Any phrases I should know? TW just taught me to say "bob over."
Or if I speak with my nasal midwestern twang, will all the locals say that I "make our language sound so charming."

If you book your London trip to coincide with the Williams concert on October 26th, you might run into a lot of fellow film music fans, including yours truly.
Well I HAVEN’T got tickets for the Williams concert but I’m tempted to be down there for the social aspects.
You have been warned...
Will you bring your light-saber-like wit?

Is there anything "weird plus interesting" in London?
Like a museum of doorknobs, The World's Largest Goldfish, or some-such?

If you're on a budget, there are plenty of museums, parks, and sites you can enjoy for free. Recommended.
Thanks, Tango. I'll probably spend nearly all my time in the city proper, so it's good to hear I can stay on a budget while getting to see things.

But pie shops will be better for you. Honest.
Bob over to Greenwich and see The Cutty Sark, there's also a nice park, Greenwich Observatory, and a great pie and mash place there called Goddards of Greenwich.
"Pie shop" sounds like white flour and fat surrounding a meat or sugary fruit filling. I can't do that.
(I'm hoping I can find a buffet, like what I see at Whole Foods supermarkets here. I can get more vegetables that way. Also, I'll be looking for Thai restaurants since they often have brown rice, and Mediterranean restaurants have more grains and vegetables.)

I used to like eating here and it has a great interior: http://www.sarastro-restaurant.com/menus.php
Uh-oh. They take reservations.
I think that means that me and my rain-soaked clothes (I hear it rains in England regularly) and tiny budget might not fit in.

Cheap lunch!
My friend just back from England says there's a whole foods on High Street in Kensington, so I guess there'll be others in town. Her sister had lots of eating issues and said she was ok with stuff.

Do you really want to go to London?
If you are going to come to england stay in somewhere nice like Bath or at the south coast. London is such a shithole now,
Some shithole! London runs the UK! Kid.
Stay off Boris bikes quicker walking them bikes weigh a ton, walk, hop a tube.
Done did them bikes in Boston and they were fine by me.
In the tube all I'll get to see is sweaty Londoners.

So, nothing weird? Brits are all prim and proper, no messin' about with the likes of The Above?

I recommend San Francisco.
Plenty of cheap lodgings.

It's more of a preservation society than anything. The north has the largest population of sharpeners in the UK.
