"A Lifetime in London" a London Travel Page by phil_uk_net

The statue of Queen Boudicea can be found on the north-east corner of Westminster Bridge. She ruled the Iceni tribe and in 61 A.D. led a revolt against the Romans who occupied Britain at the time.

So much has been written about London that it was difficult to know where to start with this page. There are hundreds of guide books available as well as reams of information on-line, including some very good pages here on VT.
I think all I can do is tell you about some of the places I have experienced in the 40 something years that I have worked and lived in and around London. I hope you enjoy reading my pages but even more, I hope that you actually find them useful when you make that trip to London.

There seems to be a standing joke on VT that every London page starts with a picture of Big Ben. But did you know that Big Ben has a little brother? Find out where it is on my 'Off The Beaten Path' page.

I am fortunate to have worked at one time for a generous employer in London where dining out after work was a common occurrence. Eating out is also something I very much enjoy in my own time. You will therefore find a number of suggestions in my 'Restaurants' page.
London once had an appalling reputation for food but that is not the case these days. Every type of cuisine imaginable is available, and for all budgets. I have included several budget restaurants in an attempt to dispel the myth that it is not possible to eat cheaply in London. But I have also included some up-market places that you may wish to consider for those special occasions or just to treat yourself.
