Take the Tube wherever.

Get a Bear! You want a bear. You know you do.

Impressive and creepy.

As see in Nifty Teddy and Mr. What

Go on, bug some M.P.'s. We know where the Embassy is, right?

Mock a Beefeater. Or try to get them to blink.

Sherlock Holmes and his chronicler, Dr. Watson, lived here.

Are you sure they're not real?

Hey, that one portrait... is that moving?

Pretty! Go feed the British ducks!

Go in, see the pyramid, get lost, bother the curators.

Fall in a canal, or push someone in.

..purrrzzz...

Go to Oxford. Go to Cambridge. Go to Glastonbury or Stonehenge!

Knock yourself out.

Walter led Victor into The Imperial War Museum (http://london.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.00b004) and looked around.

He eyed the signs for the WWII exhibits and pointed instead to one titled, Secret War (http://london.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.1448) "Perfect. Public display of espionage secrets. How can we pass that up?"

"I guess they aren't so secret anymore," Victor observed as they walked through the exhibit. "Did you really use all of these at Hellsing?"

"Rarely," Walter said as he stopped to look at a display of invisible ink and papers written with it. "MI-5 did most of the espionage. Our work is more about disinformation than espionage. When it isn't about hunting vampires, of course."

"Disinformation? You mean, like, blowing up file cabinets or something?"

He leaned forward and squinted at the invisible ink display. "Y'know, I wonder how long it took the scientists to realize that all you reallyneed for this kind of stuff is lemon juice and heat."

"Like convincing people that their entire family was wiped out by a mass murderer or that the population of a town died because of a bombing by the Nazis. Lying, in other words."

He shook his head and stood in front of a video window about the training of spies during WWII. "We didn't do this sort of thing, for instance."

"Oh, so I'm dating a professional liar now? That's good to know." He grinned, though, and patted Walter's shoulder. "So was that your only role in the war? Y'know, lying and protecting?"

Elizabeth headed through the underground station up to the concourse.

She stopped briefly at the Paddington Bear shop, eying up the bears, before realizing that she really didn't want to carry one arond Oxford with her and that she'd be better off stopping there on the way back.

But she did make quick stops at WH Smith (http://www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/Go.asp) and Costa (http://www.costa.co.uk/), picking up a copy of The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/) and a latte and chocolate twist for the train journey.

A few blocks from the Market entrance in Camden, Angela, Marty and Parker found an Indian restaurant that looked promisingly busy. "Is this okay for you guys?"

Walter shrugged off the professional liar comment and shook his head. "Hellsing had a mission to Poland planned before I left. They were waiting on more information. I don't know if Alfred will call me back for it or not."

Parker nodded, inhaling the smell of chicken and saffron. "Mmm, yes, definitely. I almost feel bad about having a good time here, but-- it's not like we can do anything else at this second."

"We've done everything we can do Parker. Plus we have to eat too," Marty says as he stepped up to place his order. "What do you all want to have?"
