I found the London Pass to be a good idea also. Their book lists a lot of things to do, and gives discounts to do them. You can also get multi-day transportation passes. When I go, I get their pass, and a travel pass that starts the day I arrive. I then take the Underground into London from Heathrow...

First of all, I do love London. I do not love the expense, but there are many ways to manage to visit and still not come away broken by ending up broke. First of all, taxis cost a bomb. This is a given. Get a day or a week pass for the transportation system - at Underground stations and at some merc...

kazarre says:
This is way too expensive. If you are going to travel around the south maybe you should bet a railcard for 20 quid. This will save you a 3rd off all your train fares (you can use it for 3 other people too - so definitely worth it if you are with a group). An example - it cost £6.75(single) which ...

It’s exactly like Wal-Mart! And I love Wal-Mart. You can find almost anything here for really reasonable prices. So great.

Eric says:
If you are only going to London, Paris, and Venice, buying point to point train tickets would probably be the best bet. Since those are all popular destinations, the trains probably run pretty frequently. There are a variety of train options, but unless you want to stop at every town along the way, ...

The weather is very unpredictable in London. Make sure you have clothes for all the seasons. I went there in May of this year and I experienced the heat, rain, hail, and back to sunny all in the same day. Umbrella is a must when you go out. It seemed to rain a lot even on th...

I travelled to London with 20 of my friends. It was a blast I had the time of my life!! Now I am 19 years old, so first things first we were excited that we were of legal age to drink. So we stayed at a really nice hotel called St. Giles, located right in central London. The rooms were your typical ...

I'm writing this review to cover a very few items not covered in one I just read. My experience with this wonderful train ride was during our Spring 2005 trip. It was a part of the Globus Tour we were on so I don't really know what the price was. I do know that they were having trouble with some...

London is an amazing city!!!
Things to do:
There is always something to do in London. I generally like to get a brief overview of a city before getting into serious sightseeing mode. Taking a bus tour is a good way to not only see some sights, but to also get an idea of the layout of the ci...

British food didnt strike me as being in particularly tasty, but I absolutely fell in love with fish-n-chips, which are sold on almost every corner of the city. Make sure to visit a variety of pubs, where you can try all sorts of local and imported beers.

Hi Laineeey
Definitely pack for all seasons as per previous advice. Being from that part of the world, it can get pretty cold at the time of year you are travelling and you can pretty much guarantee some rain whilst you are visiting our shores - English rain is cold and very wet!
Travelling on the...

Personally, I would recommend a pair of comfortable walking shoes, lots
of pockets, and a good jacket. And don't forget plenty of spending
money. London is a fascinating place to shop. Make sure you visit
Covent Garden!
Happy traveling!

London is quite easy to get around. As long as you are not planning long visits to museums and galleries it is possible to explore it in a really short time. A plan with things you want to see and a tube map is a must.
It is very difficult to write anything else as I don't know what you are interes...

I wanted to give you a little feedback on Bunac. I personally have not traveled with them; however, I worked for several years at a camp in PA, and it was an international staff. All the staff that came over from England and Scotland came over via Bunac. Bunac paid for the airplane tickets over to t...

If you just need to get around in London and are not leaving the city itself, take the tube. Do not put yourself through the stress of driving in the city itself. Purchase a pre-paid Oyster Card for the tube. The tube is an excellent way to get around in London. Another plus is that you can go t...
