Go. It is a great introduction to Europe since they speak English - or an almost intelligible version of it. I have been twice.

I went in 1982 on an 8 day(?) whirlwind business tour with 15 dealers + 3 handlers. I was a handler. London, Cambridge, Southend, Edinburgh, Loch Leven, Glascow. A drunken train ride from Edinburgh to Cambridge. Invading a pub in some thatched village while touring in a double-decker bus. A drunken walk from a Soho ‘gentlemen’s lounge’ to Kensington. Getting stoned in a motel in some godforsaken place on a foggy night . . . the movie American Werewolf in London was popular & walking back to my room outside alone, I heard a canine howl . . . yeah, I had a ball.

My wife & I went to London in 2004 for 6 nights. Museums. Parks. Hampton Court. The Tower. Westminister Abbey. An expensive city but great to visit. We even saw the Queen & Vladimir Putin.

Go.

Ian
