...here is honestly priced, for London and what it is, and you definitely always get what you pay for!

Advantages: You could live there for a long time
Disadvantages: You could live there too long

...they have been living in London for an extended period of time So to celebrate my 2-year anniversary of living in the Big Smoke, here's an ever-so-slightly tongue in cheek guide to "You know that you've been living in London too long when...." 1. You say "the City" and expect everyone to know which one 2. You have never been to The Tower or Madame Tussauds but love Brighton 3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Shepherds ...
...So there we have it, I'm sure anyone who's spent any time living in London can identify with some of those. Personally I was horrified when I realised that I've done no.29 on a number of occasions!! Hope it brought a smile to your face... ... Read review

I have lived in London all my life and have grown up loving this city. So I thought, for those who have not yet been I would share my thoughts on the sites to see in MY city!! Shopping. There are so many places in London to go shopping!! If you want to go to huge size High Street shops then your best bet is Oxford Street. To get here just get off at Oxford Circus tube station. Opposite the tube station, is the HUGE Topshop, which is the largest ...

Advantages: my story about london
Disadvantages: might be too personal, not just facts, but my experience

London through the eyes of a Dutch girl, this could get interesting. I decided to write an op, because I fell in love with London, and I have only been there once. Please note that I descibed our first day in London, the way I experienced it. You won't read any facts about London, just my view. I warned you.. HOW IT STARTED -------- I wanted to go on a vacation for the summer, but my boyfriend wasn't quite interested, because it would costs a ...
...KLM, and we arrived in London Heathrow in less then 45 minutes. ON OUR WAY -------- We bought a London Travelcard for 6 zones, and got on the tube. We were really surprised that all the tubes actually got there on time, and we laughed a little about the driver saying 'please mind the gap between the train and the platform' at each station. When we stopped at this station (I can't remember the name) we saw this London Underground sign, and there ... Read review

Advantages: great city, friendly people, a lot of "sights"
Disadvantages: none

...suitcase for a trip to London I had few visions of this city: many people, noise and mud! But I had to ascertain that it isn´t like in my "horror-visions" - I have never visited a city like London: warm, friendly and the cleanest I´ve ever seen! Of course there were more people than in our german cities or villages; surely it´s the capital of the United Kingdom. But although there was many people, everyone of them was friendly and was (for example) ...
...stayed in London I have never seen any rubbish or mud on the streets. (Not like here in Germany; here it looks worse.) The noise was not like the one I imagine, just at Piccadilly Circus it is a little bit louder (caused by the heavy traffic). The inducement to travel to the UK was that my class gratuaded the last year my old school. I was not happy when I heard that our teacher planned each minute of our voyage. Every day from the morning to the ... Read review
