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.

Cathay Pacific flight from LHR-HKG: It has been a while since I flew Cathay Pacific. I especially remember my flight segment from London’s Heathrow airport to Hong Kong (LHR-HKG). The aircraft was clean and the service team knew what they were doing, but what caught my attention was the fact that …

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…

London’s Gatwick South Airport: I flew in from Entebbe to London for the first time through Gatwick South terminal, normally I use Heathrow airport.

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.

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…

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…

Innerwick and it's environs. Some less charitable locals refer to Innerwick as the village of the damned and it has been suggested that The Wicker Man was affectionately based on a historical incident when an "outsider" moved into the small village from the nearby city of Edinburgh. Now in the 2000'…

Jbo is right, although it has to be saidd that bargains are out there. When I moved in I had a place in Wembley then a place in Holloway, both non-sharing rooms and both less than £400 a month with 1 month deposit. I saved about £25 a week by cycling and shopped carefully.
I recommend food shop…

Take Bill Bryson's advice- go to Durham! In fact, he just became the new chancellor of the University of Durham since Sir Peter Ustinov's passing a year or two ago. Isn't that exciting? Get a degree there and Bill Bryson will shake your hand :)
It's just a beautiful town. Period. Gorgeous cathedral…
