"If you are tired of London, you are tired of life" is a famous saying by Samuel Johnson and it is even more relevant today. Around almost every corner, there is something exta-ordinary new for you to see.
London oozes history, stuns your mind with new facts, stimulates your very being, reveals many stunning locations and gives you with a beautiful experience that will remain with you forever. Make sure that you know exactly where you want to go as there is such a lot to see and do in the city. It is built around the famous River Thames.
You will meet numerous first time and regular tourists in the London every day. Planning is very important, so book your hotels on line.
How to travel within the city?
The city has a wonderful transport system that is easy to get to and the service is phenomenal. Where ever you look there are London buses, Underground trains, British Rail trains, Docklands Light Railway, Riverboats, taxis and Trams for you to catch. You certainly don't need to hire a car but if you travel outside of the city you should do so on line. Make sure that you have a London Mini Map and an Underground Tube Map. Once you get the hang of it the vast maze of routes is fun and quite easy.
A must for you is to get an "Oyster Card" as this will enable you to pay for transport wherever you go! For a mere £5 refundable deposit which you have to top up, the city vitually opens to you like an oyster.
Boris, the charismatic Mayor of London has made bicycles very popular and it is fun to get around like this. Bicycle ranks are almost everywhere.
Taxi drivers have to learn a huge amount of information to get a licence to operate, so you can interact with them to know more about the city, restaurants, cafes, hotels, lodges and lots more.
