Nah.. UK has changed.. Shops open all hours, Sunday trading restricts opening from 10.00 - 16.00. However, the finanical district is a ghost town over the weekend.

Service industry is improving but can't beat what you guys have.. London is always a great place to visit though.

It's a great place to visit, lots and lots to see and do. You can easily spend a week or two in London and not cover the same areas. And, as the UK is very London centric, it's easy to get to places outside of London or even Europe via the Eurostar..

We live about 25min train journey outside of London, commute into London every day and still head into London over a weekend to have a wonder or shop..

Not today, but this Sunday gone, learned Alien films have exhausted the Alien theme.. IMHO I was liking the philosophicall theme in some of the prequals but Romulus did nothing for me.. Dissappointed... Hey ho.. New Star Wars is out next year..
