And the Globe Theater, which is a must for me when I'm in London. We went to various other museums outside of London, but I'd probably have to look at TCG's notebook of the trip to remember them all. He took lots of notes while we were on trains. I can't read or write on a moving vehicle, so I listened to my iPod instead.
Laura, you and your DH should totally come to London with TCG and me sometime! If we can ever afford to go back again. This home ownership thing is both wonderful (peace and quiet, pretty painted walls, not having to call the police on upstairs neighbors) and a occasionally a pain (tax bills, heating service contracts, other random bills that seem to pop up every few days).
We visited the Globe in 1994, while it was being built. Somewhere at home, I have a photo of St. Paul's taken through the Globe's beams. I'd love to go back to see a play some day.
But they wouldn't be lost! One of them would have just been living in Seattle. Totally different.
I'm starting to wonder if there's a castle to rent near London for the next F2F.

This would be lovely.

I like the way you think!
I visited the Globe when I was in London in 1998, pretty soon after it had opened. I would love to see a play there.
When I lived in London I spent a lot of time at the Museum of Natural History. Just park myself in one display or another and draw for hours. I roll my eyes at the resources I've ignored since then (the V&A was nice, clothes are pretty, but DINOSAURS).
Ginger, I vote Team Stubborn. In fact, I'd wear the shirt.
Also vote for stubbornness to beat the banks, but life is never that simple...
I love London. I spent two weeks there both years of my grad school programs. I museumed the hell out of that city.

YES! The David Bowie exhibit will still be open when we're there in July! So between that and the fashion section, do you think I need more than one day?

It depends. Just those two exhibits, probably not, but I would plan on spending most of the day there. If you want to explore more of the museum, probably. If you need a break in between exhibit, the food court there had been completely redone from the last time I was there, and it was very nice.
