When you?re tired of London, you?re tired of life?.!

Exhausted the possiblities...? Really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Tired of life - you have met my kids! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I home exed my kids in London and there are very few museums, events etc that I haven't been to at least 10 times with them. We used to live in the Royal Society! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Also, when one is as intelligent as I, one finds it very difficult to find intellectual stimulation. But thankfully I seem to have found it on here!

Time for some self-indulgent pampering instead then? (With a good book to hand obviously…..)

Wow! Makes me almost glad to be a simpleton from the provinces, who's only lived in London for one 6 month stretch. I can't imagine running out of inspiring things to do in London - I didn't even manage to exhaust my then local Tate Britain. Ever changing exhibitions in a huge array of galleries, and lunchtime and evening concerts - loads of them for free in all sorts of churches, halls & foyers, Covent Garden to sit in and encourage the street performers, a river to watch, and all those specialist shops. Not to mention matinees of theatre & operas performances. But if you've seen them all, maybe you've still got some friends in London that you could catch up with for some nice lunches.

I love London now that I go there as a tourist rather than live there. I grew to hate it then but see it with different eyes now...

Makes me grateful to be a simpleton full stop

I could probably spend 9-5 every Saturday in the British Museum and not get round to getting bored with it. But it is very much horses-for-courses - we had a work meeting/event/celebration at the Tower of London a few years ago, and one of my colleagues was astonished I'd bothered to go, given that I'd last been to the Tower a year prior to said meeting. He's a visit-once-that's-done person, whereas if I enjoy something I can just read/play/visit/etc it again and again and again and again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
