Trip to London

[hippyhoppy]

I'm planning a trip to London soon and need some help. I will arrive at St Pancras 1ish and want to visit Carnaby Street, ending up at Marylebone Station for about 5ish in the evening to meet friends for drinks... Don't know where to start as it's been years since I've been... Can anyone advise best possible routes and maybe any other things to do while I'm there... thanks...

From St Pancras by Victoria Line to Oxford Circus and Carnaby St is a couple of hundred yards away. Then back on the Bakerloo Line to Marylebone Station. I don't think there's anything much to do in London.

use the Vic line as mentioned above, it'll be a 5-10min journey. Carnaby street is an easy 5min walk from Ox Circus station.
Not sure it'll be how you remember it though.

after that, it depends on what you're looking for.
More shopping ?
Selfridges is a 10min walk (max) up Ox street towards Bond street.
HMV and Virgin megastores on Oxford street, giant Next, and the pricier stores on Bond Street.
Covent Garden is a 15min stroll (there's shortcuts, but) the scenic routes down Regent Street and through Leicester Square. Loads of places to eat round there, at prices to suit everyone.

British Museum (15min walk from Ox circus) is free and well worth a look.

and if you get a bus pass you may as well jump on and off the buses and save some time.
hope that helps.

Don't forget your pasport, and remember to put your watch forward by 1 hour. And pack the factor 2 suntan lotion.
