My students really enjoyed it last summer, especially when they got to play with the dictionaries.<br /><br />If you have any interest in Dickens, the Charles Dickens Museum is quite nice. I think they just did a remodel, so it should be nice and new. I like the Leighton House Museum, too. The house is gorgeous and it's full of Leighton's Victorian artwork. <br /><br />The Foundling Museum is really interesting (and close to the Dickens Museum) so I definitely recommend a visit there. And the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is much more entertaining than you'd think buses, subway cars and carriages would be.<br /><br />I always enjoy Portobello Market (near Notting Hill); it has a little bit of everything, plus good food stalls. If you're a foodie, though, definitely go to Borough Market (near London Bridge). Spitalfields Market (near Liverpool Street) is also really fun; lots of eclectic jewelry and clothing there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-88162894487278825052011-12-06T20:32:44.091-08:002011-12-06T20:32:44.091-08:00Camden Market is funky open Sat & Sunday -- cl...Camden Market is funky open Sat & Sunday -- clothes, antiques, stuff, ranging from the tacky to trendy to fab.

Maybe you *should* go up to Hampstead, get a crepe, and walk across the Heath.<br /><br />Btw, there's a really nice gastro pub on the west side of the BL called the Somers Town Coffee House on Chalton St. Since you'll be in the neighborhood, I recommend getting a meal there. http://www.thesomerstowncoffeehouse.co.ukDr. Viragohttp://quodshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-77589595876000813202011-12-05T05:13:32.110-08:002011-12-05T05:13:32.110-08:00Couldn't remember if you'd been to the Soa...Couldn't remember if you'd been to the Soane. I hear they do evening candlelight tours, too, which sounds cool, but perhaps you want some things on your list you haven't done.<br /><br />Have you been to the Wallace Collection? If you're going to be at St. Paul's and Southwark, what about stopping at the Tate Modern? It's probably not the best time of year for this, but I still think everyone should see London from the top of Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath.<br /><br />You've done so much, it's hard to remember what you've done and what you haven't!Dr. Viragohttp://quodshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
