I may be dropping by London next week for a day or two (probably monday-wednesday). Any tips for any medium prized hotels i can stay at? I really just need a bed actually, dont have to be luxurious at all, but i want it to be pretty central and not complete trash.

Next week should be before the price bomb at the Olympic Games right?

Also tips on what i could do in London? (going alone, main plain is going to amsterdam with some friends but i dont feel like going straight home after that so thats why i wanna drop by London or something) Mainly going to check out Brittish Museum and stuff like that, i also wanted to eat at a Ramsey place sometime =)

Thanks!

also thinking about Berlin, but i think London suits better when going alone. More worthy museums and such whereas Berlin is more for partying?

Few friends wanted to go to London and I can only say good luck booking anything anywhere close to the centre

I would go see Madame Tussauds wax figures museum, I was there like 8 years ago but it was pretty cool.

I guess lots of londonians would know way better than me and it depends on what you are interested in. Anyway, here are some possibilities.

For "serious" activities, as museums, I would recommend National gallery, and Tate modern (go to the top) and the bankside next to it is nice.
I like to walk in the City where you can find little churches lost among the buildings. For residential area with victorian buildings and nice cars, you can go to Mayfair.
Not so serious : Camden Town is a nice place with quite a lot of markets, and famous for the punk culture (obviously, now that it is quite famous, it's not "underground" and there are plenty of commercial activities), it's also quite funny to visit Soho.

Have a good stay there.

sorry for shitty english.
