Again, check my location if another trip is in the offing. If I am in London (likely) or anywhere else in the SouthEast (extremely likely) then I'd love to meet for a coffee. And a walking tour!
I did Spitalfields on Sunday - loved it. And then managed to miss the start of two different tours on Tuesday and Wednesday because I didn't factor in the speed my 61 year old friend with mobility issues can move. Which worked out for the best because she preferred me as a guide in the end anyway - I did read up on where we were going and everything was at her pace. I can do the tours whenever I want after all.

Since you live in Greenwich, Sundae Girl, is there any reason you have not mentioned the Observatory?
After all, why would it not be interesting for a visitor from overseas to stand in both the East and the West at the same time? Or can't that be done anymore? |

Oh it is interesting and you can still stand astride the meridian. And from my local pub you can see the green light arcing above, showing the line in the sky. I love it.
But Ibram is a 16/17 year old and will be on a school trip, he has limited time alone. I was trying to appeal to his stated personal tastes, which was why I only posted specific information rather than a paeon to the wonderful history and sights London has to offer. You are right about Greenwich being worth a visit though and I always tell people I'd be willing to meet for a coffee or a drink!
