    I will be going to London for a 2 week holiday to visit friends and relatives
    Its been 4 yrs since I left London when I finished my degree.
    SO is there anything new that is worth visiting?
    I already have the Olympic park on my mind
    Maybe I should just visit Imperial War Museum and the Tower of London as they where the only place I havent been while I was in London
    Are there any new restaurant/bar/club on the trend?
    Name a few please

    Wouldnt waste your time on the Imperial War Museum..
    you could always go to the Shard.

    Winter wonderland at HydePark - seasonal.
    Broadway shows? - if you like plays? the spice girls, vivaforever and whitney houston, bodyguard ones are out
    Shopping? - westfield at stratford? Couple of new shops around bond/regent area..

    depends on what you like, really.

    yes, i would definitely also watch one of the broadway shows, really worth watching!
    then, for restaurants, there are so many choices...but i normally go hunting for korean, japanese and chinese restaurants near chinatown as i dun have anything near my place...

    the nutcracker is on only till mid of next month if i'm not mistaken. so if you're looking for something different you might want to try that.

    there are a couple yummy korean restaurants at new malden too. that's only train/bus accessible though...

    I also recommend viewing St Pauls and Westminster Abbey, two amazing places. You'll probably complete through Trafalgar Square as well, get your picture taken seated on the lions, this hasn't dropped sufferer to Wellness and Protection and is still permitted.

    I've only tried one so far, Jee Cee Neh - http://tinyurl.com/d7oj6oe

    Am looking forward to try others as well. Apparently Su La is somewhat famous, might give it a shot.
