I am going down to London on the 21st of March, as part of a college trip in my government&politics lesson; we are going to get a tour of the house of commons and possibly watch priministers question time.
Once we have finished we will get 4 hours to go 'sight-seeing' around London by ourselves.
I don't suppose you could arrange a London meet up for this date?
🙂
I'd go, we can play a few brief games of chess together; and I can get to meet many of you there: before I had to leave.
So what do you think?
If not, what things would you suggest are good things to go 'sight-seeing' at in London?
