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

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.

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? :)
