Considering the Prince Regent Hotel in London?

... strike up conversations... by cshalm
... strike up conversations with the people! The English are absolutely wonderful, particularly to visiting Americans! I made a number of wonderful friends while I was wandering around Piccadilly and getting lost! Every time I got lost, I stopped someone who seemed friendly. Without exception, everyone gave me careful directions, talked to me, made jokes, and often took some time to have nice conversations. They are surprisingly well informed about American customs and holidays; on our American Thanksgiving Day, every Brit I met took the trouble to wish me a happy Thanksgiving. I particularly suggest hanging out in pubs, where you can always find good conversation, at least early in the evening. You can also meet lots of nice people at coffee bars and Internet cafes.I met someone quite by accident while dining alone at a tearoom in Piccadilly. He was alone too -- and we ended up talking for seven hours!
