Been in Northern England since the 8th. Heading down to London for a couple days before we fly home. Any must do things besides the obvious tourist traps?

If I were me I would grab early lunch in a pub followed by a matinee in west end followed by London Dungeon followed by dinner in a world class eatery.

If you were there over the weekend I would catch an EPL match...specifically Tottenham on Saturday.

Should have prefaced that we have a 20 month old in tow

Did a couple of days in London with the family a month ago. Since we were only there a couple of days, and it was the first time most of us had been there we obviously hit all the usual tourist areas.  London Eye was pretty awesome, but expensive. Both of my teenagers enjoyed Piccadilly Circuis too.

If you're anywhere near Old Spitalfields Market there's a shop there called Humble Crumble that does custard crumbles.  They're delicious, but not worth a special trip if you're not nearby

If you're the sort to be moved by memorials to fallen soldiers I hear the The American Memorial Chapel at St Paul's is a pretty powerful and humbling visit.   Dedicated to the 20k American soldiers that died on British soil during WWII.  Its one thing to see our own memorials to our fallen, its quite a different thing when another nation recognizes them.

We're already back home. Just did the open top bus tour. That took most of the day and she could sleep easily while we road around

 

with an infant, probably the best choice.   Or the London Eye.

Would have recommended the LONDON PASS, gives tons of discounts or skip-the-line access to tons of museums and exhibits.  We saved a lot of $$ and time using it during the Panthers game.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
