...Having lived in north london for the past 3 years I have learned to both love and loathe the bus service. There are two fare tiers at present 70p for Outer London
and £1 for inner London. I use the bus service to travel around outer london as
it is regular, pretty reliable, cheap and never too busy. However I never use the bus service in central london as the roads are virtually in continual gridlock and it is quicker to use the tube or even walk. Most of the buses are relatively clean
but some of the drivers are far too grumpy for a job dealing with the public....

Advantages: Cheap and plenty Disadvantages: Far from city center
...This is definitely the best buffet eat all you can Oriental restaurant outside the London city. A tube to Colingdale, north of London and about 300 metres of walk down the road will bring you to a huge complex housing a restaurant and a lot of shops selling Oriental goods. The name of the place is Orient City. Food is excellent. You have a selection of over 100 items...more than you can eat. You only need to pay around 10 pounds and you can combine your lunch and dinner together. It is worth the money your are paying.
In fact, it is much better than any of the Oriental eat all you can in London city. That was so lousy and tasteless....

Advantages: Lovely City Disadvantages: Costly - Some areas are not what they seem.
...crime.All the ingredients of a run down place. This is evident even in broad day light and it`s no longer an area to be taken lightly.

Even the busy Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Cirus, here you will find lots of thieves on the prowl. They survey the area looking at waiting for the right opportunity.
So next time your down London just be more careful of what areas you plan to visit. London may be a nice place but it has many hidden dangers that not many tourists are aware of....
