** Going to London for the first time **

[aliq87]

Headed to London for the first time for 5 Days. Help me out ! What should I see , What should I eat, what are the sneaker/clothing shops to check out?

I am a "nature" person, so Hyde Park was an appreciated space when I was in London.

That's my recommendation.

go for a curry when you're out there

grab a bacon and/or sausage roll for breakfast from a stand if you're on the go

pretty much, with the food out there eat at whatever place you see. Try it all. 

Find a nice pasty shop, get a good pasty and pie in you.

Camdentown in the morning before it gets crazy busy with tourists is one of my favorite spots

Hyde Park is cool

catch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace

tbh you can knock out all the touristy things in London in about 2 days if you power thru it all.

Go to ur bank and buy about $500 USD in their currency..

Then when u need more money just withdraw at the ATMs (call ur bank and let them know that u will b there or they may freeze ur account)

Don't exchange ur funds there

EAski is right, always exchange your money here vs over there. It's not possible for all countries but the UK you should be fine

My fav area of London is Soho. Dope bars, shopping and food.

Go grub at Borough Market.

Shopping
Regent St and Oxford St.
Carnaby St
Berwick st.

Sneakers
Foot patrol
Size?
Offspring
JD Sports
Supreme

Go to Brick Lane for curry/Indian cuisine

All the touristy stuff is self explanatory. Keep your eyes out for Banksy pieces. They are scattered around the city.

Enjoy! London is great.

Pasty Shop
Oxford Circus/Piccadilly/Carnaby for shopping
Indian food is a must
Grilled cheese sandwich and Pork belly w/ jelly sandwiches at Borough Market

Aint much to do in London but eat fish and chips and listen to Dizzie Rascal.

But check out some clubs, I'm sure there's some good food spots as other NTers mentioned. And use that american accent to your advantage when talking to the ladies
