how should I occupy myself for two weeks in the UK?

[dbskyler]

I'm struggling with RL a little bit right now, so I am turning to more fun things to think about. And what could be more fun to think about than my upcoming trip to London to see David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing?

I'm thinking that I'll spend around two weeks in the UK total. Obviously a few days of that will be London. This may also be the trip where I finally make it to Penzance! And yes, I freely admit that 95% of my desire to go to Penzance is the G&S operetta, but I've heard that Cornwall is nice to visit, too. Besides, on my last trip I took a photo of the "Ealing" sign when we passed through the station on the train, and the person I was traveling with asked me what I was photographing, and I had to lie and say I saw something out the window. But of course, it was really about documenting that I had been through Ealing, setting of Sarah Jane Adventures! Maybe I should try for South Croydon this time? ; )

So, flist! I'm in the market for suggestions. Where else should I go? What should I do? What should I not miss? I will be there in early July, in case that makes a difference for your suggestions.

Well evidently there's that new Doctor Who Experience thingie opening in London so you could always try that... I hear it has THREE TARDIS control rooms in it (Five's, Nine/Ten's and Eleven's. Impressive)! Plus there's the new footage with Matt Smith and the like.

Terms of where I reside there's Nottinghamshire - they've stupidly closed the Tales of Robin Hood exhibit some years back but there's still the Castle, Ye Old Trip to Jeruseulem (oldest drinking place still standing in England), and many an old house and abbey if you like that sort of thing.

Hopefully the Doctor Who Experience will still be going on by the time I get there. It does look like it's worth a visit. I'd especially love a close-up view of Eleven's TARDIS. : )

Thanks for the Nottinghamshire suggestion -- I'll look into it!
