BUT if you're coming to London, or especially if you live here, make sure you do this. Take one of the ripoff open-top bus tours. Yeah, they're tacky. But it is a truly amazing way to see the city -- perhaps more amazing for those of us who live here and never ever go to see any of the tourist sights. Other must sees: Camden of a weekend - 250,000 misfits crammed into a square mile. Leicester Square Tube at 11pm on a Saturday night. 50,000 groovers packed into a square yard. Tower Bridge at 5am on a Sunday morning. Absolutely deserted, the only time you will see it this way. Brick Lane market, early as possible on a Sunday (2 miles N of Tower Bridge :-)). Every stolen good your heart desires. Smithfield Meat Market. The only place in London where the pubs open at 5am. - -- Johnny Deadman
