LONDON..a world metropolis

by mallyak - last update: Sep 16, 2008

Whats the weather like????

"In London all they ever do is talk about the weather. But no one does a damn thing about it."Some famous author said these words and its true..It has the most unpredicatble weather in the world and we had a 3 day stay which fortunately was not hampered too much by rain.
If you’re coming for the sun, then plan for late July- August .

Firts things first-Buy a street map!

A copy of the A-Z (well-known street map sold at all newsstands / bookshops) is a worthwhile investment.
Free public transport maps and information are available from London Transport Information offices at the following principal stations and airports: Euston, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, St. James Park, Victoria opposite Platform 8, Heathrow Underground Station, Hammersmith Underground Station.
