London is the typical city that we go on trips, always running and when you leave, there is the feeling of missing you so much to see, but that's the truth .. .
Before going to detail what "I" I would not miss London, I want to make a series of recommendations.
Most of us take advantage of the current cheap low cost where everything you sell in English but the "Scratch and Win" you also sell it in Castilian. Where are those sophisticated flight where the flight attendants / stewards attending you kindly all your requests ...! Now more it seems that you have mounted on the train 50 years ago Robla and you are about to remove the sausage pie and share with your fellow travelers. The suitcases are not billed (for not paying € 30 each) are piled up under the feet of passengers (previously unthinkable not to be sure!), Seats, increasingly narrow .. Pasadita poor weight that it intends to travel on these airlines! they are going to see and they are going to want to fit his plump body in these cavities. The corridor, before now Strait aircraft is impossible! as you neglect an instant shift steward I sliced \u200b\u200bthe foot that has dared to stretch out a bit .. In addition, the transfer of sales there in the plane will not let you rest for a moment. They have set such a circus, you can not get bored even for five minutes. Every now and then have the poor steward by selling a newspaper, a hot drink or cold, or a brownie, or a scratch or a colony, or the train fare to get to the station. Stress relief!
Think carefully before checking in or not, a suitcase . I think the next time I'll do well if I buy something, I can put it in the bag, very difficult in the case of Nancy let you go.
Well, once we passed the plane to London and if Stansted Airport is chosen we will run away (do not know why, but everyone always runs when you exit the plane, it is like to lose something important .. incomprehensible, but infects us all) And two things can happen:
- That we bought the train ticket to take us to central London on the plane and we are just getting on him, quietly (15 'is a train)
- to go with the family, and be better off with the family card to make us a significant discount on the ticket especially for children. In any case, always take the ticket back to neglect the issue. (The card expiration family has one year and not ask license to get tickets again ..)
Once we reach the station Liverpool, as surely have had a late flight, My advice is to take a taxi (there are up to 6 people) to take them to the hotel, and the next day to start trying to buy the travelcard , they allow on all meters and buses London (choose minimum zones 1-2) for 1, 2 or 3 days as they need.
As for the choice of Hotel 'm not going to get, beyond each with its economy, which is the playground for big fuss. But yes I would do is ensure that it is relatively close to Liverpool station, because the day of march will cost us less to get to the station and make better use of time. By the way, if anyone has thought to leave the suitcases in the luggage of the season the last day, that make the most of the day, and they advance that each case will stand in their day by 8 pounds (either a time, are 8 hours ... almost nothing!) Oh, and the hotel, you'd better be near a metro station!
Well, we're in London! how exciting! Where do we start? Well, after having gone several times, I feel I still have not seen it all, but to me what I like best is:
- Museums: London museums are free, I do not lose (albeit in passing) in this order: British Museum (all that our English friends sleeve for the world to other civilizations), London Museum (history London, setting out the housing s. XIX), Natural History Museum (the building is divine, the content is shocking, you see by your imagination go to all Englishmen hunting adventure through the world collecting species capture, buff, so strong), the National Gallery ( gallery to impress). And very well appointed (but I have not visited), the Wax Museum and the Transport . (I left a jug of museums, but is that as I say, I see a lot more!)
- Markets: for me the most spectacular is Camden Town! do not expect bargains, but only walk there is already great. Located in a stable of hundreds of years, have set up a sales network of amazing. Another not to be missed Covent Garden, with musicians and artists scattered around and recreational areas. Crafts and curios everywhere. And other market divine Portobello, with its stalls of clothing and second-hand goods.
- Shopping : for if you're not going to Harrods is not going to London, but recently I discovered Liberty, and I think that Harrods does not arrive or the soles of shoes. Liberty is divine I find climbing Regent Street, after passing Hamleys toy store, a little higher (I forget the street) turn right and you see the hills with this spectacular Victorian building that is Liberty. Do not miss the Christmas section, it's magic, much better than Harrods, seriously. Will you stay with your mouth open. Essential
- soho walk through the with its pubs, and night visit Chinatown, colorful and full of life, we can eat from street stalls or enter any of the lots of Chinese restaurants that show their ducks lacquered in their windows. Another thing is that you know choose While the menu, among which is in English and Chinese is the end not even know what you ask. And if not tell that to my son, who asked me soup and I chose a soup that was hotter than a chili dissolved on the tongue! When we leave it for Shasftesbury Chinatown street theaters and cinemas, which goes to Picadilly , with a great atmosphere in, worthy of the salsa.
- the Thames Path . Another imperative to reach by subway station Tower of London, if time can be visited, although I'm not too passionate about the jewelry of the Queen, who is illusion makes it special. Always leave with a photo at the expense of the Beefeater or crows. Upon his departure, take a trip across the London Bridge , and if you can, go inside. From there, we will take a boat to take us to Parliament and Big Ben famous. If given time, touring the area, no waste, Webmister Abbey, the royal guard horse en route to Trafalgar Square ...
- Parks: and have nothing else in town, but beautiful parks have to be bored. Maybe if the day is sunny, it'll chase the squirrels in search of food, and lots of people enjoying the day. If it rains, the better looking for other options.
Well, I can say here, because this post has turned out longer than a day without bread. On another trip I'll tell you more! Pets suggestions, reviews, trivia and anything else that you can make to our next trip to London!
