8. Try some new food. London is full of various restaurants and culinary influences from all over the
world. It reflects in the variety of food offer as well. For example, I really liked falafel and salad at
Pret a Manger, latte at Costa and a custard filled donut on Camden market.
9. Try some real
English chips. They
are prepared in a
special way and
they
are
very
different
from
French fries that
we usually have.
10. Find time to visit the great British Library. At the time when I was I London, there was a
Magna Carta Libertatum exhibiton. But there are many wonderful books and exhibits to see
for free as well. However, once you are inside, you cannot take pictures there. Instead,
search for some on their website www.bl.uk or other sites.
11. Go to Paris! No, I haven't
gone crazy, I really mean it. Paris
is in fact only two and a half
hours away from London, now
that there is a Eurostar tunnel
under La Manche channel. And
it's such an exciting ride, just
knowing that at times, you are 40
meters under the surface of the
sea. And the things you can see in
Paris? Well, more on that in some
other article. My suggestion is
that you plan ahead as many
details as you can and buy your
tickets online months before your
actual travel, because for
example, the price for train ticket
from London to Paris doubles as
the date of the journey
approaches.
12. Visit markets in
London. They are the most
incredible and the most
colorful places to see. It's a
place where as in all of
London, so many cultures
meet, so there is a huge
variety of food on offer and
people from all around the
world gather there. You
can also find original
handicrafts to bring home
as unique souvenirs.

13. Do the tour around London. Depending on the time you have and your interests, see the
places from guidebooks, such as: Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, The Tower of
London, British Museum, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Greenwich,
Shakespearre's Globe Theatre, The London Bridge, Camden Market, Big Ben, The Houses of
Parliament, Downing Street, St Paul's Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus, The Shard, Soho. They are
really worth seeing and the number of tourists visiting London every day are the best proof.
Have fun! :-)
