Subject: RE: Music scenes in London
C#H is a bit of a trek walking from the British Museum, from Russell Square, catch a tube, and change to the Northern \(black) line to Camden Town, or if it is a nice day, take the canal walk from behind Kings Cross atation to Regents park. Send me a PM with a contact email, and I will send mini-maps of the neighbourhoods where folking takes place. The folk club is (90% cetain sa I have only been there twice) on Tuesdays. Also google (please note there are other search engines - to show I am not advertising) Folk London.

The British Library (as well as the museum) is worth a visit. Although you will not be able to access the reading rooms, there are always interesting exhibitions on (including a free one in the foyer, and a small museum to the side.

Also, let me know if you would like to know about some 'off the beaten track'places to visit. Unfortunately, apart from the usual tourist locations, the city of London is being turned into a high-rise glass monstrosity.

For stopping for 'refreshments' there are still interesting pubs along Fleet Street, Aldwich, and The Strand. There is an interesting gallaried pub next to the Royal Courts of Justice in Fleet Street which I think is called The Banker which used to be the only Branch of the Bank of England.
