Re: Cheap Vacation For London
Thanks for this info. I have been to London many times and I agree with you that for each city traveling the best way to use the train transport and it is really reasonable and pleasurable. I ever enjoyed the travel by train because it let to me see the beautiful scenery.
Best Regards,

Re: Cheap Vacation For London
Hello friends
London is still recovering from the bombings of July 7, 2005. Time will tell how these attacks shape the character of this city over the long term -- but it would be foolish to define this city by the terror that was inflicted upon it. The Queen would not stand for it. The sounds of Brit-pop and techno pour out of Victorian pubs; experimental theater is popping up on stages built for Shakespeare's plays; upstart chefs are reinventing the bland dishes that British mums have made for generations; and Brits are even running the couture houses of Dior and Givenchy. In food, fashion, film, music, and just about everything else, London, as it moves deeper into the 21st century, stands at the cutting edge again, just as it did in the 1960s. If this sea of change worries you more than it appeals to you, rest assured that traditional London still exists, basically intact under the veneer of hip. From high tea almost anywhere to the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, the city still abounds with the culture and charm of days gone by. Discovering London and making it your own can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you have limited time. Even in the 18th century, Daniel Defoe found London "stretched out in buildings, straggling, confused, out of all shape, uncompact and unequal; neither long nor broad, round nor square." The actual City of London proper is 1 square mile (2.6 sq. km) of very expensive real estate around the Bank of England. All of the gargantuan rest of the city is made up of separate villages, boroughs, and corporations -- each with its own mayor and administration. Together, however, they add up to a mammoth metropolis. Luckily, whether you're looking for Dickens's house or hot designer Vivienne Westwood's flagship store, only the heart of London's huge territory need concern you. The core of London is one of the most fascinating places on earth. With every step, you'll feel the tremendous influe
Thanks

With every step, you'll feel the tremendous influence this city once exerted over global culture when it had an empire on which the sun never set.
