The British Museum is a king of museums - and there's plenty of weapons etc in it for the whole D&D inspiration. The Rosetta Stone, the reading room (where Karl Marx wrote the communist Manifesto), the marbles from the Parthenon in Athens. You won't regret spending time in there - allot a minimum of 4-5 hours.Gaming stores There is Forbidden Planet on Shaftsbury Avenue, which is a good all round geek/comic/collectables store. Te Orc's Nest is a nice, small RPG/minatures store, but their books are all shrink wrapped - so you can't browse there.General Sight seeing: If you have the funs and the time you should go u the London Eye - at that time of year it'll be great. Hmm take a walk through Hype Park on a sunny day and people watch. The galleries and museums are almost all free - the National GAllery, the Tate Modern and the National Portrait Museum (between Trafalgar square and Leicester Sq) are all very good. Oh and Camden Town is GREAT for more alternative fashions and a more edgier feel to a market area.Safety tips: The East end isn't as bad as everyone says it is but you should probably avoid it just to be safe. If you're female then never get into a minicab (unlicenced taxi) alone. Also sounds silly but at that time of year always take some water with you on the tube, it can get up to 55 celcius down in the lower tubes (northern, piccadilly lines etc) and there isn't a week or day that goes by during the summer where someone doesn't faint on the tube. Also invest in a London A to Z of some kind. Have fun man. London is a great city and you should enjoy it. Just remember you'll never be able to see it all in 4-5 days. Just like New York, Tokyo or Paris. They're too big and there's soo much stuff to see. Just firgure out 2 things you want to do, places you want to see each day as a max. Have fun!</blockquote>
