Let me think...

You can walk for example over the Milleniumbridge (the bridge between St-Paul's and Tate Modern) where they took a shot for the London-video

Take a look at Embankment Gardens, Arts Theatre (Closer to Heaven), Royal Festival Hall, Savoy Theatre, The Monument,...

And ofcourse, don't forget to buy in one of the many London musicshops Fundamental/ism ;-)
Don't give me all your northern pain
Don't sell me New York in the rain
Let's leave our promises behind
Rewind and try again

When are you going?

I was in London in december 2005 and I wanted to visit 'Heaven'. Indeed because of the PSB-relation with it (Part of the video of Was it Worth It was shot there, Closer to Heaven: the song on Nightlife, etc), but unfortunately it was very late on that monday night before there was anybody in, so we (me and my best girlfriend) decided to leave for our hotel, because we had to get our flight the next day also.

Ofource I visited the Thames at night (sleeve Disco3) and so on.... yeah I know I've pretty much got infected by the PSB virus last year! And I LOVE it. ;-)

It is well known fact that you have everything or even more. But, still, let others enjoy their time in London.

Me owning this and that is out of the question. There's nothing much more than what you wouldn't see in your local record shop's used department. I think I will give Soho a miss next time I go to London, unless it's to the c*** :roll:
