I love staying in hostels when I travel. However, I know not everyone is comfortable staying in them. My husband can’t stand them. But they’re inexpensive and usually of high quality – and cleaner than a few hotels I’ve stayed in. Have a great time in London!

Have a great time in London! I was only there for one day so I no suggestions besides don’t almost break your ankle the day before arriving (like I did).

I travel to conferences frequently, and it is pretty fun, but really you don’t get to see much if you don’t take a few extra days off. If your work will fund conference travel, make sure you try to take a few days on either end (I like after if I’m doing a talk, this way I don’t have to think about the talk while visiting castles or volcanoes).

@Paul I think I will :) a week goes by pretty quickly but it’d be great to do the pub thing one night with some locals

@RoboNuggie Cool. Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh, and if you can check out the Marks and Spencers Department store in Oxford Street – the food department will entice you ;-)

Go for it girl!

Seriously, I hope that you have a good time in London, and check out a proper (if there any left that is) English Pub, at least one Fish & Chip shop and the London Eye which I used to be skeptical about, but has since grown on me…

I’m kind of envious, but C’est la vie… you deserve it I think.

Why don’t you check out #ubuntu-uk on irc.freenode.net and see if anyone is in your neck of the woods at the time for a ubuntu beer :)
