Unfortunately dues to the stupid gun laws we have here it will be very difficult to shoot on your trip, there is no provision any more for someone to walk onto a range to shoot. Gun clubs are allowed to have up to 12 open days per year which have to be organised 2 weeks in advance with the local police, if you can contact a shooter here his/her club may be able to arrange an open day for you, there is the opportunity to go stalking ( hunting for deer) but you will not be able to use black powder, rifles can be provided by the estate you shoot on (will be quite expensive though) The MLAGB, muzzle loading club of Great Britain, have their own ranges at Wedgnock just outside of Warwick (lovely town with nice castle) They may have an open day to fit in with your trip, best of luck.
What you said has been my understanding, the laws are restrictive. I'll contact the MLAGB a few months out from the trip to see what they have to say.
words "England" and "cuisine" are oxymorons. I lived there for three years. English food is no more than stomach filler. There are a variety of ethnic restaurants in London that offer great food.
I'm certainly disappointed by the stomach filler comment, but thanks for being honest. We will only be in London for a few days, mostly planning to head across the countryside to different locations. Hopefully there will be some decent food along the way. A local gal says try the fish and chips.
