The Goring, London

Advantages: Can get close to figures
Disadvantages: Queue for entry

...Preparing to be disappointed, following a visit as a youngster many years ago, I set off by popular demand from other half and kids to Madame Tussauds. There was, as ever, a considerable queue to get in. Having eventually got in, I was delighted to see that one of the first waxworks on display was Mr T! Many of the waxworks don't look too convincing, although there are a couple that look uncannily real. The kids were pleased to have their pictures taken with numerous 'stars' and overall the visit proved to be reasonable value for money. The Chamber of Horrors was a bit disappointing, was expecting more gore. Madame Tussauds could also provide a bit more information about the historical figures to provide a more educational experience so that one could learn more about the figures depicted....

Advantages: quick, cheap
Disadvantages: None

...The central line on the London Underground System provides easy access to Central London quickly and easily. This line reaches out to the far corners of London and beyond. I live about 20 miles from London but am able to get the tube from Epping and get into town in an hour. Not quite as quick as the over rail service but a lot cheaper and by getting a one day travel card I am free to go anywhere in London by bus or tube. This is excellent value for money. The service is, in the main, reliable and nearly always on time which makes a refreshing change from some services. The carriages are kept clean inside and staff are friendly and helpful....

Advantages: Many Things to Do and See
Disadvantages: Too Many Things to Do and See

...I've been a Londoner most of my life and I believe it's the best place to be. Alright we don't have the best weather in the world and the transport system could do with a bit of improvement, but in general if you want to get from the subhurbs into the city then the journey's not too bad and can take less than an hour. London has many things to do that most Londoner's don't reaslise until they have visitors from out of town - the museums of Kensington, London Zoo, the London Eye, the Aquarium, the list goes on and on. And as for the food, well London is the Cosmopolitan city in that respect. I Love London, but I wish I could spend a bit more time there... Read review
