My friend is very grateful for your suggestions, Linda. She has done more research herself, and they have decided the driving trip will be for another time. She's finding restaurants that are open as well as a few tours.
They are currently planning a train ride up to Hampstead Heath to The Spaniard's Inn for a turkey dinner and Christmas pudding! A walk along Hampstead Heath is also in the cards. They will take Christmas Day as a rest-and-stroll-around-a-bit day. :)

Just found out one of my best friends over here is going to London for a week over Christmas!!!!!!!
She has never been anywhere outside the US except for Canada. She and her hubby are staying in central London and have a very ambitious schedule planned: the opera, Oxford, Stonehenge, Bath, Tower of London, Westminster, St. Paul's, a very old English pub whose name I forget (which is not actually in London...) etc. etc. etc.
They KNOW they are very overly ambitious and will never do it all, but are starting by putting down EVERY thing they'd like to see, then pare it down. The Stonehenge trip will be part of a big loop that will wind through Oxford etc. and will be an overnight trip. (They are not tortoise people but are still wonderful folks.)
She will be doing :eek: the driving, and I do NOT envy her!!!!! I advised her to do what I did when I was first in New Zealand: get a large sheet of paper and write in all capital letters KEEP LEFT with a large red arrow underneath that points to the left!!!!!!!!! :p
I'm quite jealous!!!!!!!

Get your friend to use the TfL (Transport for London) journey planner to work out whether she will be able to get a train on the days she plans. There will be no trains or underground (subway) on Christmas Day at all.

I've got a recipe for some Christmas baking that calls for golden syrup, which we don't have here in the US.
Can any of our UK members suggest a reasonable alternative?
We have honey, molasses, maple syrup and corn syrup to choose from.

@Tidgy's Dad @JoesMum

Or should I just order golden syrup from Amazon?
