I had been to London twice for the weekend - sightseeing trips with friends or students. I had seen the major sights, twice, and didn't need to see them again. This last time I went solo - and had a great time! I can't wait to go again. What will I do on my next trip? More specialty book stores, go back to Covent Garden and the Borough Street Market, then find some new nooks and crannies to explore.

So my favourite thing about London is... there is so much more to see and experience!

I have studied English history and literature so a walk through London is seeing it all come to life.

I remember standing in front of Westminister Abbey and the House of Parliament with Big Ben and I was just in awe.

Of course shopping at Harrods and Portobello road was wonderful. Regent Street was amazing, I loved the HUGE Laura Ashely they had.

The museums, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace.

What I love most about London is the River Thames, and all the walks along it - for young And old! Everyone can enjoy it - moms with buggies, old gentlemen with walking sticks and even crazy students with skateboards or 'free running' and jumping down flights of steps or walls along the South Bank. I have some pictures of it:

London is really cosmopolitan and amazing. I love the views of the river and the walks along it, the old buildings, the museums and galleries, and the shopping.

I live in London and the thing I like best is to look at the wonderful architecture when I'm on the top deck of a bus. Riding the buses is how you really get to see London!

A London walk is one thing we always plan into our London itinerary. There are lots of walks starting from Trafalgar Square and we plan to choose one over the Halloween break - Trafalgar Square is one of the places we like most in London (we wrote all about it on our photo journal on Squidoo) it's great for photos too, and has a lot of interesting history. A nice hotel near Trafalgar Square is the Radisson - it even has a nice name, the Radisson Edwardian!

Be sure to visit London at Christmas for some fun. One of the things England/London does best is a traditional Christmas!

You really can get chestnuts roasted round an open fire (well, brazier anyway) in traditional Victorian settings such as Covent Garden. Also, Harrods Kensington and Hamley's Toy Shop Regent's Street all lit up for Christmas are a sight to behold.

The Salvation Army brass band playing all the traditional old carols, and Christmas fun festivities in Trafalgar Square - all not to be missed for those who love London vacations!
