London Pocket Guide

Images Of London

Covering over 600 square miles, London is by far Europe's largest city. But don't let this put you off - many of its most famous landmarks are within walking distance of each other. From Big Ben and Westminster Abbey you can wander the streets only to find yourself at the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus. The English capital is also perfect for those who enjoy living life at a fast pace. With 47% of the city's population between the age of 16 and 44, there are fewer places on the planet with as much energy as London.

    One of the world's greatest cities.

    Spent 5 days exploring the city, on the north side of the Thames, from Notting Hill to Spitalfields. Absolutely amazing! Seems to be no end to the splendid streets and interesting neighborhoods. And if it rains, pop into a museum, many of which are free.

    Insider Tip:Brick Lane in Spitalfields: Great food and open air market. Camden Locks: Also good for varieties of food, flea market, and general fun. Sir John Soane Museum: Intensely eclectic private 18th century museum at Lincolns Inn Fields Portobello Road flea market Selfridges department store: This place is totally beyond the average department store. Worth a visit even just to look. Chelsea: Wonderful walking area. Small, quaint streets and shops.

    Worth seeing at least once

    I liked the city but didn't fall in love with it. I was suprised with all the rubish on the pavements. It's nice place to visit but I won't come back soon.

    London ...not what I expected

    London is known to be this amazing city and to me it seems to be built up more than it is. It's really expensive!! But the history is incredible.

    As long as it's not raining

    Excellent place to explore museums, pubs, music and have friendly chats with people. The rain wouldn't annoy me if it wasn't so bloody cold and windy!

    Insider Tip:Same the museums for a rainy day..

    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.
