London Travel Guide

everything you would expect from a Capital City with a lot of history and more, and the good news now thanks to the irresponsibility of bankers worldwide is that London is not as expensive to visit as it has been for the last 10 or more years.

The pound hasn’t quite sunk without trace though, it still has some value but because the London’s economy is so closely linked to banking and financial services the pound was hit pretty hard and that means that your Dollar, Yen or Euro is going to buy so much more.

When people talk about London or indeed England they usually mention rain, but because of global warming summers in London are warm to hot these days, and that makes sightseeing a dream and it has to be said there are so many sights both old and new to see, the Queen and The London Eye are on the top of most people’s list, but those lists will just goes on and on.

One great way to take in most of the sights of London is a river trip, because like most very old cities London was built on first one then both banks of a river, in London’s case the River Thames.

From a river boat you will be able to take in the Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, The South Bank Arts Complex, The Globe Theatre a reproduction of a theatre from the time of Shakespeare, the Tower of London while gliding effortlessly under famous bridges like London Bridge and Tower Bridge and of course see so much more.

As well as the river London is famous for large open spaces of green and you can escape from the almost constant noise of this City that simply refuses to sleep for a moment into the delightful parks like St. James’ Park which lies behind Downing Street where the British Prime Minister has his official residence.

Surprisingly you can wander the length of the Mall and still be in St James’ Park down passed Duck and even Pelican Ponds to Buckingham Palace where the Queen of Great Britain has her official residence.

You can even check to see if she is at home by looking to see if the Royal Standard is flying above the Palace. You will be lucky to see her ‘at home’ though because the Queen favours Windsor Palace which is about 20 miles to the west of London where it is quieter and less polluted.

London is a sightseers’ dream, there is always something around the corner, from the blue plaque on the wall of the flat where Jimi Hendrix died at the back of Oxford Street to the beautifully restored St Pancras station now home to the International Rail (Channel Tunnel) Rail Service but for so many years a derelict condemned building.

At night even more of London comes alive and as well as being able to enjoy some excellent free live music in the caf?and bars there is the exciting sight of the river-scape alive with lasers lights and often fireworks.

London is not to be missed and that is why it is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and so it is probably no surprise that there are enough hotel beds in London to sleep the populations of dozens of major cities worldwide!

The surprise would be that most of these hotel beds are booked well in advance and so careful planning is required to get a great hotel at just the right price.

A good way to do that would be to use a website where you can compare prices and availability, though there are dozens of these here is an honest recommendation bookingspot.

Ingredients for Great London Restaurant Guide

Take one New York woman send her to London to work, make her go cold turkey to remove the last trace of Little Debbies and hot dogs. Then re-invent her as a fully certified food enthusiast and then get her to start a successful London restaurant review.

Over the last four years Londonelicious has become the quintessential light hearted guide to everything foodie in the great smogopolis. The blogs logo reads like an advertisement in the lonely hearts column of the Evening Standard “American girl, loves food, and London, but not cooking”

The about me section of the blog includes a confession that she started visiting London’s restaurants as a way to get out and explore the real London, and meet the locals, and discover the food.

She was over-powered with enthusiasm for the great and awful London restaurant’s she found on her travels around the corners of the capital. Eventually she decided to let others find out about her discoveries, she started up her own London restaurant guide to delicious London and Londonelicious was born.

The momentous task of telling the world about every last little eating place in London was obviously too much for one stomach and two typing fingers so other London Restaurant enthusiasts began to join her online world.

Before long there were many food-nuts writing their own opinionated opinions of all things eating out with a fun, clear and concise London Restaurant Guide that goes where others fear to tread.

There are page after page of wonderful London restaurant reviews that step outside of the usual way of looking at the cities eating places. Anywhere that has a table and food may be included, ok they don’t all have tables.

Reviewers have visited hundreds of establishments from the very trendiest Sunday Times must eat places to little London restaurants and café’s that other critics have never heard of.

Sometimes the intrepid bloggers wish they had never “discovered” some of these dubious food backwaters. But all the disappointment is worth the effort when real undiscovered London restaurant gold is struck.

The team are all of the same view, they like food and love searching for new food experiences. They are all amateurs, but they are accomplished amateurs, people who just like eating out and enjoying an evening of food delights.

You can join in their travels though the cobbled back alleyways and hip reception areas of the London’s most exiting and interesting foodie haunts. They leave no stone unturned or bottle of wine uncorked in their efforts to share the excitement that is London eating.
