psalmi from Finland wrote about St Paul's Cathedral one year, 11 months ago
If your head and feet are up to it, it's definitely worth taking the 530 steps up to the dome and enjoy the wonderful views over London. Also the whispering gallery is a must stop in the middle. The scary part with rusty iron see-through staircases starts only from here so you may also turn back and descend if you are scared of heights.
nanix2 from Finland wrote about Science Museum 2 years ago
London Science Museum is must visit for all science fans. It's also very kids friendly sight, once there is lot's to do in the Hands-on exhibits (Launchpad). Museums exhibition is large so focus on the subjects you're interested in, rather then running all through. Museum store is also great place to find souvinirs too. And entry is free!

Gordon's Wine bar is an excellent place between the Embankment and Charing Cross Underground stations. Good wines by the bottle, VERY nice atmosphere and a great terrace when the weather is good. A must-place for every London visit.

balmyandbonkers from United Kingdom wrote about Shadwell station 2 years, 5 months ago
looking for an opportunity to slum it out? being transported back to the east london of the 1800s? shadwell is the place for you. mainly low-rise derelict council estates, the occasional 20-floor "skyscraper" about to collapse and more than a fair share of junkies, dealers, pimps 'n hoes. come here on a rainy november day and you will see things in perspective again. only 5 minutes away from the Tower and Tower Bridge, Shadwell is a must for anyone wanting to see more of London than the Crown Jewels or Mayfair's clubbing scene.
beware of the used syringes though.

paavo from Indonesia wrote about Momo restaurant one year, 5 months ago
North African restaurant. Not cheap but ok value as the food is good and portions generous. The main reason to visit is the atmosphere; it really feels like dining in Marrakech;-)
There's a coctail-bar also and a club in the cellar (hard to get in). Book in advance, as the place is popular.

A cool looking bridge from the distance but really nothing special walking over it etc. You can get 100% of the value just by staring at it from a distance.
juha from Finland wrote about Buckingham Palace 2 years ago
I hate tourists and if there is one place in London where you can find them all at the same time then this is it. If you're around there then sure, sit down somewhere and wait for the change of guard. You won't see anything. Don't go there, try e.g. the Cabinet war rooms or British Museum instead.

London is huge city but some of its different districts have a nice small town feeling. We had an authentic experience when visiting an indian restaurant in the west end.. Or the hippy Camden.. Or one could just go to Piccadilly Circus because the name just sounds so funny.

London is too huge for my taste. I've never been there in summer and it has always been dark, moist and cold. I've been there only for business and that might lower my opinion of the city, but still I think it is a bit too big and urban for my taste.

Heathrow is one of the worst airports in Europe. The place is always too crowded and the queues to check-ins and security checks are incredibly long. I try to avoid Heathrow even though it's not easy as most international flights to London land here.

Private club for media types, AD people, Internet dude/dudettes, artists and alike. Requires invite, membership or - like in our case - just walking in. Cool bars (club in 1st fl) and restaurant in the 2nd. Recommended if you're working in the business - good place for networking, meal and a coctail.

Dolphin house serviced appartments are good value. 350eur/night (or much less if you stay long) gets you two bedrooms (w/kings. beds) with separate bathrooms, sitting room and a kitchen. Nice location too near to central London. Might be just the right pick for eg. two couples traveling together.
Dolphin house also has a gym, pool, swimmin center, shampagne bar and a grill.

We visited London with my boyfriend for 4 nights. We were sleeping in the Corus Hotel Hyde Park, which is locatedjust near the Kensington Park and Hyde Park.
Two days of shopping and two days of sightseeing. Every evening we went for a romantic walk to the Hyde Park. So, four evenings, and we still didn't see everything in the park. It's HUGE! And Romantic <3
tilkkuliini from Finland wrote about Buckingham Palace 7 months ago
We only went to see tee Palace from the outside. It was raining like h***, but there were still plenty of other people too. Best time to be there is propably before noon, when they "swich" the guards (Yes, very good English :D).
tilkkuliini from Finland wrote about Trafalgar Square 7 months ago
Funny thing, when you give your man a map, tell a place where you want to go and the man is REALLY sure which direction we have to go. Well, that direction is usually wrong :D This time we didn't find the whole Trafalgar Square on the first try. I really don't how that's possibly, but I can tell you, it is.
On the next try, I was watching the map, and we found there. Have to say, that I tought it would have been a bigger place. Well, at least we have now seen it :D
Btw. Really good place for kissing in front of the pools in the square ;)

London, as I remember it, is a beautiful place filled with wonderful people. I went when I was around six maybe but I remember the atmosphere. What I recall most is the Tower Bridge (I think that's what it's called). It's magnificent! I remember the London Clock Tower (again, sorry if that's not what it's called), standing in front of it looking up at the top. I recommend London if you're planning a trip to England!
