Wise words there from George....i googled it to make sure it was true (i love google).
I cant really help much here but i like M31 (Andromeda galaxy).... but its a bit far north.
I would recommend you get stellarium. It gives lots of information on galaxies and just the sky in general. Check out the website below.
