Unfortunately you came over at a time of extremely heavy showers here -
they're talking about breaking the 1947 record, which it seems is saying
something.

Normally I wouldn't dream of taking an umbrella to London, since in the
city centre you're always within 100 yards of somewhere nice to go - and
if not, there's always the tube to take you somewhere else! The one time
I was caught in the rain in London I spent half an hour in St Paul's
Cathedral, but the rest of the day was hot and dry.

The Ice Wharf in Camden Town serves Fruli, that Belgian strawberry beer.
One idea for eating cheaply is to go to Camden Market where there are
all sorts of stalls selling all sorts of food from all parts of the
world.
