QOTW: What do Lions players want to see in London?

Question of the Week is a feature in which we take a cross-section of opinions from Detroit Lions players and coaches (and sometimes opponents) about a singular topic. Most of the time, they have nothing to do with football. Have a suggestion? Email: michael.rothstein@espn.com.

LONDON -- The Detroit Lions are over here after weeks of anticipation and questions about the trip to play football in Europe instead of North America.

So this week's Lions question of the week is simple: What would Lions players want to see in London while they are here? For many Detroit players, this is their first trip outside of the United States.

(For me, I've been to London before, but trying to get to Greenwich this time or the Victoria & Albert Museum again. And taking suggestions.)

Safety Glover Quin: Just a little bit of the culture. I wouldn't mind seeing London Bridge [Tower Bridge], I guess. But, I'm just kind of here to enjoy the moment, to play in a game and I happen to see something that's pretty cool, I don't know a lot about the culture and what goes on. My wife does, so she may have a couple things she wants to see that I get to enjoy with her but as for me, I didn't come over with just one thing that I want to go see something.

Cornerback Rashean Mathis: I have the family looking into that. The experience, we're not going to really experience too much being it's a business trip. It's different. I've been over there so it's a little different. It's not my first time, so I know what to expect, so during the offseason if I wanted to go be a tourist, I'll be a tourist. But this situation is a little different for me.

Quarterback Kellen Moore: I've never been there so it'll be fun. Whether we have time or not, there are some buildings and historical stuff there that would be awesome. All the government-type stuff, kind of like the D.C. trip that we all had.

Reporter: You had a D.C. trip from Prosser, Washington?

Moore: Yeah, it was a long one.

Right tackle LaAdrian Waddle: I don't have nothing on my list. Just being out of the country in general is pretty exciting for me. At some point I would have hoped I would have gotten out of [the United States], but it's nice to do it the way we're doing it. I think it's a pretty neat deal.

Linebacker Josh Bynes: I don't even know. I have no clue. I don't even know what's in London. Just whatever. This is my first time overseas. My older brother, he played overseas the past couple years and my little brother's best friend plays basketball overseas. Quite a few guys I know play basketball overseas, so they all said it's great and wonderful there. Me, I don't know what's over there. I'm just going to be a chicken with my head cut off and whatever pops up. Maybe I'll look up some stuff to see in London when it comes around.

Defensive tackle Caraun Reid: Winning. Going there, I don't expect anything, just a different location.

Wide receiver Jeremy Ross: Just seeing London. Never been. Don't even know what's out there. Only thing I really know is Big Ben, that's about it. It's all going to be new to me. New experience, first time going out of the United States. So it'll be a good experience just to be somewhere different, see what the culture is like, and see how everything is out there.

---

Cornerback Cassius Vaughn: Can't name anything but it'll be fun to go over again. This is my second time. You get to see another walk of life, get to indulge in that culture a little bit, go to different restaurants, eat different foods and, you know, the value of a pound instead of an American dollar. You see all that types of stuff.

Punter Sam Martin: Just see the city, sightsee. I'm excited for that. I'll do some research. See, I'm good like that. (Martin went to Big Ben on Tuesday) I've never left the country. Bahamas once.
