The Eye of London...
by peitsing
There is just something about London that mesmerizes me....
Lots may say that London is dreary, gloomy, wet etc etc, but somehow or other, I just simply luv it.. for no reason in particular...
Oh.. my tips are, erm...
- take time to hop into one of those red double deckers..
- make calls to close ones from the cute and quaint red public phones
and jump into the LondonEye if you have money to spare coz from my personal opinion, it may be a little bit overhyped... sorry, folks! Great view tho....... Exploring the London Bridge by my lone self and makin numerous loo trips due to food poisonin... hehe
Beauty is in the detail

London is an architecture lover's all-you-can-eat buffet. At first glance this may appear to be a highly decorated entrance. But actually it's part of the north wall inside the Museum of Natural History, one of the many architectural gems that abound in this great city.
Little Venice
by draguza
Little Venice is one of the prettiest parts of London:
it is the name given to the junction between a canal leading to the Paddington basin, next to the London railway station by the same name, and the Regent's canal. The canal was opened in 1801. It forms a triangular basin with a little islet, hence the reference to Venice. The gardens near the islet are now named after Rembrandt with a reference to another Venice, Amsterdam which shares with Stockholm the appellation of Venice of the North.
Little Venice can be easily reached by Warwick Avenue Underground Station or by car from Marble Arch going northwards through Edgware Road and turning left after a mile in Maida Avenue.
Greenwich...

Visit Greenwich. Not only is it the home of the Meridian and the Dome (ha! closed now, what a joke!) but it is a vibrant area with a nice atmosphere. It's also a lot easier to reach now. Greenwich park is great for a day out, as there are fabulous views over Docklands and London. Aaah, I've lived here for 25 years, where can I begin? The fireworks on Millennium Eve were pretty special, even if a lot of them didn't work. Got very squashed, but London had a good night that night.
British Music
by lolitajane
Many of the most important Rock n' Roll bands are from Great Britain. In the Sixties, the music of THE ROLLING STONES (as well as that of The Beatles' too) made a difference and nothing's been the same since then. The Stones are the Greatest Rock n' Roll band, in my opinion, for what they've done and for what they're up to now: 40 years of Rock n'Roll!!!
I must admit I was really disappointed when I found no Stones memorabilia shops in London, I had expected to find lots of merchandising shops but actually I think didn't come accross any. At least I had the chance of having dinner at Sticky Fingers Cafe (see restaurant tip for information) and I could pick up a napkin & take some pics!
