Same. I thought Oxford and Hampton Court Palace were pretty cool too. Visited both
in the same day we went to Stonehenge.  Previous Message  Previous Message  Previous Message If you are interested in the world, the British Museum. If you like modern art, the Tate. If you like any other art, the national gallery. The Imperial War Museum is great if you like military history. I’ve hear Churchill’s war-rooms are excellent but have never been. St. Paul’s is an amazing architectural achievement and has Nelson’s tomb in the basement which is a secular shrine to rival St,Francis’s tomb in the basement of the cathedral in Assisi. There are theater shows and shopping to rival NYC, if that’s your thing. And I’ll leave it to the foodies to recommend restaurants but it’s a world class culinary city as well. You can do a day trip to Stonehenge which is amazing, or to Bath, which combines Roman and British history and culture.  Previous Message I go back to my old job in a few weeks. Thank you taxpayers! This is all insane.
