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…

OK, it's free to get into St Andrews (obviously - it's a town!!) but when you're there you can spend as little or as much as you want.
Anyway...St Andrews is an amazing little seaside town on the East Coast of Scotland. It's home to Scotland's oldest university, and I think the third oldest in th…

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'…

I was expecting it to be muddy and had looked at loads of internet photos of floods and mud. But I never expected to learn so much about the omen that is MUD.
Types of Mud

This is the mud which squelches under your boots and makes weird noises. It is thick and comes…

It ranges to what you want to see as to what the cost. Walking the royal mile is interesting in it's self. Some on out tour group did the Mary's Kings Close did not enjoy it while others did. I enjoyed a late night Ghost tour (5 pounds) while others did not. Gotta pop into the Deacon Brodie Bar for …

I was born in this city and have lived here all my life. I have battled with every form of transport imaginable. It can be quite daunting to those unfamiliar with the options, but here are my favourite ways of getting around..
1) Walking: Zone 1 (according to the tube map) of London is a walker's…

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…

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.

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…

UK opening hours over Christmas
Check in advance, some people shut up early, and some people stay open all night.
The january sales are good fun, but if there's a park adn ride use that - parking is horrific. I've been in car park queues for 45 minutes at Lakeside - no exageration. If you ha…

As you may have noticed i hold a fairly negative view of Gravesend...and I'm writing this almost as a warning! Please bare in mind that i grew up here, and this is opinion!
One could describe it as exciting, if you're all about being chased by gangs of youths/twats, or being bored by awful touri…

The London Underground - "the tube" - is one of the oldest, most famous mass transit systems in the world. Mostly, it works very well, but there are things that you should bear in mind when using it.
The first is that decades of underinvestment, and then a new mayor, have combined to make the…

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…

I can't remember when I started to dream with London, but it was a long time ago.
After all the novels of Charles Dickens I had read, so many times hearing my mom's english lessons with tapes and books from England, and after all films filmed in London I had watch, I couldn't WAIT to go there!
So…
