Pardon me for being a spoil-sport, but a European vacation is not made
of just London and Paris (for me, anyways).  I agree with whoever said to
stay out of London and see the countryside.  Visit Wales.  See some of
the ruined castles there.  Visit Scotland (I had a great time at the
Glenfiddich distillery).  Spend some time in a small village's pub.  Write
to the tourist board and find out where and when you can attend a local
craft faire (you'll get *much* more interesting gifts that way, and enjoy
live folk music too).  Do it on a Bed & Breakfast tour (but don't eat the
breakfast in England!) -- you get to talk to more of the natives that
way (did you know that the British call their highway patrol cars
"Jam Sandwiches"?).  And mostly, try not to have a fixed schedule (if it's
Tuesday, this must be Belgium...)
