thanks for the tip about this offer. This maybe a dumb question but as I was filling out the voucher for the tower of london, there is a question about " Station where you are starting your journey from"... i scrolled down to the choices but nothing seemed familiar to me. Can you tell me the answer to this question? I really really appreciate it so I can avail of the offer. Thanks again
Where are starting from? That's the question. Where's your nearest railway station?
The deal, if I'm thinking correctly, is the train travel deal. Which site are using?
I don't recall having to fill out the voucher or select dates but there is an other selection at the bottom of the list and you can select that
This is under the FAQ section of the website, you can use your day travelcard in London to use these offers, technically you are supposed to buy them from a rail station (ie Paddington or Victoria), in reality, no one ever checked to see if I had a travelcard much less if it had the crowsfoot logo on it.
"Can I use Underground/tube only tickets and/or London Bus only tickets?
No, except as shown below.
However if your travel ticket has an element of National Rail/train company travel included, e.g. any type of 'paper' Travelcard, train/tube inclusive ticket and is issued by a National Rail operated ticket office, then the answer is Yes. By way of recognition if your travel ticket shows the Double-Arrow (or 'crows-foot') National Rail logo you're generally safe to assume it is valid. If you are unsure in any way please ask at your local staffed National Rail station."
Sometime you get the feeling that you are so lonely and all alone in another country... Then suddenly out of no where... your fren just bust into your room and crack a non-sensical joke and leaves.... and come back in again laughing... with me follow on laughing.... The feelings is more than comforting to know that there is someone who can tolerate you and be your buddy through good or bad times....
I know that some people may think its cliche... but hey, lighten up! Try some! And I'm not talking about the stuff you get at nice restaurants, but the greasy stuff you get at local fish and chip stores. Coming back after a long, but fun day tired... satisfied... and starving... the chip ship around the corner was a godsend! I know its cheaply made food and its greasy, but hey, I'm on vacation! And all the walking around that you do in London should offset all the calories... I hope! Greasy chips is a great late night snack!
Another great way to discover the "other London" is by London Walks tours.
Each tour of London walks cost 5 pounds and takes you to discover parts of London in a way that you never knew or saw.
Some of the guides are really nice and makes it quite interesting !

It's customary in london to go to a pub or a bar and have a drink... this means if you're meeting up with english friends that you buy the drinks all night... ok it was worth a try, but a number of people don't understand the concept of rounds...
one person buys a round of drinks... then next time another person in the group does the same... then another etc... so really you are only paying for your drinks.
the English like to drink though, we can't do it as well as the scottish or the irish, but at the stage where most people a feeling like they're going to be sick, the english keep on going...
you'll see some nice sites after all the bars close though lol
butty: most commonly referred to as a "chip butty" which consists of "chips" (fries) on a "butty" (similar to a hoagie roll) dripping with butter, malt vinegar, ketchup, and added salt, perhaps. A popular food item at a "chippie" shop in England, not America.
Added note: It is acceptable to eat these with your hands, but to avoid strange looks, do use a fork when eating "chips" with a meal. In America, it is not uncommon to eat "fries" without using any utensils, but considered rather "Barbaric" in England. They even give you cute little forks with bags of take away (to go) chips! It could be because they drown their chips in malt vinegar and ketchup and would not want their fingers smelling of vinegar. I prefer to dip my fries in ketchup, one by one. I did though, manage to use a fork.
Further note: In England, you will be asked, "Is that for dine in, or take away?" In America, you will be asked, "Is that for here, or to go?" (or carry-out)
For amusement purposes, you could ask at a posh Chinese restaurant, for a doggie bag, although you would probably be the only one laughing.
candy floss: cotton candy sold at festivals in the park.
central reservation: median. Nothing to do with reserving anything particular, simply the area in the middle of the motorway.
chemist: a pharmacy or drug store. (also a person experimenting with chemicals on both sides of the pond).
cheeky: the act of being bold, nearly rude, but in a humorous (humourous) sort of way. A sort of tongue in cheek, or perhaps a joke that is "almost" not funny. Being cheeky is not considered a bad thing. It could be considered a compliment, even, in England.
chippie: a place that sells English chips, usually a Fish and Chips shop.
chocolate drops: chocolate chips in the US. You can see where this would sound particularly undesirable in England, as the thought of chocolate fries would not appeal to anyone.
