Hi

It depends on what kind of gun. Ballistic eye-candy can be viewed at Holland+Holland and Purdey in West End.

Regards

Mark


Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible.

You can find William Evans, Boss & Co., Holland & Holland, Purdey and William & Son all within a few blocks of each other in Mayfair.

I think J. Roberts & Son is a little further out from the West End. I haven’t made the trip but have been told it’s worth it.

There are many worse ways to spend a day or two. Enjoy your time in London.

Cheers,

Amsterdam, they speak English and don't look down their nose at you. You could do the French inners city and watch some fireworks and a version of christians vs. muslims. Could be a real entertaining time.

If you go to Amsterdam, stay out of the red light district. Go to the Anne Frank House.

In London, go to the theatre and Harrod's.

While you are there you might get home sick. Try this place.TEXAS EMBASSY CANTINA

Also if you have time, take one of the London Walks tours. The "Jack the Ripper Tour" was great!

That's good! An "embassy" just for Texas, I like it! AND they have a menu for Tequila!!

The Jack the Ripper tour is Great as Rusty stated. Imperial War Museum & HMS Belfast are verry good as well.

1.) British Museum.

Then, in no particular order:

The Jack the Ripper tour.

Imperial War Museum

Westminster Abbey

National Gallery, if you're into art

Harrods-- at least buy a bag with the logo for your wife/SO. Good snob appeal in much of America.
