London Travel Guide: 23,056 reviews and 47,246 photos

London has been one of the key world cities for many years. Today it is still a financial, fashion and tourist hotspot.

Although I've never lived in London, I've worked in the City and now I'm starting to discover it as a tourist.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Plenty to do all year round
  • Cons:Can be expensive
  • In a nutshell:However long you go for, it won't be long enough

    Excellent tip on Big Ben. A tourist trap, though? Interesting tips throughout. Great PICS, too. ~Elaine~

    Seems to be more of a "tip" than a "trap".

    I've never been on the London Eye.... 20 people in one capsule?? I never realised so many could fit in them! I wonder how the traffic is, now that a congestion charge has to be paid.
