What shouldn’t I do in London?
Visit the Natural History Museum during the school holidays
Children love dinosaurs.
Alternative: Absolutely anything else you can think of. Even visit Madame Tussauds.
Visit Oxford Street
London is a big city, but it is smaller than you imagine. The underground is a good way of getting from one side to the other. But if you are a tourist, make most of your trips on foot.
Ask anyone if they know the Queen
“Oh, you’re American, do you know Barack Obama?” sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn’t it?
Make conversation with strangers on the underground
See these guys here? They have their eyes shut, on a recycled London Metro newspaper, their phones, the awful adverts, or on the door.
| A．Take the underground when you could walk |
| B．Living in London is quite convenient but expensive |
| C．For the Americans reading this, Oxford Street is like a mall |
| D．Don’t carry an open shopping bag or handbag over your shoulder |
| E．They do not want to speak, let alone make eye contact with a stranger |
| F．That’s what everyone in London thinks when asked if they know the Queen |
| G．Parents want to feel that their kids are doing something educational on holiday |
