London Treasure Hunt

Thanks to Jo we got a very intensive course in 'getting to know London'. At the treasure hunt we had to find clues to win points. even the real Londoners were surprised about their own city.
Tip: Have a look at the video about the dograces at Wimbledon

Stereotypes

London is changing, but some things are worth cherishing. It's because they give London it's own unique character; the red double deck busses, the red phonebooths (let them stay although everyone has a mobile phone today), bobbies with their helmets, changing of the guards at the Palace.

Nice surprise; the food

People do not visit London for it's unique kitchen and food. But the food may be added to the qualities of this nice city. You can see the cooks pay a lot of attention to their work. (food made with love for the product). Even in the musea you can get something special.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:So much to see, so much to do, so much to enjoy
  • Cons:A bit overcrowded near the largest tourist attractions
  • In a nutshell:Overwhelming

    I've never done one of the Prom concerts but have been to other concerts in the Albert Hall. It's a great venue- a good tip as well. Thanks, Mike
