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 can be a fascinating city, especially for one who has never been there before.
Places to see: How you conduct your trip ultimately depends on the time you have at your disposal. If you only have a few hours, the most advisable thing to do is to take a bus tour (such as those by the Big Bus…

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…

Hi,
I don't know what sort of things you like, but here are some random ideas from an almost-Londoner:
Free:
* All 'major' museums are free (Thank you Ken Livingstone - London's Mayor). Check out the Natural History Museum (as seen in Disney's 'One of our dinosaurs is missing' ;P).
* Whilst …

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…

If you are between 16 and 25 or a student and you plan to travel by train through United Kingdom, the Young Person Railcard could be useful. It takes off 1/3 of the price of most rail fares after 10AM, during week ends and bank and summer holidays. It costs 20£ and you can use it for one year.

Not a bad airline. The plane inside seemed kind of old but whatever. You get one of those flimsy little pillows but no blanket so that sucks. They have big TV’s all down the isles to watch movies so you will be able to see them wherever you are sitting. Although you have to buy their headphones wh…

pixie says:
I booked train tickets early and managed to get some very cheap tickets
for my destinations. The most expensive one I got was 14 pounds. But
you need to book single (aka one way) tickets, otherwise if you get
return tickets it costs a lot more. Go figure.
I used www.thetrainline.com to book m…

They were excellent from Japan to LA! Very happy with them and their service, etc. Great airline.
And you had trouble on Thai? Amazing -- they are unbelievably good, and I have been on them probably almost 10 times. The only airline I have been on which is better is Singapore. I disagree c…

There is a real problem with Ryanair charging for extra weight for baggage on their flights. Do not fly Ryanair, no joke. If your luggage weighs more than 6.9lbs you are in for a rude awakening. (Think about when you buy groceries equaling 6.9lbs or 15kgs. I have bought a roast weighing this much.) …

Hi Surely - agree with London Student that easiest & cheapest thing is to catch the Gatwick - Heathrow National Express bus, then the Heathrow - Cheltenham. The trains are indirect and very expensive becuase they go via Paddington. The bus journey's quite long and boring - I'd put aside at least…
