Steel a look at MAGNA - it's a blast (furnace)!!

by cr01 cr01 is a Lead on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 22 '02
Pros: Good interactive activities for children. Excellent adventure playground. The worlds first preditor and prey robots!
Cons: Very dark, poorly signposted. Not enough historic information for me.

South Yorkshire in England is perhaps one of the most difficult areas of the country that a British tourist office has to sell.

The Sheffield area in particular, was for many years the powerhouse of British heavy industry- coal and iron...

Shakespeare's Globe--go see whatever is playing there

by AlexG Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 26 '00
Pros: Truly unique London experience, beautiful theater, the best place to see a Shakespeare's play, good prices
Cons: Only open during summer months
If you are looking for a truly special cultural experience in London, I can’t think of a better place than a Globe Theater. It’s not surprising that the photo that Epinions chose for the “Cultural Events” section (in the upper left corner) is a picture...

Golf and Dog Collars at Leeds Castle

by jcare Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 04 '00
Pros: Beautiful Scenary, Historical Site, Many Dog Collars
Cons: none
Only in England can you play a round of golf around a castle, and then visit the largest collection of dog collars in the world. However, that’s exactly what is offered at Leeds Castle. Close your eyes, imagine King Arthur, the Knights of the...

Gordon's Wine Bar: One of the World's Great Saloons

by buffoonery Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 03 '00
Pros: One of the world's great drinking emporia, NO TOURISTS
Cons: None--how could there be?
Back in 1989 a London pal of mine introduced me to Gordon's Wine Bar, one of the world's great drinking establishments. I was last there in 1997 so I am assuming and hoping it is still around. Gordon's is located on Villers Street, which connects ...

Plymouth, the pilgrims are gone and the shops are open.

by pablo_1982 , Apr 15 '01
Pros: Just a great place
Cons: Those early closing times!
Firstly I must start this epinion with an apology. I have not written an epinion for some time, and this new format quite frankly baffles me, and thus I am sorry if this is posted in the wrong section etc.

The city of Plymouth is perhaps one...

Is That A Picture of...You?

by abedelia , Jun 07 '00
Pros: Great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the theater district
Cons: Many featured portraits are of famous Americans, and that was not really the point of my visit to London
If you are going to London for more than a brief visit, you might want to stop off at The National Portrait Gallery. My family stopped off at The Gallery because we had already eaten lunch and were waiting for the 5:00 showing of "ART" to...

London Nightlife - popular culture at the cutting edge.

by -catherine- , Jan 20 '00
Pros: lager, lager, lager, shouting
Cons: just watch that money go down the kaze

London has often been accused of being impersonal and unfriendly and to some extent this is true, but, like anywhere, it's entirely dependent on where you go and who you know there.
Before I start, I would say, as a complete xenophobe, that an...

Speaker's Corner, free speech at the right price.

by Deweychetham , May 28 '00
Pros: Surprising, unpredictable entertainment -- a hoot!
Cons: A lot of boring speakers -- standing around waiting.
Every time I visit London, I set aside Sunday afternoons for Speakers' Corner. I've found it's the most entertaining free event in London. Speakers' Corner is in the north-east corner of Hyde Park, near the Marble Arch landmark (TUBE: Marble Arch.)...

Millenium Dome = Lines

by jaz , Jun 27 '00
Pros: Fun place to spend the day
Cons: Not Disney
Looking for a little escape from the hubbub of central London but don’t want to go too far? Hop on the tubes (subway) to the North Greenwich stop and walk a couple hundred meters to the entrance to the Millennium Dome, the huge 1,000,000,000£ (billion)...

Leicester Square--1/2 price theater tickets

by AlexG Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 10 '00
Pros: 1/2 price tickets
Cons: Not the best seats, only same-day performance tickets
When it comes to buying tickets for theater shows, Leicester Square in London is similar to Times Square in New York. Each square has a booth that sells 1/2 price tickets on the day of the performance. There is a 2 pounds service charge, and it’s CASH...

The Mysteries: The Nativity

by JimmyBigHead , Jan 05 '00
Pros: Very relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Standing for almost 3 hours
This play was one that I was very nervous about seeing. I wasn’t sure about what I was going to see. In all truth, I haven’t done any religious studies for about 10 or more years, so going to see a play about the Bible, specifically the Old Testament,...

Les Mis - UNMISSABLE

by flashpointz , Aug 05 '00
Pros: moving, brilliant songs, great show
Cons: rather downbeat, difficult to get tickets sometimes
This was the first musical I've seen for years and it left a truly lasting impression. Even now, when I hear some of the songs from it, it can move me almost to tears.
Prepare to be moved - it is an incredible experience, but definitely not...

De La Guarda at the Roundhouse Theater

by JimmyBigHead , Jan 05 '00
Pros: Exciting new form of performance art/theatre
Cons: Standing and the risk of getting wet
De La Guarda has to be the most original experience of my life. I’ve never seen something of this style called theatre before. I walked in about 5 minutes before the show started. Viewing the tarp in the middle, I felt like I was waiting outside the...

Antigone at the Old Vic

by JimmyBigHead , Jan 05 '00
Pros: Not much
Cons: Everything, except a couple of actors
This truly was a Greek Tragedy. If Sophocles found out about this production, he'd come back from the dead and smack the director. This seemed like an experiment that Declan Donnellan thought up one night on various stimulants and hallucinogens. There...

impressive restoration job

by Vicki , Nov 01 '99
Pros: beautiful theatre, and quite authentic
Cons: none
The restored Globe Theatre is impressive, and claims to be almost the same as the original. The only noticeable differences are that they've glassed in the windows along the Thames--the guides on the tour boats were distracting the theatre audiences--and...
