Hi gang,

 

Im currently in London for business and will be here for a few more days. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendation on where to go.... any places that I MUST visit while in London?

 

The city is absolutely beautiful and the women... wow! lol

 

Thanks!

I'm a sucker for just walking around in London - I particularly like Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Hyde Park, Pall Mall and Trafalgar Square. These are all in the same sort of area. Maybe I am just a tourist, but these are beautiful areas of the city. Enjoy!

 

Go visit the Bank of England - just to say you have been there - Lloyds building too.

Depends what you are into really. If you are just site seeing, then all the things that mister ed said are great.

 

If you wish to do shopping there is always those famous stores, Harrods, Selfridges, Bond Street and Oxford Street. If you are here for the weekend then maybe go to Portabello Market in Nottinghill Gate for antiques.

 

Food wise, Wolseley in Green Park does a very very good breakfast, also Thursday to Saturday, Borogh Market at London Bridge is always a nice place to visit.

 

Nigthlife, if you like the posh end of things, Chinawhite and Funky Budda are nice. Otherwise Hoxton is the new trendy place for young art students (very nice~~), one of the club, can't remember the name, has a swimming pool inside.

Thanks gilligullu,

 

I definitely want to check out Bond Street. I also heard about Funky Budda... will check that out if I have the time.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Only here for another 2 days so hopefully get to visit a few of the places mentioned above.

With just a couple of days its pretty hard especially if you have to fit business in too!

 

I am in the country at the moment enjoying fresh air and sunshine (well until it all went to sh*t today). A shame you are only there for another couple of days, otherwise I would have happily taken you to some den of iniquity :) Gilligullu's suggestions are good (as are Mr Ed's). London really does have a lot going for it.

Thanks Blowfish. I will definitely try to meet some of you located in UK in the future. This trip was rather short.... was supposed to stop by the US as well but can no longer do so either.

 

Weather was definitely lovely up until today. Cant even seem to find a store that sells umbrellas :(

 

Been a good trip overall though. Great city... maybe a bit expensive though.

Sorry if I'm wrong but aren't you from Japan?! Last time I was there (albeit 10 years ago) I was glad to get back to London! Or maybe it was Hong Kong but sure I found Tokyo expensive!

Things have changed now... almost everything in London is double that of Tokyo from a bottle of water, the tube, clothing, restaurants, rent, etc...

 

Residents get billed weekly for rent here? I keep seeing rental property and housing priced by the week.

Really, things have changed a lot then although I could be thinking of Hong Kong more.

Not sure? Last time I rented it was monthly but that was a while back.

No they bill monthly but the numbers are just too big so they quote weekly and hope you can't do the maths.

I recently had a friend who's moved back with her husband back to Japan from London. Was told you pay weekly rent, not monthly because it's so damn expensive. Anyway, hope you're having fun James.

London was a blast. I just got back to Tokyo but I absolutely loved the city. Especially the drinking culture there is a lot of fun. Met some nice ppl there as well.

 

Definitely a place I would love to go back sometime... preferably more than 4 days next time.

The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.
