"London Stopover" London by tahte
London Travel Guide: 23,039 reviews and 47,275 photos
...Next time, stay more than 2 days! There's so much I didn't see and do this time because this visit was somewhat of a stopover on the way to Nottingham. Still, it was nice to be in England, the land of my favorite band (Yes) and my favorite TV show (EastEnders)!
I'm still debating which was larger - the store's size or its prices! But, the summer sale was going on, so there were actually bargains to be had. Though I saw everything from coats to cameras to caviar, all my purchases were made in their 4th floor gift shop. You can pay with US dollars and get English pounds back.
This is as close as I got this time, but it's surely on the list for my next visit. Hopefully the weather will be as nice then as it was that day.
- Pros:Excellent public transportation system; great place for walking; lots of history
- Cons:Expensive - especially with a weak dollar
- In a nutshell:Gotta go back!

Low prices and great selection - a blessing in view of London's high prices and the weak dollar. Tesco Express reminded... more travel advice

After reading reviews for more expensive hotels that contained words like "bedbugs" and "stains," I thought a Hilton... more travel advice

I stayed in London Kensignto Hilton Hotel on Dec. 10, 07. Rm.1078. The bathroom was very moldy. I couldn't open the bathroom door from inside. When I reported this, I was told the room was one of the best rooms on the floor.
Eastenders rocks! I didnt know you could pay with dollars... You learn something new everyday!!!
