I would strongly advise any visitor to london to check out Camden market on the weekend, it has Londons most eclectic collection of clothes, food, pubs and clubs and is a must see for everyone, It can be found about 10 minutes from central London on the north side. My fondest memory is of playing with my son Sam in any of Londons many public parks.
Covent Garden

Once an area of decaying streets Covent Gardens is now completely revitalized. Come and stroll the many shops and check out the street performers. Love the vibrant atmosphere and great shopping that can be found here in Covent Garden.
Changing the guard.
by JulesH
This particular change took place at Horseguards Parade but there is also a change at Buckingham Palace, WIndsor Castle and The Tower of London. It is basically a shift change for the Queens Guard and takes place to the pomp and ceremony of a marching band. In the summer, the guard changes daily at around 11am. Check the following website for times: http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page378.asp Trying to make a member of the Queens Guard move or laugh when I was a child. It's part of their training that they have to stay as still as a statue while on sentry duty!
Busy and sometimes unfriendly!
by J.I.M
Londoners are nice people really, BUT they are sometimes not very happy or welcoming! In the city centre things can be so busy and people want to get to where they need to be as quick as possible. So people are often in a hurry and don't have time to give a smile or a "hello!". It's all eyes-to-the-floor-and-walk-as-fast-as-possible sometimes!
Water everywhere!
by arv1
the weather in london is unpredictable so even if the forecast says it wont rain, still pack something warm and that would keep u dry depending on where you come from, batteries can be expensive here, especially for cameras so i recommend bringing some from home always keep water with you!! no matter how cold it is outside, on the underground it is always considerably warmer. and when you really need water, its never there!
