Isn't he skiving again next week?
have a look at timeout london online , they have a list of free and cheap things to do in london.
Sorry to be away again - damn timing never seems to work out...
Anyway - if you can make it to London then I'd recommend the opportunity to see the ancient and the modern in the space of a few hours... Get to Euston and walk down the road to the British Museum. You'll be faced with some of the most ancient objects left in the world, go and stand next to the rosetta stone or wander through the Elgin Marbles. Look at tribal masks or the armour of a japanese warrior.
Then after seeing that just head towards the river and get yourself to the Tate Modern. From the obelsiks of empire to the cutting edge of art.
It's an incredible moment to wander from those cold, hard, solid objects of history into the kleidescope of colours, thought, expression and revolution that the Tate can show. From the art you'll hate to the art you'll love it's an incredible experience.
If nothing else stand in front of the Rosetta stone and think - this is what allowed us to understand each other - then stand in the Rothko gallery and look at his paintings and consider - we really don't need words to understand each other.
Although do check out Picasso's 'Woman Weeping' if it is still there - I'd love to know what you'd think of it as it's my favourite painting of all time.
And of course, in that wonderful, inclusive and increasingly rare British way of doing things - both museums are totally free.
