What is the best not-in-tourist-books thing to do or see in London?

Answer 1

This is pretty specific, but if you have time try to find Hotel Chocolat. You may want to look up directions before searching all over London for it. When I was there with a group of friends we happened upon this little chocolate shop and it was just heavenly. We all bought something there. If you go in to explore you'll probably be offered free samples. If you try the free samples you will definately by chocolate there.

Most of the activities in London are pretty touristy. If you have a chance to venture out to Stonehenge or Bath, those are great for the historical value. And if you find yourself in Bath, there is this great shop with the best cornish pasties ever! Shouldn't be hard to find, just ask someone passing by...
