I really really love London. I enjoy every moment I spend there. Watching the hustle and bustle of the city get me excited. I am from a city with 7 million people. Hongkonger are named to be hardworking and efficient. However when I walk down the London tube, I feel their fast moving steps are telling me that 'hey miss, pick up your steps, or else you can't catch up with us'. To be able to survive in a competitive city like this, you cannot fall behind. Sometimes I think it is pretty tiring to live a life like this, yet it alo makes lives more challenging.
The streets of London
by Sjalen
With someone who had never been to London before, I would probably go on a sightseeing tour. There are several double decker tours starting between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square and this way you get to see all the sights so you can make up your mind about what to see more of. Then there is a lot of walking to be done to see all of it properly, so make sure you've got good shoes! I miss walking up and down Charing Cross Road looking for bargain books in one of the many book shops. The food from all over the world and the many wonderful parks are other things I miss as well as the general feeling of being where it all happens.
St. Martin's in the fields

Famous St. Martin's is just looking over the Trafalqar square. Most visited church since 800 years ago. What nice to see is the interior of the church lies many story during espeically the plaque victims during the 16th century.
Order at the bar
by donpaul77
I noticed that most pubs don't have table service, so if you're sitting at a table waiting for the damned waitress show up, well...
Just grab yourself a table, look at the menu, and walk up to the bar to order your food and pints (you pay at this time as well). Usually, the food is brought to your table.
If you're unsure if there is table service or not, just ask!
Pack Light
by twojazztravelers
My husband and I went over with just two carryons and it was brilliant - easy to navigate on the tubes and in the airports - no waiting for luggage or lost baggage. Ziplock bags work just as well as the more expensive space saver bags. We went in October and it was pretty nice - some chilly breezes. I would take a rain coat or an umbrella. Make sure you wear comfortable waterproof shoes - it helps!!! Ladies - pack a travel size toilet paper roll - the restrooms don't always have it ...i.e. MacDonald's in London. we did a lot of packing research and you might be able to find some good ideas on the graffitti board on the Rick Steve's website and this virtual tourist website.
