Plans for London

[tysolna]

You'd suppose that, given that I have been to London uncountable times, that I would know where that Swiss Cottage is. I think it's around Leicester Square somewhere, but I am not 100% sure. Never mind, Leicester Square we'll go to anyway, and I'll act as if I knew it'd be there if it is; if it isn't, I won't even mention it.
Itinerary includes: the Victoria & Albert Museum, with a quick look into the Natural History; Shakespeare's Globe; Hyde Park; Tower of London (maybe); a bus tour through London; Baker Street; Oxford Street;I might slip in a theatre evening; and for shopping purposes, Forbidden Planet, various bookshops, and Lush.

Cya on Saturday!

PS: At this moment in time, I still have to pack... but since we're starting the journey in seven hours, I still have time. In seven hours it will be four in the morning. Who needs sleep, anyway?

Edit: All I can say is that a friend of mine from London used to call that building the Swiss Cottage, and it was near a square in a Theatre district... If I see him, I'll kick his butt for making me look stupid. :-D

Swiss Cottage is actually kind of north, more towards St. John's Wood and Hampstead.

umm (see below (minus the typos, of course)) and thanks :)

Swiss Cottage is nowhere near Leicester Square! It's by Hampstead, north and west of the center of town on the Jubilee line. Should only take twenty minutes or so to get to Leicester Square, it's not too bad.

ah, yes, I looked it up, that's not the Swiss Cottage I meant *blushes* but then I don't know what the thing I think of is called (see below please) - and thanks!

I'm not entirely sure if I am talking of the same Swiss Cottage as you are - what I see in my mind's eye is a swuare, with theatres all around, and close to that a building iwth Swiss figurines on it and a big pocket knife...?

Gosh, two typos and a grammar error in one sentence, that has to be some kind of record! :-D

Oooh, I think I know the place you mean and I THINK it's called the Swiss Centre.

[tysolna]

So the Swiss place does exist - I almost thought I had imagined it. :-D I'll check once I am there, but it is entirely possible that you are correct and I mixed something up. Wouldn't be the first time! Thanks again!

Oh! The Swiss Centre, yes, that is on Leicester Square. I like watching the clock figures go round. Have stood and watched that many a time.

Can you tell idahoswede and I have lived in and around London? :)
