Big city
London is nice and also full of history, but I think that are some more beatiful places to visit in Europe.
Insider Tip:Enjoy the pubs around the city and also do the free tours. Go to Floripa! Its a Brazilian pub.

Visiting London
Covering approximately 650 square miles, London is one of Europe’s largest cities. It is arguably it’s most iconic also and here you will encounter some of the world’s most famous tourist attractions. And while the British capital is such an enormous city, you can still pack an awful lot into the one day. Many of those famous sights are within walking distance of each other, and after visiting them you can treat yourself to a show in the West End before sampling the city’s legendary nightlife.

Everything works
Stayed there for a week+.Great facilities, almost brand new.No keys - Everything works with a magnetic card like the Oyster Tube card which makes things easier. 1 min. walk to Great Portland Street.(east) 5 min walk to Oxford Circus tube.(South) 2 min. daily morning walk to Local Sainsburys(North) to avoid the 3.95 quid breakfast.Wi-Fi not really a problem.Freely available at nearby shops Pret-A-Manger and Starbucks. 17-20 quid a day in central London (Marylebone) was quite a prime deal stay

What can I say?
Been to London a few times, but this latest visit was definitely a one to remember. Finally managed to visit London during New Year's Eve, so the fireworks was a bonus!
Insider Tip:Eat where the locals eat. That is all.

London - even much more expensive than you could imagine
Even though there is so much to see and do in London, but the city is ridiculously expensive. It may be ok for the locals to live there, but travellers from Europe, for example, London is ridiculously expensive. I would think not twice but ten time more next time I want to go to London for leisure.

London: big historical city
We stayed in London for 9 days and managed to see a huge range of places during our stay. The city is quite large and the tube makes life ever so convenient getting around to lots of places. There are a ton of shops which cater for everybody's needs and food places are everywhere. Every building houses some sort of history and the free museums and galleries make exhibition experiences very cheap.
Insider Tip:Use an oyster card during your stay, even if you're there for a few days. You get your deposit back when you return the card and it's far cheaper than paper tickets. Also the tube is closed Christmas day so make sure to plan ahead if there are any changes in services. Parks, museums and galleries are the best way to experience a cheap stay in the city, as most other places incur some fee (with a donation attached).
England: Itinerary
London is Europe's largest city, so doing everything of interest to the average traveller is impossible. But in three days you can certainly get the feel of that 'London Vibe' everybody talks about. Here's a rough guide about how to go about it...
