you'll love it.
