[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 2145144, member: 116810"] I've come a bit late to the party on this, but I have a couple of thoughts. Go to Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park on a Sunday afternoon - anybody can speak on any topic. This carries risks (there's the usual cadre of racists and homophobes) but there are also some amusing speakers and brilliant hecklers. Try one of the learned societies. For example, the Royal Society of Arts in John Adam Street has lectures every week, on a wide variety of subjects, and admission is free. Have a stroll along the Thames, particularly the South Bank. If you start at Waterloo Station, you can go east, toward the Tate Modern gallery, the Globe Theatre and maybe take in Borough Market, or west towards Vauxhall, past Lambeth palace and the MI5 (intelligence service) HQ, which is in a mad modern building. Alternatively stay at Waterloo and visit the National Theatre. There's usually a free exhibition of some kind in the Foyer. Most of the big National Galleries are free to enter, and several contain pictures of International fame and importance. That's a few thoughts off the cuff - hope you're still here, and enjoying yourself. [emoji846] [/QUOTE]
