Went there a short time ago and the 'bouncer' who sits next to the entrance told us it was full :-(

yeah its pretty small perhaps cant fit more than 30 individuals in it at most - you really need to do it early on morning or midweek evenings as its not so busy.

or simply go with me, and everybody knows you and you're awesome.

The best thing to do in London is to sit in the park at a summer weekend with some cronies with a few drinks. though everybody knows that this is awesome. Luckily we have ample park space for everyone.

drinks read as own-brand White wine, directly from the bottle.

I would recommend buying the Sainsbury White Dry, the medium is very fruity.

Between 3am and 4am (usually, weather conditions permitting), the London Eye is put in to a self-cleaning sequence and rotates at around 6RPM. That doesn't sound like a lot, except that's one revolution every 10 seconds! It gets all the rain, dust, filth etc off, all the mud and so on ends up in the thames.

They don't permit you to ride it in this time, except slipping the cleaners (who aren't the normal ride operators) £20 will get you on one of the pods.

It's a hell of a rush although tbh only a matter of time until somebody gets hurt then they stop this.

Oh man. How do you go about approaching these cleaners?

Wait, I've just read your additional comments. So disappointed.

For me, one of the principal highlights of my weekend is going to a hectic main line station (Victoria, Euston, King's Cross etc.) and lining up to obtain a travel card. It literally kills HOURS. And the best thing is, as you get to the front of the line, you don't have to purchase a travel card! (You could just say, stupid me, I already have an Oyster card! and then you can abandon the line and join it again. cast iron fun for eight plus hours and all for free. (Don't forget to grab a gratis Tube plan as a souvenir)

If I arrive at six o'clock on a Saturday late afternoon in to Euston, is this a stupid, daft time to purchase an Oyster card?

I'm arriving approximately then, and I'll be in London for four days (Saturday evening, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday morning).

What is my best choice in terms of price / convenience for paying for the tube?

If you hail a black taxi at Trafalgar Square and demand to be taken to Fleet Street, the driver is obliged to let you get off without charging you if you cry bedrifan at the start of the journey. This is a due to a little-known rule dating back to the 17th century that sought to tackle to predicament of sheep being driven down the Strand and interfering with traffic. It is rather nebulous but all the taxi drivers know about it and will oblige.

Hunterian museum is the best museum that no one knows about. Best to go there with no looking it up to begin with and let the contents be a surprise.

A hundred times this.

A box works, but I was referencing what /u/waveygraveyplay in fact did on Sunday.
