Anyone in London?

Hey everyone. Me and my wife are planning a quick 4 day trip up to London (since it is only a little over an hour flight from here) this fall. We do not have dates yet, it will be when we both have time.

Anyone who lives up there in London who would like to have a little meet up. Maybe we can go check out some of your really cool museums up there.

If anyone is interested just say so. As soon as I have dates I will let you know.

Chris, go to the RAF museum in Hendon. It's free and easy to reach by the underground and of course, they have a fantastic collection.

Hendon is one of the main reasons I want to go back to London.

I am in London right now.


London, ONTARIO, CANADA!

Hope you have a good trip! If you need a translator to understand the natives perhaps PlanD or Lucky can help....

Hi Chris,

I´ll be there next weekend but unfortunately no time for Hendon due to FL in Duxford. But I´m sure there will be enough stuff for my eyes in Duxford!

Don't forget to freshen up on the Queens English, drink your tea in tiny cups with pinky in 90 degrees, plenty of "ol chap", "jolly good show", "I say", "carry on" and other expressions....and people drive on the.....ermmm...eeehhh....hmmm...other side here. Don't forget to read up on cricket either!

Have a great trip mate!

We will certainly have to go and have a pint together!

It looks like it will be in October when I finally make it back up there.
