Cosmopolitan is a word invented for London

The weather sometimes... and quite expensive ...
In a nutshell
It's true, there's always something to do or see in London!
456 Reviews After several years of scaffolding, scrubbing and polishing the Norman architecture of the White Tower is again visible since begin 2011 like it must have looked around 1100 after the death of William the Conqueror the Duke of Normandy who had it built. It is certainly the most imposing building...
297 Reviews Unreal; one of London’s top attractions, and absolutely free. I have been there several times but have not even scratched the surface of the millions of things to see, peek at the Rosetta Stone, and move on to Aztec mosaic masks or the head-smashed ‘Lindow Man’ (a 1st-century unfortunate found in a...
254 Reviews Going to London and not seeing through London eye is the biggest mistake a tourist can make. It is not only the eye but heart and soul of London. One should avoid visiting it when the weather is cloudy. Otherwise great sightseeing tool. One can recognize it from far far away. Wrestling to get onto...
Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
369 Reviews This is so far one of the most impressive and magnificent gothic designed Masterpiece Work of Art in the History of England. Located in the heart of London, England, UK. It took them more than 32 years to build and rebuilt this colossal building architecture after most part of it was destroyed by...
289 Reviews It is each time a pleasure for me to see again the emblematic bridge of London. This time the metallic structures had been repainted in blue, white and some touches of red. Best views on Tower Bridge are from the wharf alongside the South Wall of the Tower of London. Last year, sitting on the...
394 Reviews From Admiralty Arch we walked down the Mall passed Clarence House and over towards Buckingham Palace, It was packed with people when we visited because the Queen was at home and everybody was hoping she would take the dogs out for a walk or something, it was far to crowded to see or even get near...
5 Reviews and 1444 Opinions The concierge was fabulous, the hotel very grand, and despite the rooms being small they were...
2 Reviews and 1025 Opinions Hotel Ibis London Euston St Pancras Recommended by being the best location, nice rooms, modern and...
Belgo Centraal (Covent Garden)
20 Reviews Last visit January 2008 I've eaten at Belgo several times, on my most recent visit it wasn't very crowded at lunch on a Monday. The restaurant is located in a rather funky basement, seating is at long communal tables and the noise level is loud when it's busy. If it hadn't been listed in virtually...
31 Reviews The first Hard Rock Cafe was opened in Old Park Lane in June 1971, with food normally on the menu at an American Diner with Rock and Roll music playing while you ate. Eric Clapton donated his Fender Guitar so he could reserve a seat at the bar and occasionally rock stars can be seen jamming here....
Tube (Underground, Subway, Metro).
413 Reviews Gloucester Road Tube stop at Cromwell road is a good area for a hotel location, This Tube connects with three tube lines thus this stop is excellent for connections all around London and to Heathrow LHR airport. From LHR trains won't be already full and you don't need to change trains and returning...
158 Reviews I'm guessing that the #1 question about London is "should I get an Oyster Card or a travelcard?" I've given it a lot of thought on my many visits to London and I almost always get a travelcard although I do have an Oyster Card that I've kept from a previous trip. Reasons to get a travelcard: -if...
127 Reviews The Egyptian Room of Harrod's is another which should not be missed. It has a scaled-down Sphinx and Rosetta Stone replica. It's a wonderful experience riding the Egyptian Escalator located in the centre of the store. I just rode it to see what there was to see, and this was the story of the Valley...
121 Reviews ray ban is a shop for sunglusess,ray ban have a great choice,have a sunglusess form man for woman and for children! you can try a lot of these! london is a beautiful city with a lot of curiosity i spend a lot of money
Pickpockets, Beggars, Crime and Scams
142 Reviews London is a huge, busy city that is always full of people. Play it safe and don’t walk around in large crowds talking on your mobile phone. While you are not paying attention you become a target for street criminals. Phones are expensive and druggies can get high on the theft of a phone. Most UK...
Traffic, Driving and Crossing the road
80 Reviews If you don't have a great walking stride, prepare yourself for the big walk if you fly United from the USA to London and taking the London Connect to Paddington Station. You get out on gate 49, the last gate in Healthrow and you walk, I say to terminal station 3 where you catch your train, it is a...
16 Reviews Dont be a sheep... These things are an extraordinary rip-off. They are often 25 quid or more for a ticket and the quality of the commentary is variable to say the least. Some don't even have a live guide - but a rather anodine and formulaic tape. They market themselves as a time-saving service...
9 Reviews I know we have all been told not to use local Bureau De Change companies but after much research online I found a place in Covent Garden that beat out every other compnay I looked at. I rodered the currency online and they delivered it to my hotel free of charge with no commission or hidden fees....
63 Reviews Stamford Bridge in London is the home of Chelsea football club. Stamford Bridge officially opened on 28th April 1877 as an athletic club. The ownership changed hands in 1904 and two brothers, HA and JT Mears bought the land with the aim of establishing a football team. Some of the terracing was...
16 Reviews OK, so this isn't strictly a sports activity - it's a pre-sports activity!! Just giving you the heads-up on a place to grab a drink and soak up the atmosphere before a football match. Wembley Way is the area outside Wembley Stadium where alcoholic drinks are sold aswell as fast food. It's all...
164 Reviews British Museum and Le Louvre are for me the best European museums of Antiquities. My preferred museums of Antiquities in Europe are the following: Under Antiquities I mean here Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Near Eastern artefacts. Multidepartment Museums: Le Louvre, Paris. British Museum,...
414 Reviews 2012 update-it appears that for a 7 day travelcard at a rail station that you now have to get a photocard so bring a photo with you, I believe the photocard is free London attractions can be very expensive but with a little help from the Days Out Guide 2 for 1 offers, I've saved a bundle of money...

British Museum blockbuster exhibition "Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum" from 28 March to 29 September 2013. Address: Great Russell Street in Bloomsbury. Russell Square or Tottenham Court Road tube. The Museum also has an entrance on Montague Place. Advance booking essential. For all details, see www.britishmuseum.org
It has been announced that the ceremonial funeral of Margaret Thatcher will take place at St Paul's cathedral at 11am on Wednesday 17th April. St Paul's is completely closed to visitors and worshippers on Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th.
Roads in the area will be closed to traffic on the day of the funeral. It is likely that there will be substantial crowds lining the route of the ceremonial funeral procession (from the Palace of Westminster to St Paul's) as well as outside the cathedral itself.
There is potential for street disturbances in the area, before, during and after the procession. My advice would be to keep well away and, if you want to see the funeral, to watch it on the television (where you will see much more anyway).
Update to the message below regarding a Uube strike on Boxing Day.. In the last half hour Arsenal F.C. have announced that their Premiership football match against West Ham United F.C. on 26th December is postponed because of the strike. No alternative date has yet been arranged.
I have just heard on the BBC News in London that Tube (Underground / Metro) workers are going on strike for 24 hours on Boxing Day (26th December, 2012). Members of the ASLEF Union have today voted in favour of this action which will seriously disrupt transportation in London on this public holiday. They have also voted for industrial action on the 18th January, 2013 and 25th January, 2013. Here is a link.

I shall update this if there is any change in the situation.
Yep...the editor will be able to edit all of that and add favorites, updates, warnings, events and much more... coming soon for you.
Thanks for the information, Fergy, good to know this if I return back to London in January.
