re: Anyone been to London recently?
Posted by WhoDatBammer on 6/25/23 at 9:19 pm
Some of these have already been said, but my picks:

Westminster Abbey
Cabinet (Churchill) War Rooms
Tower of London, but just go...

Just went last month. Lots of good recs in this thread already. Definitely don’t miss Sagrada Familia. Casa Batllo is another cool Gaudi spot, as is Park Guell.
Make a reservation at Martinez. Ask for the seats that face the water. Wander around La Boqueria market for lunch and just eat copious ...

Food: Churchill Arms (pub, but great Thai in back); Dishoom; I always like grabbing lunch at Borough Market. I really liked tea at Fortnum’s. Not too pretentious but still nice.
Activities: Recently did a Westminster tour. You actually get to walk in the Lords and Commons chambers/lobbies. Really...

re: Highlands in BHam. Who has played it?

I played there yesterday for the first time in a long while. Great (short) golf course. One of the Par 3s is so short I took a 56 degree off the tee. It’s in great shape, but it was horrifically slow (as mentioned above). Worth a trip out, though. ...

We board the bus, get to the plane and are told there is a maintenance issue. We proceed to have flight time pushed back in 30 minute inc...
