...in the last five or so years then you will not recognize the new London. Central London (Soho, Picadilly, Shaftsbury avenue, Leicester Sq, Tottenham Ct Rd, Oxford Circus etc) is buzzing and the atmosphere is very European ~ the streets are vibrant & exciting ~ packed out pubs, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, shows, theatres and wine bars, not just the weekends but also weekdays. London offers diversity & its nightlife is right up there with the other top European cities, attracting more & more people to its trendy & vibrant streets, where you can enjoy and soak up atmosphere until the early hours of the morning.
One of the more exclusive venues in central London is Café De Paris ~ this venue has been around since 1924 & is still rocking in 2002. Having survived the War & all the changes that came with it, Café De Paris has an amazing & glitzy...

Advantages: BEAUTIFUL Disadvantages: Not for the none walkers of us
...I went up the Picos De Europa Mountain range as part of my Duke of Edinburgh expedition.
I have to say, it was possibly the most beautiful mountain range i have ever encountered.
I am really into my mountaineering. At the end of september i am walking up the national 3 peaks in 24 hours so if any of you live near ben nevis, scafell or snowdon, come and say hello. The support would be muchly appreciated.
Picos de europa however. I found the best time to start walking was around 5/6 am and walk till about 12/1 pm as the heat at points was unbearable. Especially when you are at the top of a cold mountain and cant feel the heat because of the wind. (It can be dangerous and can get sun stroke instantly)
The Picos de Europa forms the apex of the Cordillera Cantabrica and is the third highest mountain range in Spain after...
