A dream became reality!

London has always been my dream.
But everybody knows that London is very expensive.
Well, this is only a myth to disprove!
It depends by you.
I stayed in London in July 2001 with a total budget (transportation, eating, extras..) of 350 EUR.
A friend of mine stayed there in same year (for a week) a budget of 1000 EUR. Another friend of mine with a budget of about 2000 EUR!

Brixton

One of my favourite place in London is Brixton, at south of Thames.
Here you can find small street markets, nice people and many coulors, sounds and tastes.
Be carefull, I had nice time in Brixton, but people say that it's a dangerous neighbourhood.
For more picture see in 'must see actvity' section.

South of Thames

Also Long Lane is at south of Thames, very close to the famous Abbey street.
I like these residential neighbourhood. Here you can find real people, and cheap prices, you can drink a coffee for 0.5£ (=0.8EUR=0.86$).

    I havent come across any trouble in Brixton in all my years there, but I guess shooting kids in the McDonalds in broad daylight is hardy "safe"!!!

    London, presented in a different way and also many pics taken from a most unusual angle; great to see pages on VT that do not follow the main stream;

    yes, London's an expensive city alright! But it's a must of course and with a little thought, any budget works here!
