London - Europe's thrilling metropolis

by HORSCHECK - last update: Feb 16, 2008

London Tower Bridge at night (02.07)

Since 1987 I have been to London more than 10 times for both holidays and business trips. London with an estimated population of more than 9 Mio. inhabitants is huge, exciting, multi-cultured, cosmopolitan and always worth a visit. In fact it is among my favourite cities in Europe.

It offers countless historic sights from Big Ben to the Tower of London. The newer must-see activities include the London Eye and the Tate Modern. Famous squares, markets and events don't let you feel bored. Green Parks like Hyde Park or Regent's Park invite for a relaxing rest in between a busy sightseeing day.

Last but not least London is well placed for daytrips by public transportation to the surrounding area. Among these are the royal enclave Windsor, the university town Oxford or the resorts on the English southcoast with Brighton being the most popular.

Pros:"Plenty to see and do for everyone."
Cons:"Not the cheapest place on earth, but worth every penny!"
In A Nutshell:"Europe's thrilling metropolis."

 Good updates Holger! South Ealing is my local station and has a unique feature among all tube stations - do you know what that is?

 London is also one of my favourite cities in the world! I really enjoyed reading of your latest VT meetings there but also your Sports tips - since I love football and rugby! My wife's parents used to live beside Gatwick, so I'm familiar with the area.
