Seriously, check region free games, BoF3 is region free.

The other 2 are not region free, i wanted both. Altered beast is a mediocre third person action that i like and EDF2 is a very good edf but it was ported to the vita but id pick up a cheap copy as a souvenir if i was in the area.

Been there twice. Avoid any touristy spots at all costs. Touristy spots are overcrowded nightmares.

Other than that, it's just another big city. Maybe check out pubs or something, since they are a little cooler than bars here in freedomland, even if you don't drink.

There was some castle in the city I went to that was pretty neat and had medieval armor on display, but I'm sure it's a tourist trap nightmare nowadays.

Be aware that they don't like Americans, so I would just tell everyone you're Canadian. It's probably the least desirable/meh city experience I've ever had in Europe, Dublin was so much cooler and laid back.

Ill check out the pubs even though Im not big in drinking. Ill try to hide the fact that Im an American but Ive been told that I have a deep American accent by people from Europe already lol.

prepare to have your mind blown

also there's an NFL game over here on sunday so you'll be surrounded by fellow americans

just a heads up
- it's probs gonna rain constantly for the next few days, dress appropriately
- london is an expensive city
- on escalators, stand on the right and walk on the left. nothing pisses off londoners more than tourists getting in the way on the underground. oh and get an oyster card no matter what

The escalator thing is the opposite to driving. That was confusing the first time.

Ill give it a few more days but I generally dont understand the people Ive met who say going to England was a life changing experience for them and that they would live over here if they could. I wont be coming back to America as a changed man like they implied.

My brother who has lived over here for almost a decade has said he would come back to the States in a heartbeat if he could and I see why.

At least the girls are cute compared to the average American woman. That and its crazy how Ive not seen too many overweight or obese people compared to the States. I actually really like how biking over here is more of a thing. Thats awesome.

Although the folks here can get really pissy if you accidentally bump into them, they dont seem to bother you that much. In the States, I would have encountered far more annoying people throughout the day by now.

There's a TKTS both on Leicester Square IIRC where you can get tickets on the day. Keep in mind that tickets are cheaper and easier to get on off days
