I loved it. For the 4th time.
It's not been good since they took out the slides.

Didn't you notice that?
I like it but it bloody fills up with schools on cheap ass day trips.
This is why I went at 10am on a Sunday ! 
I was sad that I couldn't find Keifer's Lilith or the Lobster Telephone. Have they gone?
Still saw some of my favourite Lichtensteins and got overly emotional at Pollock and Money, so all in all a good visit.
I second the Natural history Museum. 
That's only cos your mums in it
Oh, no he didn't! 
No, no and no. Forget all that museum rubbish. A good Historic pub crawl is what you require. Plan it on the interweb, buy a pub guide or simply try my starter pack selection, hmmm, The Lamb & Flag at Covent Garden, The Bunch of Grapes and the Cheshire Cheese both in Fleet Street, The Prospect of Whitby down Wapping Wall way, one of those lovely little Pubs on the river down Shad Thames and Bermondsey Wall way, and finish up down the road at The George, possibly the pick of the bunch. imo. Of course there are many others in a more central route you could enjoy but then you have the tourist factor to deal with. Oh and end up with a chinky at Chinatown if you have time.
Another vote for museums here! Especially as they're free.
Pubs? The thing you can do literally anywhere??
(Although there are a few awesome historic ones in London though with amazing stories, I do agree. Good to look at like a museum though, rather than wasting your money and time getting drunk in them.)
If I was back in London and had time to kill, I'd go to the big second-hand book, music, comic and video shop at Notting Hill Gate (just around the corner from the Tube station) at 14 Pembridge Rd.

Your idea of 'big' must be quite different to mine.
I'm not sure what connotations that has.
Gay ones.

Does he mean the one we go to?
I don't remember any videos.

Maybe it has changed, reduced its number of premises, since 15 years ago. Used to be a music and video shop, and alongside that a book and comic shop, where I bought a stack of early Viz issues and much else. Compared to crappy second-hand bookstores in Singapore and Indonesia, it was big.
Ah, I think just the book and comic bit is there now.

I've lost track of how many they have at Notting Hill now; there's the comics, magazines and book branch that I think is at 14 PR, and two separate shops for music and for DVDs and videos at the opposite end of Notting Hill Gate. There used to be one or two others, for clothing and furniture, at what I guess would be about 20 PR, but I'm pretty sure both have shut in the past few years.
