Sleeping Beauty Motel, London

Advantages: great views of london, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: only lasts half an hour

...I went on the London Eye some time last summer, when the evenings were light and the sky was clear. It turned out to be the perfect time to go - about 9pm on a cloud-free June evening, and the sun is setting just about the time you get to the top of the wheel. We could literally see for miles - I can't remember the exact distance but I think our guide person pointed out Windsor castle, and that must be about 25 miles away. So you can imagine the spectacular views of London you get from going on the London Eye. Even though I live in London it was a fun experience - I've always enjoyed doing touristy things here and it was great to see all the major sights in London during one half-hour ride. And we had the benefit of a beautiful sunset. I would definitely recommend it, but make sure you choose your day and time wisely.... Read review

...London is one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has virtually everything you need. The best Parks , Museuems , Restaurants , Shops , not to mention all the beautiful attractions it has on offer. Thousands of tourists flock into London year after year without actually being informed of the hidden dangers that one can encounter on the streets of London. London has now become the most expensive city in Europe. The cost of living has escalated over the last ten years making London a more difficult place to live in. Not only is it expensive but crime has increased and many of London`s areas are suffering. Kings Cross London once a popular area is now known as "Crack City".It`s no longer a pleasant area to walk through. The streets are contaminated with drug dealers , drug addicts , prostitution , homeless people and lots of high... Read review
