I never tire of Tate Modern. Have a lovely time.

It’s not my first time in London, though, and -unfortunately- I don’t have plenty of time to visit. I’ll meet up with a British friend so I am hopeful of not seeing touristy things.
Actually, last time I was in London we met at the Tate Modern! It’s definitely worth it.

But I think you have been there before, possibly. If so, for me, it is better to see the things less touristy. See Tate Modern (and walk across the Millenium Bridge to get there); have a good meal in a good restaurant in Notting Hill; visit Primark in Oxford Street (which, I believe, is the largest Primark in the world); get a last-minute ticket for the Theatre in the West End (Judi Dench is in something at the moment and you might be able to get tickets to see her), etc.
Pietro, I might ask you for more help, thank you. You have already helped a lot and have secured your ticket to my house warming party!

@ Andrew: let me know if there is something I can do to help.

I don’t understand what happened … did somebody not get the memo?

If you’re going to London, my advice would be to go to the Tate Modern, providing you like modern art. For me, it is a ‘must’ every time.
Hi Gail,
Yes, that all sounds lovely. Only just over three weeks and I will be able to do exactly that! I’m sure we don’t need the wine for the honesty. But let’s have it anyway, for the hell of it!

Perhaps a quick to the local market – buy your most favorite decadent foods and wine and have a meal – in your perfect flat on the perfect street. I would so love to join you. I believe we would talk for hours. And the wine would make us more honest than otherwise possible.

Love Gail
peace……
