Im going to Uk for 3-4 weeks. Im going a elective course.
I’ll live nearby Londen.
I’d like to buy some salwar suits. Can anyone suggest any place where I can buy it?
And which places are worth visiting in Londen?

Re: Londen

hmmmmm dunno bout no salwar shuits but can tell you places to check out, depending on what types of things you are into.

i would have said go check out ministry of sound but i doubt that is your cup o joe. so tell us about what interests you and ppl can tell you where to go.

Re: Londen

If you are looking for more Indian-ish outfits then I would suggest Southall, I usually dont like to shop there because its over crowded and I never found anything good for myself apart from choorian (they are so cheap) :cb:

For pakistani style Green street and Ilford have some qualility shops

I'm from Belgium. And what are the fares for the transport in Uk?
Any more suggestions for places to visit are welcome

buying a travel card will be cheaper i think, you can use it on bus and on tube…

Re: Londen

'nearby London' could be anywhere! If you could say specifically which area, it would be easier to suggest places.

I know for a fact that Southall and Green Street are a killer to get to via public transport if you are too far out.

And what is best for the train?
Because I’ll have to go from Londen to Brighton. How much will that cost?

In Guildford

Re: Londen

Days travel card is about £6.10 off peak(peak time is abt £8-9)

Check out ilford lane i went there a couple of days ago, to a shop called Gul Mohar's and wow they have some amazing stuff, green st and southall have the usuall stuff, this shop is like a Gem check it out....

12

As in Surrey?

I reckon you'l be closer to Southall. I shall double check!

interesting historical facts
13

Around 20 pounds...

There's a pebble beach in Brighton...if you want a sandy beach you'll have to go Southampton.

Guildford Castle and a museum near it...
The church near Surrey University (can't recall the name)

And lots of beautiful countryside....

There's two shopping mall ...and third is self contained...

In Cobham (near guildford) there's a seventeenth century's park called Painshill Park.

There's another town called Woking near guildford with Britain's first custom built mosque and plenty of halal food places to eat and a small but complete shopping centre....

14

It's one hour's drive....

15

Aye, I know, but its closer than Green Street!

I'v never been to Surrey but I doubt she will find much of a choice in terms of buying Shalwar Kameez.

Re: Londen

Orpheus, can you correct the thread title pleej. :bummer:

17

i was talking about southall....one hour drive from guildford to southall.....

....in woking only halal food but no pakistani clothing shops....[well, there's one but it's not worth it].

18

I know you were, and I was talking about the comparison between getting to Southall or Green Street from Guilford. Southall is still closer to where she will be staying even though it is an hour's drive away.

Re: Londen

^ oh yeah much closer ... it takes about 3 and half hours to get to East London my be quicker if no traffic.
