A must stop if in Western Europe but... by joelnale
I highly recommend visiting London if you are in Western Europe, however if you have a reasonable amount of time you are traveling, don't spend too long here. There are SO many other places/countries I believe offer much more (in a different way) than London.That and it is quite expensive.
London was my first stop on my 'whirlwind' tour of Europe. I probably spend about one week here. If I had to do it again, I would have probably spend 3-4 days max.
My favorite thing about London was the TEA. I ditched coffee for a whole week. Literally, I did not have coffee at all. The tea was amazing.Stepping off the train from Gatwick Airport into the city of London was my fondest memory. I was officially alone in another country! What a feeling!
