The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi warned Friday that foreign militants, possibly al-Qaida members, may be planning to carry out bombings in India's two major cities in the coming days.

In an e-mail sent to American citizens living in India, the embassy said New Delhi, the capital, and Bombay, the country's financial and entertainment hub, were the likely targets, and the attacks were believed to be planned for either before or on India's Independence Day, August 15.

Not a great weekend to be in London and slightly dazed - drizzly and rather depressing everywhere.

I have some American friends over at the moment (ferrying them out to Heathrow this evening) but if you're bored on Sunday and want to meet up for a beer just post here and I'm sure you'll find some takers.

If my American friends are good judges then the best tourist thing to do (aside from the museums - and the National Portrait Gallery is free and bang in the middle of the tourist area between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square) is The Tower of London. Sounds like this was the highlight of their whole trip which included 2 weeks in Paris.

Yep, I'm in town on Sunday with my wife so I'm happy to meet up for a nice glass of wine or two.

The Tate modern http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/ on the south bank across the footbridge from St Paul's is worth a look if you like modern art, that's free too.

A cool Geeky place to go is the Science Museum http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/ in Kensington which is one of the best in the world. With the National History museum http://www.nhm.ac.uk/ next door you'll easily have a good time and no doubt learn a few things ... and it's all free!

The first thing to do is the London Eye http://www.londoneye.com/. If anything it gives you your bearings in a beautiful and fun way.

I second the science museum! A fantastic place to spend an afternoon. (especially when the weathers bad like today!) I hope you have a fantastic time here in London Charles.

Thanks. I will definitely go to the Tower of London. Stay tuned for meet-and-greet time/place.

You might also wanna take one of those tour boates on, just by the london eye. You get to know alot of cool things.

    I've been to Westminster Cathedral, British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Shakespeare's Old House and Hyde Park, but unfortunately I didn't manage to see the London Tower:(
    Anyway, safe journey! Charles!
