Next week I'm going to London for 4 days with some buddies...since there are a lot of people from the UK here, any sight seeing tips?

I know the Big Ben of course, the London eye, tower bridge and the millenium dome! But I mean, some really exciting stuff...
(and good pubs)

Hi DaVinci,

The Millenium Dome is now called the O2 Arena, and it's now a venue for concerts and shows. So it's only worth going if there is a particular show you want to see.

Here's some links to schmap:

Thanks Tomcol, hm but there's so much to see and not so much time for a concert! But I keep this one in mind

Every stay in London is only complete when you visit the best and longest running play in theatre: Agatha Christy's "Mousetrap". It is called a London Landmark these days, since it has been running for 50 years already.

Don't know if that play is on DVD, you may need to read the book.
