...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.

SAFETY TIPS
------------------
**Hotels
First of all, it is recommended that tourists stay in a Hotel that is on the coastal road of Copacabana beach - Avenida Atlantico, or one of the coastal roads that run adjacent to Ipanema beach.
