- You should skip the cheesy tours and take them Mudlarking in the Thames -- (link) - decline Jul 10, 10:03 1
  - I do want to skip the cheesy tours. I think mudlarking would be fun but I bet it (literally) stinks. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 10, 10:06
- Jack the Ripper's probably the most compact from that list i'm guessing. "Westminster" would be the area I'd plan on seeing by foot - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 10:03
