I kid, I kid. I haven't been to London since I was 12 so I'm no good for nightlife advice.
View original postYes, of course I could type this into a search engine, and I shall... but first I wanted to ask you. As I dutifully answer every "what to do in NY" query, it's now your turn. I'm going to be visiting London for the weekend in 2 weeks, an impromptu getaway (see my post below for the reason why).
View original postAt this point, I know ZERO about London. My friends are staying at a hotel on Leicester Square, so I need something nearby (either walking or easily accessible by public transportation). I figured I'll look up the subway maps and make sure my hotel is on the same line. Any caveats to that I should be aware of?
View original postI'm not really into museums. On Saturday evening, my friends are going to see The Book of Mormon, which doesn't really make sense to me - it's playing on Broadway, why fly across the Atlantic and then pay... hahaha I just saw how much they paid for the tickets. No. So I'll need something to occupy myself for a few hours.
You could always look into visiting the Globe. I don't think you would be able to get tickets to a play at this late stage, but I'm fairly sure they do regular tours.
View original postSo... what should we do? Where should we go? What sights/neighborhoods should be at the top of the list?
I saw you discounted the idea of taking the tourist buses out of hand, but it might be worth looking up the routes they take and visiting the same sites on your own. Things like St Paul's, The Tower, the Houses of Parliament and Buckinghman Palace are obvious non-Museum sights, and as Legolas said the parks can be nice weather-permitting. Even if you don't want to visit old art galleries and 'regular' museums, the Science Museum is a great choice.

The Library is the one with the several copies of Magna Carta, isn't it? *NM*
