Hello, all! For those of you who know London well, I'm talking to you!

I'll be flying in to London this July and was wondering... Besides the Michael concerts, Thriller Live and Madame Tussauds, what else is there to do in London in regards to Michael?

I want to spend every waking minute doing something! I love being very active and since I'm flying all the way to London and staying for a while, I want to make sure I go see everything Michael they have in London.

So, can you guys help me out, or did I already think of everything in London in regards to Michael?
 
Hmmm, well there's the new Harry Potter movie being released in July and it has been rumoured that Michael will be going to the premiere for it so why not watch it at one of the cinemas just so you have the feel of "Yeah, Michael has watched this too".
 
Clever idea, Shamonee! ;)

Are there any Hard Rock Cafe's that feature Michael?
 
depends how michaley u wanna be lol if u want to check out the hotels hes stayed at or the places he shops?
 
I just want to visit the places that have somewhat of a tribute to him. You know, the Thriller Live is for a tribute to his musical history. Madame Tussauds has the wax figure of him, which is cool... America doesn't really have anything Michael publically, just a couple CDs.
 
I looked on Hard Rock Cafe's website and didn't see anything Michael in there for London... Can someone confirm this?

ok. i dont really know of any places then bar the obvious like tussards. i dont think there is really many places. theres rock circus if its still as it was 10 years ago

no theres nothing in harrods its just one of mjs hang outs. if u like to go around shops and know that mj has been there aswell.otherwise theres nothing really there.
 
Well, to me, there's lots there compared to how the USA is... You never find anything like what is in London here.

Rock Circus... I'll have to check in to that one. What is/was it?

It was a place with wax figures also (music related) it had 2 great Michael status also (imo better one then the Madame T)
 
Thanks, Agnes! I haven't been able to find anything about it either. Man, that would have been awesome to see! Let me know if you find any other information. I'll keep looking!

Yes, but you have to understand... It's rare to EVER see Michael here like that. Yes, he's in a Madame Tussauds here, I think. And a Hard Rock Cafe. But there's nothing else here... I'd love to live to see a day where I see a Michael thing in PUBLIC besides a CD!

You guys have THRILLER LIVE. I wouldn't take that for granted! We'll never have a Michael musical here. :(

Oooo, Agnes! That's awesome! How would I get there, is there an address? Did Michael use to own that statue or?

Thanks for taking the time to help mewhen you didn't have to, Agnes!
 
I don't know if mj is in madame tausaudes cos when I went I asked where he was but they said that he wasn't there. But maybe cos of the tour they may bring him out lol

And no there is nothing of his in the hard rock cafe.

Yes, I checked the Hard Rock Cafe and it was dry in London!

Are you sure about the Madame Tussauds, though? Because I checked their London figures and it says they have him... I bought tickets..
 
I'll go to bookstores, for sure...that will be the one ""Michael-thing" I'll be doing. But then again...I always go to bookstores everywhere anyways, because I love books myself. :p :lol:
 
Like I said, I want to go to places that Tribute Michael in some way... If I'm paying all this money to go, I might as well have something to do when I'm NOT at my concerts! :)
 
What about doing some Michael shopping? Do you collect LPs, Vinyls? I remember once i went to Nothing Hill (i got off at that tube station) and there were plenty of LP stores which sold even from the Jacksons Vinyls and they were very cheap...like 30 penny or 1 pounds

Thanks, Moonstreet! Like I said, I don't want to just go to places Michael's been to. I want to go to places that have Michael things... And not JUST CDs. I mean, like the wax figures. Something you can't miss. Hopefully when Michael starts performing, they will have all 3 figures out!

I like the fact that you told me about the places he goes most while he is there because now, I'll be able to possibly go and catch him! :p

That sounds nice, but I think I'll find nothing that I don't already have there. ;) Where is this place?
 
I think I saw it. It did NOT resemble him whatsoever, but at least it's SUPPOSED to be Michael. :p

You think they'll have them all out for the concerts? :-D
 
Yeah, the Bad waxwork is not that great, but it's something at least lol. Maybe they'll will change it up sometime soon. I'm not that big a fan of MT but then I always end up enjoying myself when someone drags me there lol.
