Right now, I'm in england for my aunts wedding, and I need some suggestions.
1. What should I do in london? (going there tomorrow)
2. IS there any specialty food/candy/drink I should get?
3. What are some good shows, entertainment, etc?
Thanks for the help.

Depends what kinda stuff you looking to do?

London is great for headlining music acts, you can see some pretty good bands

i would say the millenium wheel but its a bit naff, but i suppose you should go on it just to say ive been there

Gotta have some fish and chips, well not nessacerily the fish but get some proper chips, as opposed to "fries". Have at least one curry if you've never had them, brick lane is curry heavan if you do

Theres probably lots more to do in Lonodon that i cant quite recall at the moment (what with me not living there, although i was there yesterday)

I believe curry is indian. But england does have good indian. Btw Millenium wheel is really cool to see and be on. (Long line up) umm, go to restaurants. Good ones.

Well, there's a 3 level arcade near king's cross station IIRC. I wasn't able to get there when I went

That's because it's in Wales, not England (IIRC

)
