Things absolutely NOT to miss in London:


1. Visiting the world-famous British Museum, Tate Gallery and National Gallery
2. Visiting the Westminster Abbey and taking a good look at the Houses of Parliament
3. Adjusting your wrist-watch with a little help from Big Ben
4. Taking a trip on a traditional red double-decker bus;
5. Seeing the changing of the guard in front of the Buckingham Palace;
6. Visiting St. Paul's Cathedral;
7. Spending some quality leisure time in one of London's parks, as well as attending Hyde Park's 'Speakers' Corner' on a Sunday - you aare guaranteed some fiery debates;
8. Shopping in Oxford Street, Regent Street, at Harrod's, etc.
9. Attending at least one of the (justly) famed musicals;

...and, above all...

10. Having a good time!

Things London could very well do without:


1. Highly unpredictable weather: never, even on a brightest of the days, leave your home/hotel room without an umbrella;
2. Traffic jams and generally high transportation costs;
3. A notable amount of one over the eight (read: drunk) youths after pubs close down.

Chapter 2 to come really-really soon!
