"London for Dummies?" London by HAROLD_PR

Greater London is the greatest

A couple of my friends live in London. I visited them this year and spent about two weeks meandering around the area (south east.) London was the obvious stop and what I saw did not disappointed me at all.

London is an impressive city. It has something for everybody; from shopping, to nightlife, to culture activities; London has something for you.

My experience there was good. It is as expensive as your cousin told you. I spent a lot there even "without notice."

The people I met in London were not tourists (luckily.) I can't tell you that they are the friendliest people I have ever seen. I heard about Londoners, and yes, they do fit the stereotype quite well. I guess I can say that everything I expected (except for the crowd of Austin Powers walking around) was true.

As I gather my pictures from the trip, I will put together a simple page "for Dummies" of for travelers with limited time.

My tips are never too useful. Although I use this website, with all its valuable data for all my travels, I threat my pages more as a journal or a diary.

Hope you enjoy this very short page, if I ever finish it.
