    Getting TO/AROUND: Back in the States, any building that looked this good would either be a museum or privately owned. Here in London, it's a train station. I love this town! :)

    This is Marylebone Station, one of the prettiest, both inside and out.

    Getting TO/AROUND: If you've been to London, you know there's a certain pop culture fascination with the Tube, and while it's hard to explain, I understand why. It's a mind-boggling labyrinth buried under the city (or as in this picture, above it--usually like this only outside of central London), and it's well-run, usually clean, and great exercise, given the never-ending walkways and stairs you have to negotiate to ride it! You may not see London if you use this as your primary transportation while you're here, but for me, it's an experience in and of itself!

    Mind the gap!

    Getting TO/AROUND: I love the Tube...I love the Tube...I love the Tube...did I mention I love the Tube? It's not perfect, but maybe it's my city-loving nature that makes this people mover so fascinating to me! I could listen to that robotic girl say "Mind the gap between the train and the platform" and study my little Tube map all day long... =)

     Great page, I almost booked a ticket to London after journeying through it. I should see more of the sites on my "doorstep". Happy travels.

     Great page ! I'm also a London lover and I never get tired of it. Cool picture in front of the Platform at King Cross...I'm an Harry Potter fan but I haven't been there yet !

     You were on the wrong street if you were on Melcombe. The opening scene of "A Hard Day's Night" took place on Boston Street right beside Marylebone Train Station!

     Tara, thank you so much for your London tips. We will be in London for 3 short days and need all the help we can get.
