Some faces are famous, even if they are only done in modelling clay.
The Science Museum has a wonderfully funny exhibition about the inventions of Wallace and Gromit.
Update August 2009:
I added some what to do tips. |
|  | Not just the Thames This picture was taken at Regent's Canal. Many boats have moored there,
adding their colours to the green foliage and the green water. Not exactly the picture that comes to one's mind when hearing of London, but also one of the many faces of this city. |
| Summer in Kensington Gardens |
| | I've been in love with London ever since I got separated from my youth group, got lost and found my way back all by myself at the age of thirteen, without speaking a single word of English.
Yes, I know it's a big difference if you're there as a tourist for a few days or if you're living there.
And,yes, I know it's an expensive city. (Do I know this!)
But it's still a city where you can turn around a corner or walk through a small gateway and suddenly you're in a completely different world.The many,many faces of this huge city! To experience this you have to walk, and London is a very walkable city.
You won't find any tips here about the Tower, Buckingham Palace or the Changing of the Guard, it's been ages since I last stood in these long queues.There's no need for any more of these tips anyway, as there are excellent pages about London on VT. So, just a few tips about hotels and some what-to-do suggestions. |

Excellent London travel page. Certainly bring back fond memories of our trip to London on several occasions. The city indeed has lots of attractions to offer to foreign tourists especially its museums. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang | Donna_in_India Thu Aug 27, 2009 15:44 UTC
This sounds like a very cool tour! I may be in the minority not being a huge HP fan but I really like that it is not a "movie" tour. (We saw some cool HP props at Warner Brothers Studio Hollywood this year.) | scottishvisitor Sun Mar 15, 2009 19:29 UTC
Nice new tips Christine = I like to see the rarer side of London. The hotel prices were the only reason I didn't visit last summer!! | robertgaz Thu Mar 12, 2009 23:37 UTC
So glad that you managed to fing that rare breed of family run hotels! Would love to have seen the inside of the cartoon museum ;~) |
