Buy a tube pass. Almost all the major sites are within walking distance of a tube stop. London is so easy to get around in I couldnt believe it. Buying a tube pass will keep you from having to pay cab fare which adds up so quickly.

Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
Hi
I am residing in Singapore and is a Indian national... I would want to visit London and Paris.. What are the visa requirements for the same? Cam anybody please guide me?
Thanks...
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
For London you need a UK visa and for Paris a Schengen one, as France is a member of the Schengen area. Best ask the embassies or consulates of the UK and France for the exact requirements, they're different for tourist or business visa.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
Yes, you will need two separate visas, one for the UK and one for the Schengen Area of which France is part.
Here is the website for the British Embassy in Singapore:

and the French Embassy in Singapore (in English):
http://www.ambafrance-sg.org/spip.php?article953
These pages will give you the basic information you need.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
Thanks to Leics and Christine for the quick response.. I was actually confused with these 2 visa stuff.. It would have been much easier had UK also bacame part of this common visa requirement...
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
I can't see either the UK or Ireland joining Schengen in the forseeable future, I'm afraid.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
Yes it would have been easier but.......same as saying it would be easier if the US and Canada became one, so that the visa waiver fees could be avoided!!
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
What about Scotland? Will the UK visa suffice to enter there or you need another visa for that?
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland form the UK. You only need one visa.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
If the UK and Ireland were to become part of Schengen,it would shock all the people who want to spend more than 90 days in Schengen.Now they have 90 days in Schengen plus some time in the UK and Ireland.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
Very good point, Christine.
Re: Visa requirement to go to london and Paris
The UK will never join Schengen as it has no land borders with mainland Europe.
Here in mainland Europe you can walk across borders (I did yesterday) completly unhindered, in fact you cannot even tell there is a border now between France and Spain until you notice that the road signs are different.
So, separate visas it will be, forever.
Travel Tips for London
STOPPED & SEARCHED BY THE POLICE
What did I do wrong? Well I was unshaven and carrying a suspicious package. Also I walked away from the Police. At least that’s what they said. Actually I was carrying my hot noodles from a takeaway and looking for my train platform and a chair to sit and eat my hot noodles.
STOP AND SEARCH is a Police power in the UK short of arrest. It was originally enacted as legislation to fight gun & knife crime. Take the weapons off the streets and less killings. Fair enough. Since 9/11 and the London Tube bombings and the searches have taken on increased importance. Now here is where the Labour government here has messed it up completely and made this a mockery and unproductive waste of valuable Police time in the war on terror.
Thanks to the touchy feely Labour Party, the Police cannot PROFILE! So they have to stop middle class old white guys like me. They used to stop young black men in crime areas. Rather than refine their practices for over zealousness, they have to do so many searches of just about anybody. So old women of all shaped and colours get stopped. They don’t cause crime or terrorism. And since terrorist atrocities committed by young men of middle east/Asian backgrounds, they stop me. An American in America going to the airport on September 11th, 2001. Nice one.
The OTHER stupid bit? Once they start, thanks to Labour, the Police CANNOT stop. They must complete the process!
The senior Policemen of 3 who stopped me heard my accent, saw my noodles and instantly became friendly. Under the old rules, the 3 would have gone to look for young guys with similar backgrounds to the Tube bombers. Nope, paperwork. “Are you known to the Police?” barked the lady officer. “No” I said. “Do you want to be known by the Police?” cracked the senior officer. I liked that guy. Good sense of humour.
By the way I am a “White –Other” at the end of the form. Your safety was compromised while 3 anti-terrorism officers did paperwork on me and my noodles. At least no one of a specific ethnic origin got their feelings hurt.
(By the way I was detained by the Police the week before for taking a photo of the same noodle takeaway place!!!!!)
Madam Tussaud's and The London Planetarium
Can you recognize the very famous TV start is not real? You can see many starts there. Tickets quite expensive.
Tube Station: Baker Street

Princess Diana's Memorial Walk
The walk is through St James park through one of the loveliest parts of the park, it is reputed that she loved walking though here.
One start of the walk is just off off Buckingham Palace just past the Victora Statue.
There is lots and lots of...
There is lots and lots of shopping to do in London. Harrod's is the most obvious choice, but the place is crawling with tourists and overpriced. I like the department stores on Oxford Street much better - John Lewis being my favorite. Kensington High Street and the area around it has some very nice shops, including the very upscale Harvey Nichol's. If you like shopping for things for your home, then head to Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street. This seems to be the place that home stores congregate. There are lots of souvenir shops scattered around the city, so browse them and make note of which ones have good prices or something of interest and go back later, it pays to shop around.
