Favorite Thing: I know its just a bus, but its what makes London special. The double decker red busses are part of experiencing London and so I highly recommend riding them. The great thing is that if you have an all day travel card from the Underground, it also works for the bus too! Of course if you really want to get somewhere fast, use the underground as traffic in central London is bumper to bumper most of the time. If you have time though, take a ride!
Fondest Memory: On the bus, riding around London around Christmas time with all the beautiful decorations was one of my favorite memories. Despite the slow moving traffic, it just gave me more time to appreciate how great London is.

Favorite Thing: On my way to Edinburgh, Scotland via Kings Cross I made a point to go and find the 9 3/4 platform so famously portrayed in the Harry Potter movies and books. I wasn't really expecting a whole platform, it turned out to just be a wall with a sign of the numbers 9 3/4, but as a Harry Potter fan, I still thought it was pretty cool.

Favorite Thing: I know that some people may think its cliche... but hey, lighten up! Try some! And I'm not talking about the stuff you get at nice restaurants, but the greasy stuff you get at local fish and chip stores.
Fondest Memory: Coming back after a long, but fun day tired... satisfied... and starving... the chip ship around the corner was a godsend! I know its cheaply made food and its greasy, but hey, I'm on vacation! And all the walking around that you do in London should offset all the calories... I hope! Greasy chips is a great late night snack!
