Tomorrow I am off to London Town to see my brother in his natural uni habitat for the very first time!! I'm very very excited, so excited in fact I just poked myself in the eye with a makeup sponge. Ouch.
As well as doing my requisite research at the BFI I have a list of things I want to do when in our capital, to which I have gone only a handful of times. Harry, take note.
Do at least one tourist-y thing. Whether that is taking a photo of Big Ben, standing amongst the pigeons of Trafalgar Square (having my picture taken), taking a picture from the London Eye, having my picture taken with one of those Beef Tomato Fellas. Obviously taking pictures features heavily in this one, I will accept almost anything apart from Buckingham Palace. Yawn.
Do one cultured thing. This could be an art gallery, a museum. Or may the the-at-er darling? I would love to see Les Miserables again but I doubt it is a) on with available tickets and b) affordable.
Do one consumerist thing. I want to buy a furry leopard print jacket from Camden Market!! I'm very specific on this so it may not materialise. Even so I want to do a little bit of shopping, if only to take advantage of a fashion student's expertise. The above picture is actually Alexander McQueen, if I can afford one of those then great. How much does McQueen normally go for Harry?
London Sushi. I have a strange idea that sushi in London will be better than any other sushi in England. I would like to put this to the test, even if we can only afford a couple of plates.
Posh Shopping. I reckon we should get ourselves dressed up and go into one posh shop where they have personal shoppers and glasses of champagne. If not, I will settle for a wander down London's famous shopping high street, whatever that may be. New Bond Street? I don't know.
There's the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in Trafalga Sqaure and the Houses of Parliment are within walking distance if you go along the Embankment. x
