My auntie invites me to go to London, yay! :bounce:
She's never been to London, and since I haven't been there for about 15 years it'll almost be like a first time for me, too (the town must have changed a lot; and I have changed, too).
I'd be grateful for some advice and tips where to go besides the well-known tourist places like the tower and such.
We'll probably have only about 4 days, so we'll need to make our picks cleverly.
We're especially interested in: fashion (not necessarily the big designers), fine fabrics (she's a tailor), history (rather social than military), flea markets, food, architecture, musical/theatre
Especially suggestions about where to get vintage / second-hand clothing (esp.50s) at reasonable prices are very welcome. I read that Camden town isn't what it was anymore...
Ways to save money, recommended accomodation, I wanna know it all.
We probably won't go before next spring, so there's plenty of time to look forward to the trip.
(I would have put this outside of the ladies' section, if only I knew where's the right place. So, bartenders, feel free to move it if there's a better place for it. Thank you.)
