London - verrry BIG city in southeast England

by aaaarrgh - last update: Sep 22, 2008

Hard to avoid. I have been visiting and staying in London regularly since I was 5 years old! What fun was had, walking dogs in Holland Park, beach-combing for hat-pins at Blackfriars and even walking the family tortoises outside Kew Gardens! So in theory I should know the place well. Maybe not so much as a tourist!!

In my view, London is a super place, quite wonderful, stimulating, lively and exciting!! The breadth of nationalities and cultures is immense. The city has many, many world famous attractions and a wealth of hidden treasures. New attractions, well worth a look, are appearing on the scene - the 'Millennium Eye', The Tate Modern Art Gallery, the annual Serpentine Pavilion in Hyde Park...

Pros:"Most people go here, lots live here and many great things happen here"
Cons:"Noisy, dirty, tourist overload, overhyped, dangerous in places, mayor is a buffoon"
In A Nutshell:"Of course its worth a serious visit but avoid the many tourist traps"
