 UK flist, any idea of things to do in London 22-27 July? Other Half is going to the London Free School of Critical and Feminist Theory 17-21st, and then she's going to linger for a few days. This is her first trip, so we'd be grateful for suggestions.

I'm so sorry. She likes books and museums and long walks and WWII, so all of those are good options. I think trips within England (to Oxford or Cambridge over Bristol, poss.) are likelier than Eurostar, but will in any case suggest. I do know she has to give at least one day to the British Library and/or SOAS for archival spelunking.

Thank you!

I wouldn't personally do the Paris daytrip but I know people who have come to London from a long way away and thought that it was worth taking their chance!

The Thames walk is good fun in central London and fun in a different way outside of London, through the countryside. You can start at one railway station and walk to the next one (for instance, Oxford to Abingdon, which is the bit I'm most familiar with... some great pubs en route).

If she decides on Oxford, I can offer more detailed recommendations. Or, you know, if she fancies meeting for a cup of tea or something.
