When are you planning on coming over!
There are all sorts of offers avaiable transport wise. Heading north from London to Bradford you could and maybe should take in Oxford, Stratford and if you like castles Warwick!
Stonehenge is great but if you're  heading that way head for Avebury too! It even has a pub in the middle of the circle!
Whose binkin shout is it?

And if you're coming this way and going to Avebury don't forget Silbury Hill, West Kennet and The Devils Den.
Oh, and Wood Henge which is on the way from Stonehenge to Avebury and it's environs.

Whooosshhhh !!!

Is the Rough Trade that shop where you could find some real rarities? I think I visited that shop a long time ago too.
(I remember they had Charlie Harper's solo album on vinyl with 30 pounds.) Still wishing I'd spend my few quids there.

You could certainly find lots of rarities in the old days, and I've spend many a hard-earned pound there over the years; not sure about now cos living at the other end of town I very rarely go to Portobello Road to be honest, but I suspect it still does have a few rarities. On Saturdays it used to have a second-hand record stall (belonging, or at least connected to it) on the pavement just in front of its door.
