But I digress, 'tis but a simple case of tomfoolery from my part. Do not rage thee at me or deduct my precious collection of website approval points - I do not have a limitless supply at my disposal.

Gonna be in Epsom (Surrey, 25km south-west of London) for most of the next 8 months.

In general, how big is the chance of enough snow (10-15cm) to do some urban in London? Little, huh? :(

I live in the paradise that is Camberwell.

It seems there is no one from North London? I lived in Archway last year, and it was super easy to get to Hemel from there. It's going to be a bit trickier from Southwark.

Where do you go to school in the US? I'm in the process of apply to US grad schools for PhD, so any info would be helpful.

Also, I have noticed those very rails. There's that mad DFD on the way into Vauxhall station, and a 50 metre down rail on the way to the Piccadilly line at Holborn station, and a huge flat bar in Pimlico. It's literally the first thing I notice in tube stations.

i go to university of vermont, undergraduate, but not really an international student, right when i graduated highschool my dad got a job in weybridge so we moved. so im in the us for school and theyre across the pond. so i dont really think i could help with the whole international application thing.sorry!

coming into waterloo/vauxhall/clapham junction theres so many options, minus the fact that last year the 2 centimeters we got was considered a blizzard lol

i'm studying at the university here for 3 months. What are the things i absolutely need to do in this area, while i am here? I know few people and nothing about the area, so any advice will be rewarded with the karmaz.

I live in London too. Where are you staying? Can make a pretty big difference on what to do. Getting to, and more importantly back from some places can be a real mission (especially after a night out).

What type of things are you into (music, clubbing, sports, etc...). Pretty much anything you can imagine doing in city you can do in London so drop some more details and we'll probably be able to help out more.

in right near berrylands station, for whatever thats worth.

im mostly just looking for great pubs that shouldn't be missed, or any cool little shops that might not be as publicised as some of the other bigger place.

im here to study history, which is mostly just a cover for the fact that im actually a lifelong arsenal fan who's come to see them play.

well since youre there for history, go to hampton court palace! its pretty cool, ( im a history major) as for shops i guess it depends on what youre looking for for london: Covent garden, Camden Locks or kensington high street, and if youre at hampton court palace go to bridge street (you'll see it from the hampton court station) and theres a really cool junk/antique shop called hampton court emporium, check that out, youll never know what youll find.
