England is where i'm going to. when: 23rd of june till 6th of july where exactly: starting in london, going as far north as possible, manchester, some places along the way and back. why: holiday, adventure, rain <3, driving on wrong side of road, countryside, muffins. how: flying to stansted, renting a car, sleeping in a tent where possible. Any information regarding essential places to visit, gigs, places to stay etc is greatly appreciated. Hurrah! |

Yummmmm! I'd say check TimeOut but it never seems to list anything I'm into. You can do all the tourist stuff in London for free, dont pay for sightseeing or anything. Go to Tate Britain and Tate Modern, maybe. Central London isn't amazing, too many chain shops, check out some markets, Camden maybe, Portobello. Avoid Birmigham. IDM http://www.ginglik.co.uk/index.php?id=saturdays.html I just saw Suburban Knight is playing fabric on the 23rd. England can be expensive... check out buses such as MegaBus and EasyBus for the cheapest way of getting around. |

sorry i forgot to mention i'll be skipping london entirely, since i still have pretty good memories of it from the previous visit, and i'll need my money for petrol and all the rest. Ceri kindly pointed out that London is not the best city to visit by car and i don't really feel like parking 2 hours away from the centre and taking an expensive train to the centre. I'm saving scotland for next time. I am itching to go there as well but i am going to see first if i can handle the solitude, traffic, expenses etc. Cheers for the link. Checking. |

Don't come to birmingham. It will sour your perception of the english people. |

I plan on seeing some things on the way there and i'm hoping to get there the 30th or so. Jivver: i've no idea whats going on gig-wise anywhere. Where abouts are you and are you planning on going to any music events in the next 2 weeks? |

Er, North eh? NORTH???? Well, be prepared for much grottiness in the towns and cities. It's Grim Up North. Best places would be Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. Birmingham's meant to be pretty good these days, but I can't vouch for that. The whole staying in a tent idea is not particularly practical. I would advise against that unless you want to stay in caravan/camping parks and probably pay about the same as you would for a Travelodge anyway. You can't really just set up your tent anywhere you like - you either get kicked off, kicked in or possibly burnt alive. Stay in Travelodges or Hotel Formule 1's....cheap and clean and safe. Anyway, whatever you do, don't go to Peterborough. |
