Need advise about cool places in London

Heya,

I'm going on a little 6 day trip to London in a week and i'd like to hear if any of you know (and im sure you do) of extraordinary places to see or be at...

for example the Absolut Ice Bar... you get my drift...

because i dont fancy a trip with mare sightseeings...

Tanks (Panzers and Tigers) in advance

Science museum in Kensington is a must for any tech head, I could have spent several days in there

You'd have to go Harrods, if only for the cars parked outside. (On a good day, there could be anything like a Bugatti, Pagani, Ferrari F40/50 or Enzo, or anything similar)
Nightlife on Edgware Road is amazing, but saying that, it's full of Arabs, but I love it. Great cars there too.
Covent Garden is wicked for the classic market and the shops there as well.
Oxford Street is also good for shopping.
Plenty of museums to go to, lots of sightseeing on an open-top bus is quite a good idea.
Unfortunately they took the McLaren garage away from Park Lane a couple years ago, or I would definitely have recommended that.

I wouldnt miss the madame tussauds. Also oxford street is great just to experience the oppitamy of retail shopping.

One thing you'll notice in London.. for our nations capital.. there's hardly any english people there mostly foreigners cashing in on our higher pay rate and human rights. But its still a city not to be missed.

London's KINGS CROSS RAILWAY STATION is the best place in London.
Coz from there you can get on a train to Scotland

I spent the day in London yesterday, I like Westminster and South Bank alot. I'd suggest a look at the London Eye, Science Museum, Buckingham Palace, Park Lane (I found an awesome yellow Lamborghini Mucielago LP640 Roadster from Stuttgart parked outside The Dorchester yesterday plus a few other nice cars, and walk up further and take a peek into Park Lane BMW where they're got armoured cars galore and an example of a 5-Series A(rmoured)'s bullet proof glass in the window, also at the moment there's a Mosler MT900S for sale in London Group Lotus & Morgan, Park Lane. Yum.

Covent Garden is really rather interesting and inside there's a place called 'New York Deli' where they do the most amazing waffles in the world, but until December Covent Garden Tube Station is Exit Only so you need to walk down to Leicster Square to get back on the Tube. I wouldn't advise a boat trip on the River Thames though, we did one yesterday and it went on for 3hours! Piccadilly Circus is pretty cool too and nearby is Hamley's which is the most amazing toy shop in the world.
