London Trip

by mxnxcx - last update: Mar 7, 2005

London

off Bond Street
London at night was great though .. we checked into the hostel .. it was a tall building with the front secure.. we walked into a locked front door ... and into the a common room, lots of couches and a tv... we checked in and walked up to our room and saw 6 bunk beds .. which i felt like a little orphan.

we bought the Tube pass which is an underground train to the embassay which we were 2 hours too early for .. but we walked and saw the stores in the neighborhood.

WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES.

It was a buestiful city .. cleaner and more friendly than NYC .. lots of tour buses (double deckers) and all the buildings were new and matched .. traffic and crowds but not too bad .. warmer weather than where i'm from in the North of UK.....

If you want to save some money ... simply get to the RIVER and everything is down the road .. Start at the Big Ben, you will see the London Bridge, London Eye, Parliment, Julibee Walk, Princess Di Walkway, and down a large road you will see the Palace ... Easy to get around ... Stayed in Zone 1 and 2 out of 6 ... explore and enjoy

Locals

I had crazy amount of LUCK

or everyone here is just extremely friendly .. everywhere me and my friend looked they smiled or were extremly sweet ...sorta nice though

this local told us to find the river and make our own walking tour all the must sees are in a line .. so go for it .. he took us around so it made it even easier

i talked to another Brit .. and he says london people are nice if are visiting but the locals arent nice to one another .. so maybe it was jsut travelers luck .. but it worked in my favor ...

 Interesting page Monica. You are right about one thing, Londoners have no time for each other!! But will usually try to help tourists.
