I didn't think the London Aquarium was that good 
If the weathers good, the London Eye is really worth a go; if your taking the missus pre-book a champagne flight - you get a better place to wait until you board as well rather than queuing with the minions

Loooads to do. Are you going drinking? We usually get off at a random stop on the tube and just walk. London zoo and aquarium as said are good. Theres loads of museums and art galleries. Loads of places to shop. London eye if you havent done it. Theres a 3D imax if you wanna go to the cinema. Camden as said and covent garden are worth checking out. Last few times ive been on the picadilly end of regents street theres a weird woman by the tube entrance shouting stuff about jesus, give her a slap? Ive been going to london alot recently, went out for 3 nights last week, going again on friday, were doing a pub crawl along the thames in my mates boat lol.

Whats so special about Camden Market? I went a couple of weeks ago and it was full of 'pakistanis' on market stalls selling generally gothic and chavvy clothing.
Was full of said characters and from what I could see the whole area looked like Skegness minus the arcades? Did I go to the wrong end or something? Covent Garden was much much better, street performers were good there
The Tate was....different....didnt really understand half of it, was glad it was free as well tbh. Oxford street though is HUGE, we were knackered trawling up and down it and on and off tubes for the best part of 5 or 6 hours

Oxford street isnt that big, its easy enough to end up on bond or regents street tho.

I think Camden is brilliant! Market is pretty cool, but go on a weekend otherwise a lot of the stalls aren't there. Plus it's packed with food stalls, can get pretty much anything - although the pizza's that the guy sells near the tricks/fair/unicycle style shop are crap, though he does sell fresh lemonade that's pretty nice
