Also go sightseeing! Buckingham Palace, The tower of London, The horseguards, London Bridge and Houses of Parliament are all waiting for you!
Enjoy the nightlife and the theaters and musea! Going out at night!
Why Dont We Do It in the Road?
by rickyvilla81
Silly title. Abbey Road is where the Beatles recorded most of their albums (bar Let It Be) under the watchful eye of George Martin, at the EMI studios (Studio 2 to be exact). For their final album, recorded here because here they "could be musicians, and nothing more", they famously were photographed in the street outside, walking across the zebra-crossing (crosswalk to you in the US!). Paul was barefoot, silly Paul. Of course everyone started to say that Paul was dead, and had been since 1966, having been replaced by a double. The signs were all there in the way that the other Beatles dressed, some of the song lyrics, and the license plate on the VW Beetle (ironic!) that said "28 IF" - Beatle Paul, age 28 IF he'd lived. Codswallop of course, since he was 27, and very alive. All of ahich makes me say - he was 27!!! The Beatles last album! Look how much he'd done by then! I'm 27. I've put on a play in Provence and performed in the British Museum. Paul McCartney on the other hand is a genius. Remarkable.
By the way you can get to Abbey Road by going to St. Johns Wood. Take a photo of the crosswalk, man!
Historical person

The monument of Winston Churchill is in the opposite side of the street from the Houses of Parliament. This person had very important role in the history of United Kingdom and in the history of Europe.
Respectful with your parent`s friends or boyfriend
by NITZELI
In England for most of guys what moms think is very important and stronge. They follow the rules and have a lot of respect for their parents. They could get offended if you dont understand how important and stronge is for them their parents opinions. Rlationship between sun and mom is really stronge and try to interfer in it could be really dangerous. This is hard to explain or understand because you never imagine this in a first world country. They seem to be independent, and they are but not emocionally or economically(just physically). They dont even realise this, but all english girls know it or people who are older than 25. (not everyone is the same)English people are really polite and too formal in the way the act and think. Everything has to be right and under the rules This is my perception after 10 months in a relationship with an english guy, spend 2 months in England and meeting lots of friends over there. They have such an amazing culture..I will come back there soon. I want to learn more.

Yes, London is unique when it comes down to culture. There's nothing you couldn't do in London. Listen to people saying things like 'I'm afraid we don't have toilets'. Watch other people throwing up while walking. See a great play for just a fiver. Shout, take your clothes off, have a baby, whatever - nobody will give a mick.
