I am planning to take my dad there next year because he has never been to Europe and he is starting to get pretty old. The plan is to fly into London on a Thursday in early May. I am going to try my best to get tickets to the Arsenal game that weekend. The weekend after I am looking to take a Thomas Cook trip to either Liverpool or Man City (this will be last game of the season). We would then leave the Monday after the second weekend, 11 total nights.
Other than a trip to Normandy and doing the normal tourist stuff in London, we don't have any other real plans. Does anyone have recommandations for stuff to do or other mini trips we should take?
What are the best neighborhoods to stay in London?

note: I travelled through Europe in college and we are both married so I won't be going back to Amsterdam.

England is not Europe.


You´ll be staying in a hotel, so the neighborhood is not going to matter, too much.

I normally stay in the Kensington area.

How into history are you and your father?

Btw - definitely go to Anfield. A trip to the Emirates is no different than going to an NFL game.

A father and son trip to a 60 Euro prostitute after smoking some purple indica is a wonderful bonding experience. You must be some kind of weirdo.

Also, rugby tickets are cheaper than soccer ones.
