Description
The only problem concerning things to do in London is where to start and how to fit it all in. History and style. Class and beauty. London is a once in a lifetime experience. Tour monuments and buildings you've only ever read about in history class; and see art you've only see in books. Drink beer by the pint. Visit the London Eye, a giant Ferris Wheel that gives you a view of the entire city in all its glory. Shop at some of the world's most famous stores and come home the envy of all your friends. Catch some of the finest theater in the world. And give in to your secret obsession with the royals (don't deny it) by stopping by Buckingham Palace.

i hated this place it was stupid I'm harris lachance i and i hated it!!!!!!
We were only there for a week, but we were on the move from early in the morning to late at night and still barely made a dent in the sights we wanted to see. From the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace to the maze at Hampton Court and taking the hovercraft to Greenwich, we were excited with everything. If you go, map out your MUST SEES and then if you can manage all those, move on to your lesser sees, but no matter what you do, you will love every minute...except for maybe the food. That was our least favorite part of that trip.
London was my first trip abroad, and I must say, it was a great choice. The culture and people are very friendly, and it definitely helps that they speak English. The sites were awesome! If you enjoy history I definitely recommend visiting, it is amazing to think how old Europe is compared to America, definitely eye-opening!
The food and night life was also great, some of the best foods I've ever had! Public transportation is definitely well designed, and cheap too!! I will be sure to visit again, what a great city!
