Sometimes i absolultely love London, and sometimes i cant even stand being there. I dont live there but i do like to go at least once a year. People's thoughts about the capital will all depend on when they go and what they do while theyre there. Last time i went was 2 days after Christmas 08 and i can safely say i will never go there again during the sales!! I was meeting a friend from Canada and a friend from France at the time so i cant complain about the company at all. Neither of them had been to London before so it was all down to me to entertain them and do the tourist stuff with them. (Not that i complained at the time). I havent even done all the ...  Read the complete review

One thing you have to say about London and that is that you can never get bored visiting the place as there is simply so much to do and despite the moans by the inhabitants it is also very easy to get around thanks to its excellent tube system supported by buses, taxes nd also those little cycle cabs that populate the tourist areas. While it is crowded and not the most breah taking of places visually there is so much history around you that it is well worth a visit. London has a great nightlife with loads of great clubs for dancing and partying and lots of bars, there is a great theatre district to see some quality plays and musicals as well as ...  Read the complete review
