London in General Reviews

London could be considered one of the most international cities in the world. I have travelled extensively around the world however there are few places like London. With the cosmopolitan and diverse population, London is the central meeting point for people all over Europe and the world. Many friends from Europe have told me that they prefer ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Having lived in London for a couple of years now and before then being a frequent visitor I thought that it was about time I wrote a tourist guide to London. This review is based on my experiences of London and there are still a lot of great things in London that I haven't had a chance to try, so obviously they will not be included in this ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I have a very good friend in London who I have visited regularly for the last few years. Whilst in London I like to see and do different things but there are a few things that I keep returning for. I really enjoy a weekend in London as I can get away from the stress of work and life in Cornwall and head off for an action packed weekend...I always ...  Read the complete review

London is expensive, everybody knows it. But as far as a tourist visit goes, the best things in London are free! What follows is my own tour of important London free of charge sights and attractions. Get sturdy shoes, drink and food, a rainproof and sunglasses and let's get going, starting with a walk that would take in a lot of major ...  Read the complete review

PLEASE NOTE: This IS about London, but not the well trodden bits! Having read MrChilliwillie’s excellent Home Town Challenge on Shrewsbury, I got to thinking about where I live, but couldn’t for the life of me identify my own hometown. Lost, no sense of direction? No, it’s just that I live in one of the outer ...  Read the complete review

This started as a response to proxam's challenge, but it's taken me so long, it's probably too late to be part of that. Ah well, here's the opinion. Oh, it's long. Apologies in advance if you like opinions short and to the point. Writing about one's home town presents a problem if you live in London. The place is ...  Read the complete review

The allure and free availability of foreign travel these days has tended to cloud the attractions of destinations closer to home. Turning our eyes away from the distant west for once we recently spent a delightful week in London on a City break holiday. Even though it was April, the weather was cold and windy but dry and we filled our time with a ...  Read the complete review

Do you know your capital well? Do you know it at all? I know Berlin, but not as well as I know London, this being the city I’ve visited most often. How often? I’ve wrecked my brain and have remembered thirteen visits, from two days to three months. I’ve been there on my own, with a friend, with my husband and six or seven ...  Read the complete review

Had to go to London for a meeting on Monday afternoon. I did not want to drive there and back in the one day and British rail was out of the question (see previous review). I decided to Drive down Sunday and stay over night in a Formule 1 Hotel in Barking. This would give me the opportunity of seeing some of the sights. I have not been to ...  Read the complete review

I love London. It is my favourite place in the UK. Why? Well, it is an exciting place to get away from it all. Now, I love breaks and holidays. I love just getting away. London is thoroughly reccomended to anyone wanting to escape on a Leisure break for any duration. There are more than enough hotels although I look and stay at well ...  Read the complete review

I?ve visited Camden several times now and it is certainly one of my favourite parts of London. Well first of all, where is Camden? It?s in northwest London and can be easily reached by tube or bus. If travelling by tube Camden Town is on the Northern Line (the black coloured line on a London Underground map). Buses run to Camden from most major ...  Read the complete review

LONDON I have now lived in London for 10 years. I moved here as a student & since then I have got married & had children. I will try to write about London as best as I can, but really I would need a whole book to put everything worth mentioning down! TRANSPORT London is very well served by public transport being the capital. ...  Read the complete review

I have selected a portion of the best places to go in London so when you visit you can check them out: Shopping. There are so many places in London to go shopping!! If you want to go to huge size High Street shops then your best ...  Read the complete review

A very general guide for a visit to London. I would not explain anything that is not well known by anyone familiar with London, so you can skip this opinion if this is you case. If you have never been to or you got lost or confused your last time here, you are allowed to continue reading. For the trip, there are always hundreds of ...  Read the complete review

I went to London in 2000 for a short summer UK break because I hadn't been and it seemed like a lovely city. I booked the train which didn't cost that much and then after a 4 hour journey arrived in London King's Cross. I was staying at a youth hostel in St Pancras so it was quite central and near an underground with all the ...  Read the complete review

If I were to take my life in London seriously I would become an incredibly boring individual. As it is I love this city and never tire of its charm. Every corner holds a fascination for me and even in my darker moments, I cannot help but smile at the sheer lunacy of it all. Picture the scene. I step off the tube at Embankment station and ...  Read the complete review

As a child growing up in the 1950’s, one of my fondest memories is going with my family, on our regular Sunday walks. We lived in flats in Tooley Street, eight floors up, and every Sunday, after a roast dinner, we would take the short walk from our flats over Tower Bridge, to meander along the side of the River Thames. It did not matter ...  Read the complete review

I think it was Samuel Johnson that said, “When you’re bored of London, then you’re bored of life”. Well, I’m bored and I want to go home! Let me explain. I lived in London for 6 years, and managed to escape from it just over a year ago. Let me continue to explain. London is ...  Read the complete review
