We´ll go there then!   ;D
Actually we are staying very close to where I worked in London. Not far from Oxford Street.
I think Greenwich is on the South Bank of the river and a bit further up?

Yeah, just up from the Dome opposite Island Gardens.

There's lots of touristy things there, plus the local beers by 'Meantime Brewery' are very good, hic.  :P

I'd like to book a suite in the Shard. But the waiting list is too long.

We got everything quite cheap (and for free), from train tickets, boat and flight, the only thing expensive is the hotel - hard to get a central, decent hotel in London without paying for it. Think the Shart is out of our league though.  :'( :'( :'(

I don't know what you are planning to do in London, but there are lots of 2 for 1 offers for some of the touristy attractions, like the Dungeons and Waxworks etc, worth having a look online.

You won't get in the Shard anyway. Booked up for two years I think? There are cheap hotels in London if you can find them. Look on the internet on Booking.com.

We already booked through Booking.com, quite happy with what we found, a bit pricey though. You can get cheap hotels in the outskirts of London, but we want to be in the center. We also do want some standard.

Yea, Harters, we have to plan what to do, we tend to be a bit chaotic.  ;D

Sometimes that's the best way, spontaneous is good.

Well whatever you end up doing, hope you have a great time.  :)

Yes Alias, you'll feel at home here because we all speak English, just as they do in Denmark. ;D
