Camden Market (brill shopping opportunity) & Brighton (squirty ice-cream!!) both excellent suggestions, thanks Chris!!

Echo in a reading room, isn't it like a library & you gotta be quiet??

She's already here Sorcha & staying with an Uncle so she may already have done a few of the sights but resting was a priority when arrived last Thursday and had 2 hours being held in immigration. What a dreadful experience that must have been for her!!

Thanks for the guide offer & link, Micca Dear, may take you up on that & you can guide us too *grin* Will get in touch when she's with us if she hasn't already done the London stuff!
