Oh, Cool!

As you know, I am leaving for London on Saturday. I just checked the hotel's website and found that the hotel is very close to some nifty places:

Marble Arch 1 MI
Oxford Street 1 MI
Hyde Park 1 MI
Madame Tussaud's 1 MI
Planetarium 1 MI
Kensington Gardens 0.6 MI
Portobello Market 1 MI
London Eye 1.5 MI
Piccadilly Circus 1.5 MI
Buckingham Palace 1 MI
Tower of London 5 MI

I purchased a very small digital Olympus Camedia for the trip - don't want to lug around the Canon Rebel SLR Digital - and this little camera will fit in my small purse - so I hope it takes decent pictures - I have noticed that because there is no view-finder, I tend to be a little shaky when I take a picture - it's one of those with the display on the back - has anyone figured out a way to steady cameras like this?

If any of our English blogfriends are close to London, let me know and we can have a drink at a pub!

I do wish we could have found a ticket cheap enough to bring John along. But I will be working for 3 of the days - and I'll have 2 days and evenings to sitesee.

Does anyone have any suggestions for reasonably priced eating places in that part of town?
