Search hotels in London

We've lived in London so we knew the lay of the land but still a great place to visit. Good shopping, great drinking, good food, lot's to do. Plan ahead but leave time to just wander. Find a pub, have a beer, talk to someone random. Fave spots are Camden, Covent Garden, Oxford St and Regent St. Beers in Soho and simply looking around. Learn the underground and don't be afraid to get it wrong, you'll end up somewhere interesting anyway.

Lively cosmopolitan city. Something for everyone, history, wonderful architecture, museums, beautiful parks, shops and markets. For those seeking entertainment there’s plenty night clubs and theatres or you can chill out on a river cruise. What’s not to like?

London is a beautiful and vibrant city. There are many places to visit but also many different cuisines to try out. High recommendation is to visit Borough market and Sevel dials market for the different variety of food besides just fish and chips or the usual chinese food in China town. Visit the Thames at night and watch the city light up and look more gorgeous than during the day. You just have to watch out for pick pockets in the main areas. I didn't feel safe around crowds- keep your wallet and phone as close under your arm as you can.

London offers something for everyone. I always try to catch a theatre play or musical (look for 'reduced visibility' or 'last minute' tickets for discounts) and combine my favourite spots and shops (Camden market, Forbidden Planet, Gosh! comics, Gay's The Word, etc.) with an exhibition (the V&A has lots going on) and something a bit further away (e.g. Greenwich by boat, Notting Hill). Shop opening hours are generous (some supermarkets until 22:00) and there are lots of small markets with crafts and foodtrucks (e.g. Bethnal Green, Spitalfields) London is very walkable (there are lots of benches in small parks to rest a few minutes), but do buy an Oyster card for easy travel with the Underground. Most markets, railway stations, and large shops (notably M&Ms World, Foyles) will have (accessible) free toilets. In parks you sometimes have to pay 20 pence with your bank card or credit card. Bring an umbrella, a scarf, and a light jacket/cardigan and you'll be fine most of the year. London is expensive. The 12.5% service charge that is now added to all F&B bills in restaurants and pubs really irks me, because it is supposed to be a voluntary tip, but it's silently added to each bill and if you ask for it to be removed so you can decide for yourself if you want to give a tip, it is not appreciated (note for travellers: the UK is not the USA, tips are not obligatory here, the staff get their income from their employer, not from customers/tips (notwithstanding that service wages are low))

Madame Tussauds, London Eye e River Cruise aconselho ir já com os bilhetes, National Galery, London Bridge Hide Park.. Enfim muita coisa para pouco tempo... Camden town, China town, Nottingh hill... Westminster, Big Ben...

There is so much to do and see, the transport is very efficient and it's easy to get around. We went to a show and visited Westfield Stratford which is great for shopping and has a good choice of places to eat.
