1. Hop On Hop Off bus (http://www.theoriginaltour.com/): I paid 18 pounds and the ticket was good for 48 hours. Very good for hitting a lot of the major London sights.
2. Tower of London (http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/) and Towe…

This had to be one of the coolest stores, ever! The whole idea of it just amazes me. First off, it offers everything. You can find anything from MP3 players, to dishes, to movies. We bought an airbed because I needed something to sleep on during my stay at my friend’s place. The set up of the…

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…

First, about eating cheap... FISH AND CHIPS.
There are F&C places all over the place and everyone (even stiff businessmen) walks around with a handfull of chips, eating as they go. They usually offer alternatives to fish (Chicken, burgers, and such), but not much.

Definitely prepare yourself for rain. It doesn't matter the season (I find) when you're visiting the UK, you'll have rain at some point. And it was getting quite a bit cooler by the time I left a week ago, so try to bring some clothes for layering, especially if you're going in and out of buildings.…

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…

One of the world's first underground train systems, is now one of the best (when it works) and most expensive systems in the world.
Loads of stations and routes expanding from central London like a spider's web, to tourists, this can be a bit complex to understand, espeically from going A to B a…

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 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…

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.

I actually have a blog about this called "London on the Cheap", but I thought I would put it in travel tips as well.
This is the short version:
1) Eating and Drinking
For a cheap night out as far as food, you should try to find a JD Wetherspoons. It is a chain, and usually has names like Mis…
