This is a great little book to have with you for reference, as it is full of maps- London, the theatre district, railway connections, and a full tube railway map. It’s very useful to have in your purse or backpack. I used it quite a bit.

If you don't fancy catching the heathrow express and want to save a few quid, I recommend catching a South West train to Feltham and then getting a bus from Feltham to Heathrow.
Slightly slower than Heathrow express (but not by much) depending on where you are. But a lot cheaper.
It actually…

I am not kidding; this is by far the best and most accommodating place to book a tour in London, England. You can book a city tour of London itself or go out to the Cotswolds and Bath (to see Stonehenge). There are so many options to choose from that there is no way I could list them all here. Do…

For cheap transport around the UK check out the National Express buses. They are super handy and their fun fares are only 1 pound. I managed to travel from Victoria Station to Bournemouth return for only 2 pound. The station is a handy 5 minute walk from Victoria train station. The fare to Bright…

The London metro is simply one of the most convenient ways of getting around the city. The locals call it the "tube." There are metro stations strategically placed throughout the city. As one enters any station, one can get tickets via a machine or an actual employee. There are several types of tick…

London is a world within a city. According to the tastes of each one,
London has something to offer always different. To my I like relax,
the tranquillity, and that I have found it in Greenwich and Kew
Gardens. Sites both very easy to arrive in tube.

So I don't have any pictures of a London bus for whatever reason, but I was watching the Graham Norton Show and was reminded of the night bus. For anyone looking for a good time late night, I recommend spending some time riding around on the night bus in London. There are alot of crazy people in thi…

I recommend food shop…

An excellent way to get from London to Amsterdam is by the Rail & Sail deals of the Stena Line. My 77 Pound ticket for the trip was a real bargain. Twenty-two Pounds of that fare covered a cabin on the ship which is required for the overnight crossing. A cabin is not required for the daytime crossin…
