Is it your first trip there? I go at least once a year for work so I'm kinda familiar with certain parts of the city (Hyde Park, Knightsbridge area). I'd recommend getting some chocolate over there - it is so much better than what we have here.

 

[ÆX]

second time.

any chocolate or it there a good store?

 

[SkaredShtles]

Dude, bring me back a couple nice pints of IPA............

-S.S.-

 

[narlus]

yeah, some cask-conditioned ales would be nice.

i dug london, but it's outrageously expensive.

100.00 GB = 192.90 USD

yeah, it is bad right now.

OH OH you'll find these 2 kinds of chocolate bars made by cadbary (sp?) you can't get them outside of the Uk one is the "double decker" the other I can't remember have to ask a friend but it was even hard to find in London. Really though check out the chocolate bars there from cadbury so many different kinds.

 

[BillT]

Get a box of Cadbury Roses (assorted individual chocolates), but if you go into some of the bigger department stores - Harrod's, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols - they'll have a bunch of different brands and I remember the brand called Green & Blacks being particularly good - all organic and some great flavors.

If you are into to looking at nice cars, the Knightsbridge area south of Hyde Park is great for seeing all sorts of exotics and there is a cool Aston Martin dealer near there as well.

Pick up some Goodridge brakelines while you are over there...even with the crappy exchange rate, I believe they are cheaper there than here.

yeah, our hotel was in mayfair, about 5 blocks from that aston martin dealership. i saw so many bentleys it was like seeing 7 series BMWs here. saw a maybach too.

even discounting the exchange rate, london is very expensive in relation to yr average US city.

Yeah, could you pick me up about 100 E tabs while your there.....I hear it's fairly cheap in the UK. neaky:

London is one of the most expensive cities in the world and that area of town is one of the most expensive areas so the people that live there have tons of cash.

My co-workers that are over in London love coming to the states because they can pick up lots of things (clothes mostly) at cheap prices relative to what they would cost over there.

Oh - and don't forget the Magnum Doubles.........

Might need some dry ice for those, though
