first time in london

hi

i`m planning my first trip to london this weekend with my boyfriend.

i noticed monday it is Late May Bank Holiday, does this mean everything is closed this day?
i would also like to know the opening hours of the disneystores in london. (any change they are open on sunday or monday?)

and is there a nice place to drink some cocktails? or some good or nice restaurants you would advice me?

many thnaks for the help

Don't worry, shops will still be open on both sunday and bank holiday monday. They MIGHT close earlier, as in perhaps 4pm, but that's it.

Off the top of my head there's a Disney Store in Covent Garden and one on Oxford Street.

There are hundreds of restaurants in town, I wouldn't know where to begin. Chinatown/Soho is full of Chinese restaurants. Personally I like steaks, ribs and chicken type places....

Pick up a booklet/leaflet from an overground station, it says 2 for 1 Days Out Guide London or something on the front. You can get some great deals on restaurants in there. For example, there's Maxwells in Covent garden which lets you have two meals for the price of one.

Orrr Bodean's on Poland St which turns off Oxford St opposite HMV. They have great food - And a £10 deal which they don't seem to have advertised very well. You can choose from three of their dishes, and get a drink for £10. It's really worth it.
