Going to London and Paris soon. What should I do or try? What should I see? What shit that people say I should see should I actually avoid? What can I do to avoid smug Europeans and blend in?

What are some foods I should try? And what are the best museums to go to?

Shit is fucking boring as hell. I've been there three times on business, got several days each time for sight seeing and leisure, etc. If you're not into dancing/clubs/raves, there's really nothing else that they excel at.

Avoid London. It's a fucking shit hole.
>What should I see?
Heathrow, Gatwick, or Luton Airport and leave.
>What shit that people say I should see should I actually avoid?
Everything.
>What can I do to avoid smug Europeans?
There are no smug Europeans in London so you won't have to worry about that. Also don't go there, it's crap.

This anon speaks truth

Also, if you're trying to blend in, you will fail harder than even if you don't try. Blending in is for when you plan to live out your life somewhere, not for stupid tourists

Well it's a little late for that, I already have my tickets and shit.

I'm pretty interested in art museums and shit. Are any of them worth my time?

There is a cool tank museum there, but it may not be your thing. Just relax and enjoy the hospitality of the natives, and put away a few pints.

London has fuck loads of museums, just pick up some leaflets at the airport or tourist info centre for what you're into, also it's crap.

I went to London a 4 months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't listen to these anons.
Also, go to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

British Museum has some amazing stuff, really. National Gallery was disappointing because I don't like paintings too much, but if that's your thing, definitely go there.

Stonehenge is roped off pretty bad, you might want to avoid it. I recommend checking out The Eye of London (aka The Millennium Wheel)

Paris is in third place? How do you reckon snotty Paris as being 3rd? Tokyo rightly belongs in third place, where the heck did Paris come from?

If I made the list, it would run:
1) New York
2) London
3) Tokyo
4) Paris
5) Los Angeles
6) Mumbai
7) Jerusalem
8) Geneva
9) Rome
10) Mecca
11) everyone else

11) Beijing
12) Tehran
13) Everyone else

(note: I based the list on where I thought the media and much of the political going-ons in the world seemed to be occurring.)

14 ) Brussels

It's already capital of the EU, and the EU is obviously the most important place in the world.

No Moscow or Toronto? Geneva? Mecca? Fail list is fail.

Just because there's political stuff happening doesn't mean its in a important region. Jerusalem at number 7 ? Yes, people like to kill eachother around there but that doesn't mean it's one of the most important cities in the world.

I was recently in London (although I recommend Birmingham, and the northern areas more), and I had a blast. Victoria and Albert museum is great. Eat at hole in the wall restaurants. Believe it or not those little burger places that the indians own are actually really awesome. Go to a pub or two, get a few pints of guiness or london pride. Check out the Camden Markets (sorta like the Harajuku of London).

Also, find a West Cornwall Pasty shop and get a cornish pasty. damn tasty.

Also, get an Oyster card for the tube!! You wont regret it. You get discounted rates. You can buy it from vending machines there, or at certain news stands.
