Thats pretty cool. It is probably the closest I will ever get to Stonehenge.
Amazing what can be done with technology nowadays !!!
Ohhhh… I’m dizzy.
How do I get out?

Friends going to London for 4 days. Is this worth a trip to see or what other things would you suggest in and around London?
Have they been before? Any interests partic? Ages?
Stonehenge is quite a way from London. I’ve never been there myself, so can’t really comment.
I’m not much of a ‘city person’ myself, so don’t find London particularly appealing. I suppose it depends what your frends find interesting. London has more toursity things than any other city in england, so they should find something to suit their tastes.
Last time I was there with a day to kill, I wandered around Hyde Park for a while, found a pub for lunch, then spent the rest of the afternoon in the Natural History and Science museums, which were great (if you like that sort of thing).
Oh and is cost an issue, ie freebies prefered?
30′s…no kids…Paying for something isn’t an issue (ie tours etc) but nothing overly extravagant. (diamond shopping at Harrods)
OKedoke.
Assuming never done London before, I suggest one of the numerous open bus guided tours that last about 1 hour, from Trafalgar Sqaure/ Hyde park corner and lots of intermediary points. Quick and cheerful way of orientating to the place, get on and off as want in the day to visit anything that attracts.
The big tourist sights Buck Palace, House of Commons, tower of London will all be busy but the guided tours will give all the gen you ever want. Need to book the first 2 in advance online, TOL just turn up and join the waves of tourists.
Shopping everybloody where, Kensington High Street, Bond Street and around Covent Garden are some of the biggies. Oxford Street is tat, IMHO, but Regent Street worth a look.
Cinemas and theatres +++, most best to try and book in advance. And for food, just keep nose active… Covent Garden area nice at night.
Museums up the ying yang, perhaps not for this age and no kids to distract.
Out of London, many tours go off to Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, Oxford etc. Much sitting around and not so long at each destination, pricey and a bit dull.
Oxford easily reached by train from Paddington Railway, nice trip. For Windsor Castle take suburban train again from Paddington to Windsor Central every 1 hour or so. View en route crap but real inside of SE UK will be seen. Castle is right by the train station in Windsor, explore on own, town shops fair, can walk over river bridge to Eton where the world abused college is. The chapel will be open but pupils away from now to mid-September.
Wimbledon Tennis museum, other sports as wanted, see national press for details.
If you want anything more specific, let me know.
COI Based on living and working in the damn place from 1973 to 1986, regular visits from then until 2004, not been since.
Awesome…copied and emailed. Thanks.
Duncan,
Thanks.. I got spinning a tad too fast and had a flashback but other than that…..
I’m not a drinking man, but I think if they can post a picture of a bar it will resemble a drunk experience! Please let me know if there’s such a picture. Another good shot would be a strip club, a chocolate factory, the oval office (during Clinton’s term though)…
Accompanied by Pete Burns playing “You spin me right round, baby right round….” on the old pink oboe?
