In about a week, my son leaves for London. It’s not his first time in England. After his junior year in high school, he did the University of Dallas Thomas More in London study program. He liked it very much except for the fact it was, you know…a course, and he had to write papers and such. (But it paid off – add those 3 credits to the many he got during high school, and he could begin college as a Sophomore, with all of his core requirements completed.)

So this isn’t a totally new experience, and he has quite a bit of travelling under his belt in  general  – he’s been to Paris, India and Lima. But this will be the first time he’s stayed anywhere for a long period, really had a chance to immerse imself in the place, and such. He’s very flexible – he might leave London and go elsewhere for the rest of the month, or he might not. Day trips are on the menu.

But…suggestions for a 21-year old in London? Essential things he needs to know re/transportation and such? Quirky things for him to see and do?
