I'm researching London at the moment for my story.  I'm looking at famous places for my character (who's come from Cornwall and doesn't know London) to visit, including museums and the London Eye!  It's quite a while since I went to London myself, so it feels a bit like I'm feeling my way in the dark.  I'm finding the internet very helpful though.  There seems to be a mine of information out there.  I just need to find what's most relevant to my story.

I'm thinking about self-publishing at some stage, but I need to look into it quite carefully.  I don't think I'm ready yet anyway.  It just seems as though it would be easier to go down that route, at least initially, than to send off manuscripts to lots of agents.  Any thoughts?
