The weather sometimes... and quite expensive ...
In a nutshell
If a man is tired of London he probably works for Kwik fit
490 Reviews I've been there so many years ago, when everything was "great", "beautiful", "amazing"... and this was all I could say unfortunately :( I remember that I've been spending long minutes in front of that building trying to understand why it is so "special". Probably now I can say that the History...
Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
499 Reviews The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, stands on the banks of the Thames in the London borough of Westminster. The palace is the seat of the British Parliament, which consists of the House of Commons (House of Commons, similar to the Dutch Lower House of the Belgian...
527 Reviews The Tower of London, usually known as the Tower, is a building in London, situated on the River Thames. Over the centuries it served as a fortress, royal palace, state prison, mint, garrison, museum and armory. The nearby Tower Bridge gets its name from this complex, which since 1988 on the World...
382 Reviews One of the well-known landmarks of London, the Tower Bridge spans the River Thames on the east side of London. A must-see for any visitor to the city. A great photo opportunity. This landmark can be visited along with the Tower of London, which is located nearby. We stayed near the Liverpool Street...
Madame Tussauds and Planetarium
166 Reviews Visit Madam Tussaud's, wax figures Lifelike statues of the famous and infamous. For those of you who do not immediately recognise her: the picture shows the famous TV-host and TV-celebrity Dame Edna Everage

45 Reviews Don’t pass up your chance to see the original Hard Rock. Ask for a tour of the Vault. They may even let you hold Jimmy Hendrix's guitar. Bad expensive American food but and amazing atmosphere Check out the mac and cheese
Belgo Centraal (Covent Garden)
23 Reviews I'm pretty easy to please food wise as I'm not a particularly choosy eater and will try most foods. With that said, I will say that Belgo really disappointed me...the meal was just okay!! I was walking around Covent Garden and had read a bit about this place and since I love, love my LEFFE BLONDE,...

168 Reviews Let me start off by saying to OysterCard is a must for traveling around London. BUT if you are on a budget, try to walk as much as you can. The prices add up quickly even with an OysterCard and my friends and I spent most of our time topping off our OysterCard when we could have walked to our...
137 Reviews Travelling with women three "monuments" are mandatory in London - Oxford street, Marks and Spencer and Harrods. I visited all of them (of course!) but my favorite is this one - beautiful, with nice collections, but... expensive, shortenning the time (and cost) of the visit. Very good, indeed!
144 Reviews When to Urban Outfitters and the place stocked with young and trendy clothings, bags & accessories. Didn't managed to purchase anythings coz the items which we were looking (based on catalog) was out-of-stock.
Pickpockets, Beggars, Crime and Scams
169 Reviews Please beware of those selling tickets outside the theatres for shows (especially ones that are sold out!). For example in 2008 I was waiting outside for a friend outside Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the musical, 'Oliver', had just opened. I overheard a Tout selling tickets to a couple for up 300...
Traffic, Driving and Crossing the road
89 Reviews Since Londoners drive on the left side of the road, it's important to make sure you look the right way when crossing the street. Often times you will see directions painted on the street at crossings to remind you to look the right way.
18 Reviews The London Eye is a huge ferris wheel, at one time the world's largest, with enclosed capsules. It moves so slowly that you can barely tell that it is moving, it takes 30 minutes to do a full revolution. I'm probably in the minority in listing this as a tourist trap, it's been several years since...
Madame Tussauds and Planetarium
37 Reviews If you want to look at a load of lifeless dummies, then why not visit the House of Commons ? or Luton. I fail to understand how this attraction is still at the top of many tourists "Must see" list. I've been a couple of times (usually taking friends who have insisted) in the past few years and...

27 Reviews The Olympic Games are coming to London in 2012 and with less than a year to go now excitement is building for sports fans. We were lucky enough to secure tickets for three events in the ballot – beach volleyball, volleyball and cycling. On the day that those of us who had applied heard whether or...
615 Reviews Every major city boasts a Chinatown. According to my guide book there has been a Chinatown in London since the 19th century and originally concentrated around the East End docks at Limehouse, where the opium dens were sited. Check out the following website for maps and information about Chinatown :...
