Well, the only reason I want to go a week earlier is that I want to go to London at some point next term, but my exams start on 15 May so the earlier the better. I don't suppose it makes much difference though.
Entertainment-wise: I'd definitely recommend Camden (well, I want to go back there myself), if you don't feel too embarrassed about drooling in public and don't mind feeling insanely jealous of the people who can afford to dress impressively every day. (Although I've got this theory that they just have really bad hygiene and wear the same clothes every day...) What else? Well, you probably know as much about Nodnol as I do: there's myriad museums and lots of stoof to see, if anything tickles thine fancy. When I've had netmeetings there, I've usually spent the day sitting in cafes, looking round shops, and walking about and taking a lot more tubes than strictly necessary.
I wish I knew a good place to sleep myself! Sadly, the only people I know in London are friends' relatives who I don't really feel I can impose myself (never mind anyone else) upon. What's your coworker doing about accommodation? Slimelight is as good a place as any to spend a Saturday night (it runs from 10 - 7.30), if you don't mind not sleeping, or sleeping on a metal box (unless you're v. lucky and get a sofa to yourself) to the sound of loud goth/industrial music. (It's not as difficult as it sounds.)
Lucky you. I never got to go any further afield than Northallerton, a v. boring town in a neighbouring county, for my job. Why precisely are you going to Swindon, byzeway?
