Any tips for us girlies??? I'll be there too, with DD! Staying in Piccadilly (Park Lane), and shopping, etc. We are also on a fact-finding mission (colleges), so there must be some toiling done amidst the FUN!! Drinkies are OUT, as DD is only 17 (and not a consumer of alcohol). ;)

I've heard Regent street has lots of GREAT SHOPS...as well as some others. I LOVE this board, and have learned SO much from everyone. You are all so informative and generous with your time. Without all of you...I'd be LOST!! :grouphug:

Kaylee,

Have you ever been to Henry's Cocktail Bar (http://www.henrysbarandcafe.com/store_locations/covent_garden_london_bar.htm)?

It's my absolute favourite place in the world for cocktails - they make them in front of you, chucking the bottles in the air and so on. Check out the menu for a full list! There is one in Covent Garden in Henrietta Steert.

Jon & I were gutted when we went to Birmingham a few months ago to start our evening in Henry's with one or two ;) cocktails and it had closed :(

We also like the one in Covent Garden :)

uktigger~:wave: Hi, Eve...Tigger is my FAVORITE character!!

Thanks for the info, I am looking forward to all the festive lights & shops!
Especially Harrod's, as I've been receiving their catalog for eons. ;) We have lots of fun things planned, and are looking forward to enjoying all of London, and the outlying areas. ::yes::

I'm posting LIVE from DISNEYLAND!! Time to get going back to the parks and PLAY in the HAPPIEST PLACE on EARTH!! I especially love the eves, with the snowfall on Main Street USA. The HM looks amazing, with all the decorations from the Nightmare before Christmas!
