If you'd like to say you've visited a London palace for free, or simply fancy some peace and quiet, then a trip to
Fulham Palace may be for you.
Fulham Palace was the Bishops of London country home from the 11th century. It was never a royal palace but Bishops were treated regally.
The Palace is now a museum documenting the site's history, with a contemporary gallery of palace-inspired art.

I wasn't a big fan of the
Not for Tourists London 2009 guidebook but I tried to review
Not for Tourists London 2010 with an open mind.
Maybe it was because I was reviewing Marsha Moore's
24 Hour London at the same time, or maybe it's just not a good book but it didn't win me over. In fact it just annoyed me further with it's over emphasis on 'neighborhoods' yet with little on what's there (except another Starbucks).

Game of Graces is a small women's fashion boutique at Gabriel's Wharf along the popular
South Bank in London. The clothes and accessories are well-priced and are extremely wearable.
From
3 to 17 January 2010 everything in store and online is up to 70% cheaper than in 2009.I'm going to go there at the weekend so save some goodies for me!
I plan to visit
j-me as I love their quirky designs, and Annie Sherburne's
ECO Haberdashery in the OXO Tower too. Anyone been there?

Dinosaurs Unleashed has been specially created for Parklife Oxford Street and includes 24 animatronic, 'life size' dinosaurs in a Jurassic forest. Yes, on Oxford Street in London!
It arrives on 28 January and also includes an aquarium. It seems a bit mad for London's busiest shopping street, doesn't it?
