Walking through..
by tomeek
walk and I mean WALK through it! Sure, you can take a bus tour with a guide telling you this or that but if you really want to SEE things, just walk...its not that big, in less than one week I walked the centre and seen all the famous places. Surprisingly, I was tanned during my London walks! It was April, early Spring, and even if the UK climate is not really famous by its sunny and warm days, my week was just about that! No single drop of rain! Here on this pic you can see the blooming roses in Hyde Park..lots of greens and flowers!
William III at Kensington Palace
by littlesam1
As I mentioned in my Kensington Palace tip, we really enjoyed out tour of Kensington Palace more than our tour of Buckingham Palace. I think it must have had a lot to do with the memory of Princess Di living here. But also Kensington Palace seemed to be more open and welcoming. Here is a picture of a memorial to William III at Kensington Palace. I definately recommend a tour of Kensington Palace to anyone visiting London.
Law Courts (Royal Courts of Justice)
by yooperprof
Famous from 145 different films or television mini-series set in London and dealing with the difficult path from Crime to Punishment, the Law Courts are a symbol of Britain's pride in its Common Law traditions. Architect G.E. Street designed the building in the 1870s as a Gothic Palace in its own way every bit as magnificent as the Palace of Parliament. Here are 64 courts, 7 miles of corridor, and over 1000 rooms.
The main entrance to the Courts is off the Strand, but my photo shows the Carey Street side.
STEREOTYPES DO NOT WORK

**It is known, at least in Spain, English people is so rude. For example when asking people for directions.
I asked people a lot of times too many diferent things and they tryed hard to figure out the answer politely.
**The English humor is another world. HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR THAT WILL HELP YOU
Raindrops might well fall on your head!

An Umbrella might be needed, although depending on where you are when it rains, you might not be able to open it due to congested streets.
Good walking shoes are essential if like me you prefer to walk & see different things walking London Streets. Make sure you have plenty of memory in your camera - the cost of disposable cameras near major attractions are sky high.
