    5 Stars Five Days In London 29/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages so much to see . . .

    Disadvantages Disadvantages . . . so little time

    Do you know your (UK) capital well? Do you know it at all? I know Berlin, but not as well as I know London, this being the city I´ve visited most often. How often? I´ve wracked my brain and have remembered thirteen visits, from two days to three months. I´ve been there on my own, with a friend, with my husband and six or seven times (I really can´t remember as I don´t go there regularly) with a group of students. Over the years I´ve perfected the programme of the excursions with my students and now it´s more or less the same with only slight variations whenever I go; I´d like to take you with ... more

    5 Stars Free Capital 17/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages if you are tired of London... etc

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lots of people, lost of cars, lots of money

    London is expensive, everybody knows it. But as far as a tourist visit goes, the best things in London are free! What follows is my own tour of important London free of charge sights and attractions. It's not an "insider" look at hidden delights of London, I rarely if ever stray of the beaten track. All I attempt is to show to a reader that doesn't know the city that a lot of recognised major sights can be enjoyed without spending much or any money. This was written originally for a different website with international readership and thus it assumes a reader who is a foreigner. But let us ... more

    5 Stars London in Bits and Bobs Review with images 20/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages One of the world's great cosmopolitan centers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages So much city . . . so little time

    London in Bits and Bobs •••Overview••;• Who can ever truly know this city? Perhaps if one is born and reared here, spends one's private and professional life here, explores its history, and indulges one's fancy on its many cultural venues--maybe, given all that, it is possible to begin to know London. For the rest of us, the best we can hope for is to grab hold of and appreciate small corners of this marvelous city. Himself and Yours Truly have dropped in on London several times now over a good many years, and each time we visit, London provides us with a new ... more

    4 Stars London - a day out 04/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Big place lots to do and many things to see

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a big place - can be dirty and a bit grim at times

    London - a day out As with all my reviews, the names of the participants have been witheld to protect the innocent - me that is !! So it's around January 2000, I'm doing contract work in Leatherhead and being paid wads of cash for my troubles. The problem with Leatherhead is there isn't a lot to do apart from the pubs - Epsom is about the nearest place with cinemas, restaurants and theatres, but even that is quite limited. ********************* Accommodation in Leathehead: (yeah right) Hotels : Bookham Grange - 3 miles - In Bookham £95 per night http://www.bookham-grange.co.uk/accommod​ation ... more

    3 Stars The Pig-a-Dilly Line 03/05/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Links many vital venues in London

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hot, sweaty, rubbish-strewn, unreliable. Unsuited to luggage

    Riddle: Where can you travel through 10 consecutive Underground stations that all begin with “H” without getting off the train? Answer: at the Heathrow end of the Piccadilly Line! (From Hounslow East and back again round the loop). It's amazing what trivia you can come up with when, because you have no elbow room to unfurl a newspaper, the tube map is all there is to read if you are to avoid those "are you lookin' at my bird?" confrontations. I should know, I have used the Piccadilly Line almost continually since I started work in 1968 until I “jacked it in” in 2000. My ... more

    1 Star Nightmare on Euston Road Diamond review 21/06/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of possible destinations.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overpriced, overcrowded, overrun with the dregs of society.

    Do you dare to enter a world of terror? Will you walk among the dregs of society, enter a world of filth and depravity with only your innocence and purity as a shield from the demons that lay in wait for the unwary? Do you dare? Then take my hand and I shall walk with you, unflinching and unafraid, together we shall descend into the depths, into the Pit, and may God have mercy on our immortal souls. Kings Cross Station. To a Londoner, or anyone from the south of England, it is the gateway to the northeast and freedom. To anyone from the north, native or tourist, it is the first step on the ... more

    4 Stars The London Underground - Central line 14/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good way to see London

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dirty and old

    One of the busiest transport networks in the entire world is based right here in London. Its common name is "the Underground" a name adopted in the 1930's along with its famous Red circle and Blue stripe through. Yet the tube network was started much earlier in the late 1800's. The underground was a complex maze of tunnels constructed deep underground to solve the transport problems that were beginning to affect London. Lack of space was an issue above so the answer was found below. One of the lines that runs deep underground is called the Central Line. It is the most heavily used by commuters ... more

    5 Stars London : The Site for Movies 27/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Vibrant cosmopolitan city. Lots of celebrities to see

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    London has been the site for a surprisingly large number of Oscar-winning, box-office hits. 101 Dalmatians, which starred Glen Close, Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson, a live-action version of the greatly --loved Disney Cartoon, was shot in and around London. Major locations included Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Burlington Arcade, Battersea Park and Kenwood House in Hampstead. Elizabeth, directed by Shekhar Kapur, focused on the situation where the young Queen Elizabeth inherited a nation wracked by internal religious conflict as a result of the rule of her father King Henry VIII and ... more

    5 Stars Comedy Store - A belly full of laughs 12/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great fun, barrel full of laughs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages get there early or book

    The Comedy Store in Coventry street nr Leicester Square in London is without doubt the funniest night out you can have in the capital. Set in a dark basement, the Comedy Store probably fits a good 200 people sitting in a horseshoe around the stage in 2 tiers. Entering from the back, one turns left to the bars and right to the heads. There are 2 performances a night, at 8 and at 12. Both usually will feature the same act. The comedy and venue are a combination that has to be experienced. Four acts perform over 2 halves hosted by a compere, normally up and coming or 'made' comedians. It's better ... more
