My current cunning plan for the week - other than putting the final touches to my chapter draft, burying myself in Eckhart's sermons (yay!), eating curry at the rather belated bible clerk's† end-of-term dinner, taking the Cubs swimming, and trying to decide if I should organise a Burns' Supper* - involves going down to London for the Byzantium exhibition. However, while I confidently expect it to be fascinating, it won't take all day.
I rather feel I fail at getting to grips with London, though - there's so much to do that I always end up just falling back on the BM or the British Library Treasures exhibition. While those are among the greatest things in the world, I can't help feeling there's more to London than that.
So: please suggest things I ought to do in London.
† My college's term for the students who volunteer around the chapel, and also say grace every night in hall.
* The problem being, it would have to be on the Saturday night, and while every Burns' Supper I have organised has been a total blast, it has always ensured the worst hangover of the year, and there are reasons why I particularly don't want an epic hangover next Sunday morning.
