In a previous thread, I mentioned a trip my brother and I have planned to hike the length of Hadrian's Wall in Northern England (Northumberland and Cumbria). It turns out that I'll have a few days in London afterwards"”the evening of May 3rd to the morning of May 6th. This is my first trip ever to London.
I have two full days to work with (Monday and Tuesday). One day will be museum day. Bare minimum, I have the National Gallery (if only to see the Arnolfini Wedding) and the Tate Modern on the agenda. May also try to hit the British Museum, but that may be too ambitious.
Second day will be shopping day. Nothing bespoke as I have neither the time nor the resources. Here's what I have so far:
James Smith for a solid stick umbrella
Turnbull & Asser for a tie
Truefitt and Hill for shaving stuff
Regent Street to look at fabrics
What else am I missing? Food, I have covered"”large number of vegetarian restaurants throughout the city. I'll certainly need to bring back gifts for my wife and daughter (age 9). Anything you might recommend?
