What's up NT? Long time no post, aside from occasional lurks, but I'd really appreciate your knowledge. I'm traveling to London soon with a few buddies and plan to visit for about 5 days. Knowing that most of y'all travel, I'd appreciate any suggestions and/or feedback for attractions, events, eatery, nightlife, etc. So far, we've planned a soccer match and visiting pubs. I'm currently a college student so I don't plan to uncontrollably splurge. Thanks in advance!

TL;DR
Cliffs:
- Visiting London soon
- Staying for 5 days with a few friends
- Curious about cool and fun suggestions
- Somewhat balling on a budget (college student)

I'd want to try and meet Megan Clara. She seems like she'd say yes if you ask her out to dinner.

Stayed in London for a month this summer for work. Tube is great. Soho def great for shopping. Obviously partying is great it's a city. If you're into that freaky stuff peep "torture garden"

@trunks206 - Chelsea vs. Liverpool
My friends are the legit Chelsea and Liverpool fans. I'm not a huge soccer fan but I can appreciate/respect it. Never know, this experience could turn it around.

Most definitely will look into East London too. That's why I figured I'd make a post. Don't want to return with "regrets" or empty opportunities.

Much appreciated y'all!
