London

















Are you going to travel to London soon and still don't know what to do there the whole time?
This article will help you to find out more about the famous tourist attractions, how to get to the centre and move around and will tell you what you cannot miss in the British capital.
Let´s start with public transport: This is really easy in London. If you take the tube the only thing you have to know is the direction in which you are travelling. It is North-, South-, West- or Eastbound. Print out a little tube map before you get to London or make sure to have one in you tourist guide and then it´s absolutely easy to travel within the city. Also the buses are really nice to use, although the red is a bit more complicated but you get the chance to see something of the city.
Travelling to the city after you´ve landed is also no problem, because wherever it is there is either access to the tube or there will be trains taking you to the city centre. In Gatwick or Stansted for instance operate trains every 30 minutes and you need only about the same amount of time to get to the centre. From Heathrow you can use the tube or the Express train and reach the centre within 20 minutes or 45 minutes by tube.
Once you are in the centre and got to your accommodation you can start your trip and the city is all yours. As there is so much to do in London you should better read some guides and information before your holidays. Almost every attraction has its own website in different languages available and the official English Tourism Board also provides good information on its website.
In case you have never been to London before you should definitely go and visit all the main attractions like the Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London and all the rest. Don´t miss Madame Tussauds, that´s really great fun to "meet" all your idols and VIPs.
If you have been to London before you can go see the less known attractions. People who like to go shopping should go to Camden Market, it´s every Saturday from ten and you´ll find loads of shops from shoes and clothes to furniture and books. It is said that also designers come here to get inspired.
A really nice restaurant recommendation is the "Fifteen" that is run by Jamie Oliver, the famous British chef.
Have a great holiday in London and enjoy your time!
In case you are still looking for an accommodation here is a recommendation: London Apartments. There are some beautiful apartments in the city centre and I've only made positive experiences.
