London for a few days - West of London for a few.
I went to Camden Market about 2004. It was a zoo, but I liked it. That's what makes a horse race. Notting Hill was fun, also.

I understand. I grew up there, so I just avoid the eff out of it.

Cool idea - will add it to the list of possibilities.

I'll second (or third) the Imperial War Museum.
In the UK now with the family, and this was one of the highlights of our time in London, exceeding our expectations.
(Heading north on a train now, which just had a 90-minute delay due to overhead wire problems. Seems like one cannot escape NJ...)
Jamie-- I'll try to come Weds and give you some options and a million restaurants to pick from.
Sounds good - I haven't had too many food recommendations - except for clotted cream on scones. Heading out in June - so still plenty of time to plan. Thanks for all the feedback so far.
I think FJJ means Camden Market. I wouldn't recommend it, it's a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but if I didn't like you, I'd tell you to go - it's an experience like few others.
If you're in Tiverton, you could take a day trip to Paignton and Brixham on the south coast. Both are quaint seaside towns. Paignton has a little zoo and Brixham has a replica of Sir Francis Drake's galleon Golden Hind, which was his flagship as he circumnavigated the world. It's a really cool find in a tiny town.
