It appears that I'm going to get an opportunity to go to London and Liverpool sometime this spring (late March, early April timeframe). I'm looking for sites to see, or events to take in, hopefully C&V related, while there. If anyone has insights they'd be willing to share, I would be very much greatful to hear them. (Thanks for sharing, in advance...)

If you're a big fan of the book Watership Down, here's a 17+ mile bike route around the areas detailed in the book. Sadly, I didn't find any bike rentals available in the area...
