"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 .
A copy of the A-Z (well-known street map sold at all newsstands / bookshops) is a worthwhile investment.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to London. Being an Essex boy and now an old retired git living in Vancouver Canada, I too find it great to take in London which I took for granted when living there, probably similar to you when you visit Mumbai. Thanks for your comments re my pages on the Taj Hotel. Trust you keep up their standards at your place in Sydney !
Kashi, lovely little page about this big metropolis. London is among my favourite cities in Western Europe.
Hello, Kashi! Thanks for your interesting page and fine pictures! ><><>< May I use them in my classroom?
Gorgeous photo dear, had to rate this high as the info helped me decide to add BP in our itinerary next yr, cheers!
Lovely detailed tips, have never been there, but hope to go sometime in the next couple of years! The Horse Guards are so elaborately dressed! :)
Kashi, I am leaving for UK this Saturday and will probably jump at Trafalgar, LOL...my sister will meet up with me and we'll jumping around Europe - have u met her? Her VT name is jumpingwithnorman...
I like your London page Kashi. Your picture of St James Park nicely captured.
Great page , tips & PICS of London. Does it still "swing"???Love that Arched Building, and the transport tips are excellent.
I wanna go London!!!
Nice start, plenty of good info. I'm headed to London in October and looking forward to it more and more. I'll come back for updates.
