A Quick Guide to London





Planning for vacations in London? Then let me shortly and briefly tell more about London so that you can plan accordingly and enjoy it to its maximum!
London is one of the worlds most sought after city for vacations as it is a beautiful amalgamation of historic buildings, well-known museums and galleries and of course one of the best USP is its dining, clubbing, entertainment and now a new range of boutique hotels. Location
London being the capital of UK is located beside river Thames. Connected by several airports, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stanstead, and with direct train links to the continent via the Channel Tunnel, and to the rest of the UK via domestic operators, the capital is comfortable to approach.
Staying options
New boutique hotels are these days hot favorite among tourists and there are also expensive hotels alongside smaller guesthouses. These hotels have immaculate service which are stylish and also have a real atmosphere rather than one manufactured by the marketing department of a large hotel chain, staying in one of these hotels can only make your trip to London more pleasurable and unforgotten experience.
Hot spots
You should indeed plan your itinerary well in advance so that you can enjoy maximum in limited time that you have and also don’t miss on anything. There’s so much going on in London that even the residents don't see it all. You can see historical Tower of London or St. Paul's Cathedral for example; some of the treasures and paintings in the museums and galleries; a show in the West End and some great drinking and dining. You can also take assistance of the reception staff to help you in planning and also they can help you buy tickets. And yes, to capture those delightful moments of your stay make sure that you have your camera with you while making a long list of the things you want to do the next time you visit.
How to navigate
London has a up to date public transport system.
A widespread underground network takes you to all parts of the city, and you will be priced on a "zone" basis, that makes much easier to calculate which tickets to buy and the total amount that would be spend. Also ask about the saver tickets if they come out to be cheap then go for them.
If you are comfortable traveling in London's famous red buses, then they are pretty cheap options approximately £1 for central London journeys.
Otherwise traditional "black cab" is the other option that you can think of! These hackney cabs are easily available anywhere and everywhere and the driver is skillful at avoiding traffic jams, good to talk to and honest with fare meters, a journey with a hackney cab driver is a real London experience.
So keep above things in mind for planning your vacations in London.
