London is my favorite city in the world, and it is a place to get me back to it again and again.
My first trip to London at the age of 19 was my first trip alone.
I found a boarding program in a travel guide, so I spent my first few days near Ealing Broadway in the suburbs of London.
Every morning, the old lady I live with walks into my room, puts a cup of tea by my bed, and wakes me up so I can have breakfast and start my day --seeing.
It's like I have my own English grandmother.
On my first three-week trip to England, I was supposed to stay in London for a week and then spend the rest of Liverpool with one of my pen pals.
After two days at Liverpool with him, I decided we were not such good friends after all. So I spontaneously decided to take the ferry from Liverpool to Dublin and then visit some of my family in Galway County.
I want to go to Ireland in part.
To some extent, I just want to leave my pen pal and I can't afford a whole week alone in the UK, so the family comes to the rescue!
After a wonderful week in Golve and relatives living in remote places, I returned to London for a few more days and ended up living there with some relatives I didn't even know.
One of the interesting things about the whole trip was that I was raining every day in London.
The only time it didn't rain was the week I spent in Ireland.
After my first successful trip to London, I went back there again in 1987.
This time I went with some friends from my university.
We were going to the World Science Fiction Conference in Brighton, UK, but we arranged for a few days, so we flew to Paris, stayed there for a few days and went to the UK by train/ferry, spent a few nights at the Earl's Palace in London and then went to the Brighton coast for the meeting.
At the convention, I met my former Australia. husband-to-be (*g*)
This led to a return to London in 1988, this time for six months.
I actually lived and worked in London during that trip.
I work for the British gas company.
Boyfriend works at BT.
After that trip, I moved to Australia and didn't return to London until I returned to the US permanently, so I didn't see my favorite city again about six years later.
I 've been back three times since I returned to the US in 1994, but it's been 3 to 4 years now.
I haven't found the right time to go between the ticket and the exchange, but I'm always looking for deals :)
When traveling in London, what scenic spots should you look at, I am the worst person.
I didn't visit the Tower of London until I went to England for the fifth time.
I took a ride all the way to Stonehenge and stayed outside the door because I thought the tickets were too expensive.
I have never visited dozens of high-profile museums.
I spend most of my time shopping, eating, visiting and drinking with friends and going to the theater.
During my six months in London, we went to the theater every weekend and I was always there to squeeze at least one or two shows.
I 've seen Derek Jacoby's Richard II and Richard II in Ivanov, Ralph Feynes in Ivanov, and Rowin in the sneeze in chihov ·
The list continues.
If you want to see amazing actors in Great Works, London is the place to do so, tickets are cheaper than similar seats on Broadway.
On my last trip to London, I actually spent two days in their apartment with some of my friends and drank vodka to see the vampire killer Buffy I 've seen at home
On the first night of the trip, I had been hiding in the hotel room and talking to another English friend of mine on the phone.
So I tend to think of London as a place I live in, not a place to travel. I just went there because when I was there I felt like I was where I was supposed to be.
It feels like home to me.
Still, I do have some of my favorite neighborhoods and areas to hang out and soak up the atmosphere.
This is my favorite place in London.
One of my favorite neighborhoods is the home of Knightsbridge, Harrods and Harvey Knicks (
Harvey Nichols, for those who don't watch "absolutely wonderful).
When I was in my 20 s, I rarely stayed at Knightsbridge, and I prefer Sloane Square and King Road, which have punk shops and antique shops.
But my taste has changed over time, so I tend to go to Knightsbridge at some point.
The food hall in Harrods is worth a visit and I rarely go outside the ground floor.
I also go to Harvey Nichols for lunch a lot.
They have a great restaurant there and I will also buy a few bottles of wine at Harvey Nichols.
Opposite Harrods is the Burberry store and I always drool on all their great handbags.
I love Burberry check but I'm too cheap to buy at all!
Piccadilly Circus is, in my opinion, the absolute heart of London.
What does Times Square and New York City look like?
It is noisy, bold and arrogant.
Huge neon sign is crowded with hundreds of years old buildings, and it is packed with humans all day long and late at night.
Be sure to get into Virgin Records.
If you go to the Piccadilly Circus and don't go to Virgin Records, you're a madman.
If you just want to walk for a while on foot, I think Piccadilly Circus is a good starting point as it is the wheel hub that extends to Leicester Square in Soho, as well as Regent Street and then Oxford Street.
It is within walking distance of most major theaters such as Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross Road, Savannah Avenue and Covent Garden.
During any visit to London, I spent most of my time in this neighboring area, the whole area known as the West End of London.
I'll check it out at Leicester Square.
Ticket prices for theaters or movies (
All celebrity premieres are held here)
Shopping and dining Soho, bookshops and theaters Charing crossroads, more shopping and eating in Covent Gardens and surrounding areas.
I will eventually buy some souvenirs to take home here and go shopping in Regent Street.
Occasionally, I also wander to Oxford Street, but I tend to spend less time there because the shops on Oxford Street are more or less similar to the ones you find at any American mall, I. e.
They are chain stores.
Also, Oxford Street is often so crowded that I start to get impatient and annoyed.
Did I mention that I like shopping?
I didn't even buy that much when I went to London.
I don't like to see anything.
While I do tend to spend a lot of time going back and forth through Leicester Square, I'm not going to cram it all into the day.
