Or, Things To Do in London When You're Cool!

Hey Guys.

So my dear friend brimtoast is visiting London this week, and wanted a list of cool not super touristy things to see and do with her parents while they're there. I have y few ideas, but I know that I have Flistees with good London knowledge, so I'm asking you all for ideas too.
And then we can create the greatest guide to London that livejournal has ever known!

Okay I'll start.

I lovelovelove the South Bank. It can be kinda busy and everything but still. There is always something cool going on, there's the really great bookshop that we had a marmfish picnic in, art exhibitions, the book fair, and let us not forget, the busker who sang a serial killer song especially for me.

In places to eat, I love the World Food Cafe in Neil's Yard near Covent Garden. There is also a amazing Moroccan restaurant there that I can't remember the name of for the life of me.

I say, go to the British Library, it's incredible.

Go for a drink in the new, gorgeous St Pancreas station and read the poetry in the floor.

What about you guys? Any suggestions?

(PS. Man, after this I am going to have to think of some sights to see in Leeds!)

(PPS look, I have worked out how to do line breaks on my phone \O/)

Who doesn't love science?! That place is totally amazing. Even if some of their games are fiendishly difficult ;)

I've not heard of the design museum, where is it?

uhm... it is sort of hard to find (though you once signed a map to it). Looking at the map now, it is... near Tower Bridge. I remember a very exciting period with Faerlan the day after the first London signing in which we hunted around for it (:
It isn't a free-entry sort of museum though, and the exhibits change fairly regularly (though i went to one exhibit twice because I loved it (: )
