  1. Hi Guys

    Stupid question from someone who knows nothing about football and hasn't visited the sights in London since the 70's :frown:

    I have a Japanese client who is visiting London in August 14/18

    He is going to visit Chelsea Stadium and Warner Bros to visit Harry Potter as he has a young son

    Can anyone recommend anything else maybe slightly off the tourist trap route?

    Cheers

  6. In all seriousness London is a great place for Tourists. If you get a chance pop into WHSmiths and pick up a Lonely Planet guide or something similar. There is an awful lot of great stuff to do in the city. I would advise against Chinatown for obvious reasons. Gabriel's Wharf on the South bank is a great place to grab some lunch and you get easily walk to the London Eye, London Aquarium, Tate Modern, St Pauls etc

    Gabriels Wharf | Riverside shopping eating and drinking | Coin Street

  12. Might seem a little obvious but Wembley might be on his list. After all, we invented the game, it's the spiritual home of football, drenched in history (well it used to be) they do tours (I think) blah blah blah

  13. Then after Wembley get him to pop in to Hilton next door. We got plenty of Chinese/Japanese guests that we have no idea what they are on about so one more will not hurt ;)

  14. As he's not from these shores, he must be a Man U fan. Why would he want to visit Stanford Bridge?

  16. Sherlock Holmes Museum, Baker Street or how about Jack the Ripper's manor at the end of the Commercial Road Bishopsgate/Aldgate. :eek:

    If they are real football fans then The Boleyn Ground, Upton Park. :cool: COYI.
