London-bound

So, the office is sending me to London later this month...YAY!! AND they are putting me up at The Dorchester!! (sssshhh...don't tell them they made a mistake. )

I won't have a lot of free time while I am there, but what little I do have, I will use to see as much as I can of the city.

Here's my question: I've been tasked with bringing back a Tottenham Hotspur football jersey. Is Lillywhites where I should go to get said item?

in advance!

I would have thought so. Alternatively you could get a bus or train to White Hart Lane and get one from Spurs FC's official store.

Very true!! And thank you so much for the link. However, since I am such a lazy scurve, I was hoping to find someplace closer to the hotel. I am all about the hassle factor.

There are a ton of places on Oxford Street that would have them. I've gotten a few football jerseys there... even though I feel weird for paying for something with corporate logos all over it! They should pay US to wear them!

London is a blast, but fucking expensive as hell.

Bruise, you are torturing me with those pics!! But thank you.

I love Scotland, what little I've seen of it. When I first stepped foot in Scotland, I felt...at home.

Don't listen to all those posters trying to draw you away. London is where it's at! With cool places and cool people (and me wandering around with my camera at lunch time)!
