Heading back to London on June 2, 2005 and will return to Philadelphia on June 11, 2005.

I have a few different places I am going to see this time round...Leeds Castle, HMS Belfast, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, and Wiltshire Cathaderal.

I know Leeds Castle is listed as the "most beautiful castle in the world". However, I am curious as to the other places I have listed. Has anyone been any of those? And if so, how do you think they were? Any and all comments welcomed.

Still planning a few more things, but entirely up in the air.

Oh, I've been to Leeds Castle (in Maidstone/Kent). Nice place and also (more importantly to me) disabled friendly as well. Hope you enjoy it!

I think by Wiltshire Cathedral you must mean Salisbury which is truly magnificent! Pics here

Okay 10 weeks to the day until my flight leaves for London! Yippee!!

Can anyone recommend a decent pub, that has pub quizzes in the Victoria area? In October, we had to go away from London to find a decent pub quiz. I would like to stay within the Victoria area, especially after drinking...not to anxious to have another go on the Tube while under the influence, if you know what I mean.

Some would say that is the only way to travel the Tube!

Stonehenge is near to Salisbury - don't forget to go there if you haven't already. (and perhaps a day trip to Bath)

You mean your former Fun Trivia friend doesn't know of any pubs in the area that do quiz nights?

There are a few people over in AskFT who play in the big leagues in London, but they should be able to direct you to somewhere not so 'competitive' in the area that you are looking for.

Good luck! I believe some of them have some good cash prizes.
