London Dopers - What's happening the Week of July 8 - 14

We're going to be in London the week of July 8 through 14 - is there anything different or interesting that we should consider going to?

Also, it's Mr Roo's birthday. Where can I take him out to dinner for a celebratory meal without having to take out a second mortgage?

You're missing Doggett's Coat & Badge race on the 16th.

The Tour de France starts in London this year 6-8th July. Wimbledon will still be on when you arrive. Try http://www.londontown.com or http://www.timeout.com/london/ both are searchable.

As for food - what area and what sort of food do you like?

http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/ is a good website. Did you know the Tour de France begins in London on the 7th/8th?

Also http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5970.htm C & R Cafe is fabulous. Does amazing Malaysian food and there is a set menu (for minimum of two people) which will comfortably feed at least three and is £16.95. They don't have their own website but I know they are open every day including Sunday. But if you go on a Saturday then get there early cos I've seen people queuing for 30 minutes on a Saturday.
