No problem, have a good time.

London is a great city to visit as a tourist...... but a shit-hole to live and work in.

Not wrong there.

Having said that, Get into the City by Liverpool Street Station. Check out the round Ice Rink sat in Finsbury & Broadgate building zones. You come out of Liverpool Street Station right under & in this development complex.

I was involved in building those buildings with their external Aluminium/Glass & Granite façade's (cladding). Some of those window units weighed 7 Tons each once the Granite was mounted on them. 5m x 3m & slid into place via Tower cranes locking into massive Aluminium Dove-tail blocks sat on the concrete platforms (floors). Joseph Gartner also built the very impressive Lloyds Bank in London from Stainless Steel. It all lights up Purple in the evenings. Not sure if their re-fit might have a different colour scheme though.

Whatever you do in London, I'm sure you'll have a great time. The Natural History Museum is a long day but definitely one not to be missed either.

Enjoy.

PS. - If you must do Soho, be careful you don't get ripped off.
