Trying to find a fun night out?
by marisa81
If you are stuck on where to go (and on a tight budget) just walk around Leceister square area, there are so many people handing out flyers for clubs. These flyers may get you free admission, or just let you know what is going on at particular clubs. If you are a girl is is easy to bargain with the bouncer (at certain clubs) to let you in. Drinking with a group of friends, and heading downtown, and just picking up any flyer and trying a new club every week. We had some awesome experiences and great stories this way.

Had to go see it otherwise no one was ever going to believe I went to London, right?
When you get off the tube station (forgot which one), there it is...and the best part is, you can see the London Eye just across the bridge.
Using escalators in tube stations
by Senoritasmile
Nothing is guaranteed to frustrate a working Londoner more than tourists who block the escalator when we're trying to rush to catch a tube! Sorry, folks but its true!
If you're riding the escalator, stand on the RIGHT hand side so that us mad, impatient locals can whizz down the left-hand side.
In Great Britain they are...

In Great Britain they are crazy about football. It is probably more an obsession. The day I took this photo is the day Brazil beat Turkey in the World Cup. It was taken in Trafalgar Square. The atmosphere was just amazing. I feel privileged to have experienced this.
