What sort of crap would you recommend to do in London (and general area) if you had 3 days to kill? Wife, 3 kids and two in-laws will be there. Touristy crap but don't want to get stabbed.
Bodybuilding related: I'm wider than Heath.

I hear converting to Islam is one of those must do things...

Being a closet homosexual, you may enjoy Wimbledon.

ditch the entourage, hook up with the other London get Biggers who post often, circle jerk, meet up back with the fam bam and continue on as if nothing happened.

If you're in London, in June, you should thrust back and forth inside him until you nut off.

Don't go south of the river, all black and Muslim. Do the usual touristy shit. Having lived there for so long I know it's only a thin layer of bling over the mountains of shit and poverty. See a show or two, see the museums and shops and then GTFO.

The best thing you can do in June in London is go to Ibizia.
Hope that helps.

x2 Do the touristy stuff and avoid any interaction with "real" Londoners.

A walking tour might be interesting

I've been asked to go to the UK several times fr seminars.i just have no desire. Lately it's been Paris. Too much going on over there (terrorism wise) to even consider traveling to that part of the world.

You are statistically more likely to die on the plane over there...

You can actually visit a few countries at the same time if you go to the right places.
Visit Southall and it is just like being in India.
Visit Brixton and it is just like being in the Caribbean.
Visit Newham, it is just like being in Nigeria.
London has so much to offer.
Reality is if you are there for 3 days with the family and have never been there before you might as well stick to the tourist routes.
Touristy crap = Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Tower of London, London Bridge. Do the Natural History Museum its massive, Science Museum, dont bother with any of the others. Buckingham Palace.
Dont waste time trying food, if your coming from most other countries, the eating experience at 90% of places you find will be mediocre. If you see a chain you like, you might as well just go there.
For transport get a travel card so you can use underground, buses, DLR without having to worry about different tickets. Heres a link, you only need zones 1-2 to see 90% of all the tourist sites. No point going further a field, better stay central as that way you can develop an unrealisticly enjoyable tourists view of what life in london is like.

As a getbigger you must shop in Harrods. Theres a Swarovski encrusted home gym in there you can buy for about £150k

Tea houses with scones, fresh cream and jam. :P It would be heavenly to feel the crisp cold air on my skin while rugged up in jeans, scarf and hat and gloves.

if you behave that way, then the terrorists have won.

Stick with Paris, better food, better wine, plenty of sights, beautiful women with sexy accents, cant go to far wrong. Still Paris can stake a claim to Europes most dangerous suburb, not that you would ever venture there.

Natural History Museum is an absolute must - and the science museum - kids and adults will love it.
Covent Garden is cool - with the street performers.

Order a pint of bitter. Taste it. Order a pint of lager.
Greet everyone you meet with Arright Guv or Arright Luv. Ask for directions to The Caff and disparage immigrants.
Pissed means drunk, not angry, but they'll still eject you from the pub if you're pissed enough. I'm guessing this will be a handy tidbit. If you're in good company someone may offer to buy you some piss which you may be expected to either skull/neck. If this happens, sooner or later it will be your shout, so don't fuck off before then.
"I voted for the other guy."
Theatre, museums, once in a lifetime historical sites. There's a really good cheese shop somewhere too. It was either in or near a market. Hth.

Pussy americans wouldnt last 2 minutes in the mean streets of PARIS

Agree with it all. Only not with the DLR. You find yourself taking the DLR you're already in Pakistan and need to hastily make your way West again.
I slag it but there are great stuff to visit. There's some amazing history and stories to explore. Some nice wine bars on the Southbank I used to frequent and took a stroll along the river at night. That's when London is quite beautiful and enchanting and even sceptics like myself enjoyed being there.
However, never in my life will I live there again.

Join the jihad. Visit a mosque. March in an Islamic protest against British rule. Behead a Buckingham Palace guard on the streets. Don't worry. No one will stop you.
-
London is nothing like the rest of the UK, what you see there is a concentration of yuppies, immigrants and try-hards, it's a huge parody of itself. You should try visiting somewhere a bit more down to earth to get a flavour of reality...
-
Bring the whole family to visit and train at Dorians gym, Temple Gym. Your kids can learn about the history of bodybuilding. Very educational.
-
The Temple Church where the Knights Templar are buried is good to visit (there are some nice pubs nearby Fleet St). Also, St Paul's Cathedral is good for a look around.

pledge allegiance to the caliph

There is a lot of family activities to do in London. I have been there about 20 times myself and it is easily in in the top 5 of my most favorite cities. Lots of culture and historical experiences to be had here. For a short time like you have, look into doing one of the All Day tours that you book from the hotel. Winsdor/Bath/Stone Henge is one that is relatively cheap and a good way to see a lot of the outlying areas of London as well. The tour guides are very well informed and you will be surprised to learn some of the things you may not know. (In terms of acreage and space - parks and such - London is the greenest city of its size.)
Or you can book a Hop On Hop Off bus and scoot around town to different areas of your choice on the map that reflect your interests.
I was there this past May and while London is notorious for having wet/bad weather, it was absolutely beautiful then. It was actually so warm that the Chelsea Flower Show was in a tizzy because the warm weather was causing everything to bloom ahead of schedule and the festival was still a bit away. There is plenty to do, so just enjoy it and have fun.
The food is great there. Well, all the food except British food. They are the blandest cooks of all time apparently. But you can find some fantastic American, Paki, Chinese, etc... places to eat.
Paris is not that bad either. I was there again at the first of December last year and it is still a beautiful city even in cold weather. Yeah, there are "areas" that are gritty and where you don't want to go, but overall the city is terrific and worth a few visits to over the years.

London is a shit hole.
Go to Paris instead like someone said.
End of thread.

Thanks to everyone for the information, it certainly helps out and I really do appreciate the humor and well thought out replies.
As a way of saying thanks I will post up some cock pics in August, the trainer style.

Or be FC Millwall fan ;D & Chelsea mob would :-*

Same view as me ;D

I'm surprised tourists even bother coming to London. Paris is perfect for tourists, all the good stuff is in the city center and all the shit is kept on the outskirts.
With London you have piles of shit all over the place, but even within that shit you'll find hidden gems. It wont stop surprising you what you'll find here. Great if you live here, but not exactly tourist friendly.

Outed on your first post. Good stuff.

Is there a Benny Hill museum there?
If not, can someone build one?

They tried but couldn't make much progress. The workmen kept chasing large breasted women around.
