If you can get them from Chelsea football club website. Often sold out.
2. Best places for videography in london.
London Eye, Tower of London, Coventry Garden (street performers etc) Leicester square (at night)
3. General fun stuff to do
A play, shopping, or how about a scavenger hunt if you are on the tube?
4. the best place for tea in london lol... had to put that in there.
The Ritz.
5. can someone setup a tour off bbc studios...
Sorry no idea how to go about that. You can do a tour of Wembley though.

thank you ahead of time.
Hope that helps.

1. Where do i buy tickets to a chelsea game? How much are good seats, where should i sit etc? Sorry I don't follow football but I know that it is expensive for a big team. If you try a smaller team like Queens Park Rangers in West London, you will still get top flight entertainment and football but at a lower price

2. Best places for videography in london. - Chelsea Bridge at dawn - A fantastic view of London and makes you forget your on a bus going to work

3. General fun stuff to do - Walk around Camden and see the freaks and geeks ;) Walk on the crosing outside Abbey Road Studios like the Beatles :cool: Jump on any bus and take it to the very end - Get a takeaway portion of fish and chips and realise that your friends chips taste better than yours! -

BBC Broadcasting House Tour
Are you planning a trip to London to do your Christmas shopping? Why not make a day of it and come on a tour of BBC Broadcasting House too!

The BBC's magnificent Broadcasting House is situated just off Oxford Circus, in Portland Place, so you can do some festive shopping, experience the Christmas lights and take a tour around the BBC!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Newsreader? Or perhaps you fancy trying your hand at presenting the weather? During the fun and informative tour you can see whether you're a natural in front of the camera as we'll give you the opportunity to have a go at reading the news or presenting the weather on our interactive news set. We'll also show you Europe's largest newsroom and give you an insight into how it operates.

Your guides will explain how we make BBC Radio Drama, and for any budding actors on the tour, this will be your chance to shine as you'll get the opportunity to make your very own radio play complete with music and sound effects! You may also get the chance to peek into the newly restored Radio Theatre (production schedules permitting) where Radio 2 concerts,such as Robbie Williams, Elton John and Michael Buble have taken place and popular radio comedy shows such as Just a Minute, The News Quiz and The Now Show have recently been recorded.

*A brand new addition for 2014 is the chance to visit the studio where the One Show is filmed, giving a behind-the-scenes insight into the working environment of a live TV show! This is your chance to sit on the famous green sofa where Matt, Alex and Chris have interviewed the stars! Access to the studio is available for tours beginning before 15.00 weekdays, all of Saturday, and for tours after 13.00 on Sundays (production schedules permitting)*

As you're going round the building we recommend you keep your eyes peeled too, as you never know who might be at the BBC on the day of your visit!

*We're sorry, but we can't admit babies, or children under 9, on this tour.

Your tour will last approximately one and a half hours

You basically have zero chance of getting a ticket for a Chelsea league game through the club directly unless you are a member (I'm a member and still struggle - games typically sell out within an hour and it's pretty much pot luck as to whether you get a ticket or not)

You may be able to get hospitality tickets through Thomas Cook - http://www.thomascooksport.com/Football/Premier-League/Chelsea-FC - but they're not cheap!

What's the average upper level ticket price. At a nfl game it's 120-140. 180-230 at the better stadiums.

Here's a page with all the prices on it

http://www.chelseafc.com/tickets-membership/general-ticket-info/ticket-prices.html

The most expensive non-hospitality tickets are £87 ($138) but as I said I don't think you'll manage to get any.

As well as the packages through Thomas Cook, you can buy individual hospitality tickets through the club from this page: http://hospitality.chelseafc.com/fixtures/

There are still some tickets available for December / January but they are at least £195 ($310) and go all the way to £895 ($1427)


One thing I would add is do not buy through unofficial channels (i.e. touts) - it's illegal to tout sports tickets in the UK and you may well find you pay a fortune and get refused entry.

Damn. Haha how does the Barclays league get away this. It's not even the playoffs and upper level tickets are 310.

Clubs set their own prices and these are for hospitality tickets (i.e. include a meal, etc). There is no concept of playoffs in the Premier League ;)
 
A few questions for the london uk natives

So basically a suite in London is cheaper then America. That's a good way to look at it. These seats would be 2500 each in America. Am I wrong?
 
You won't get a suite for that price - this is what you get
VIP seating in the West Stand middle tier around the goal line
Pre-match three-course fine dining
Savoury refreshments served at half-time
A selection of cheese and petit fours available at full time
Complimentary bar including beer, wine, house spirits and soft drinks
Matchday programme
Team sheet confirming team line up

*excludes Champagne **Parties of less than 8 may be on a shared table - See more at: http://hospitality.chelseafc.com/match-packages-compare/#sthash.p5H1t3k5.dpuf
 
Places to go

Smithfield Market, Soho (at night), river trips (central evening,good weather upstream),London Dungeon (not for nervous/young),Lunch time in The City (watch the natives) and any side street that appears to be busy (something good going on)

Good Luck

nb:- usual big city security recommended, especially phone,cameras and wallet

I don't think its more fast paced, just has a different rhythm, a beat of it's own.
There are lots of Tourist things as a Londoner I have never done.

Just be prepared if you follow the tourist route, you will meet a lot of your own countrymen doing the same thing!!!:cool:

Either way, have fun and enjoy everything London has to offer!!!
 
Just recently came back from London for a college trip. Fun city, a cousin of mine lives in NYC and described it as such, which I find accurate. The subway system is amazing - light years better than the American system - and fun districts. Couldn't do everything in a weeks time since the city is so big. Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Parliament are nice to see but big fan of Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden. Stayed in Earls Court. Saw a flagship Apple Store there as well.

Also what bars do the 18-20 year old Oxford students go to. Always wanted to drink with a British girl.
