[Sca-cooks] OT: Visiting London

[Ana Valdés]

Tate Modern, don't miss it, wonderful, gigantic proportions and one of the
best collections av Modern Art. The reconstruction of the Globe,
Shakespeares own theater, great building and interesting plays. Near the
Tate, go to the Borough Market, where you can find wonderful food, cheeses
and breads, http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/

That's Londons oldest market, from the Roman times, from the Market you
stroll down to the river and find the Globe and the Tate Modern in the same
walk. Ride the Eye if you want a great sight over London.
Go to Waterloo and take a train to Richmond, only 25 minutes train but
another world. Hampton Court, Henry the VIII castle, Key Garden
extraordinary gardens, Kingston upon Thames nice church and great walks
along the Thames.

Go to Bloomsbury and walk in Virginia Woolf's path. Check London Eater for
good eating suggestions, http://londoneater.com

Good luck!
