Description:

Getting around London isn't difficult. Driving is not a great idea; you'll wind up sitting in traffic most of the time, and parking is horribly expensive. Instead, use the buses, the Tube (London's subway), or Gatwick Airport Taxi to get from place to place. Or just walk; if you walk, you won't pass up the really interesting spots. You can get maps of Gatwick Airport minicab and Tube routes at a TI or Tube station; you should also be able to find them at the Tourist Information Centers. If you ride the bus, get on, and the conductor will sell you a ticket. Or you can purchase a transit pass - ask at the Tourist Information Center. To ride the Tube, purchase tickets at the coin operated machines, not the booths; this way, you'll avoid lines. Tickets are valid only on the day of purchase, so don't pre-purchase tickets. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Explore London via A B Cabs Gatwick airport
taxi   London is more than 2000 years old, and
has been a vibrant, active city for its entire
history. Today, it's the home of over seven
million people, with several million more living
near its outskirts, and has relatively easy
access to the Continent via the Chunnel, the
tunnel from France to England. Although England
itself makes for an exciting and interesting
travel experience, just going to London can fill
months of travel time, and still not exhaust your
interest. Just people-watching in London can
keep you occupied for days. London is no longer
only British instead, it's one of the most
vibrantly multicultural cities in the world. The
area north of Hyde Park is largely owned by Arabs
now, and outlying suburbs are homes to entire
neighborhoods of people of Indian and Pakistani
descent. You can go to many neighborhoods in the
city and not hear a word of English.

Of course, sometimes you might not recognize
English as English. There are twenty or more
distinct dialects just in London, some more
mainstream than others. About half the English
dialects in Britain have their roots in London, a
600-square-mile patch of land. It's an amazing
city filled with textures and cultures you didn't
even know existed. Most of the tourist section of
London can be found between the Tower of London
and Hyde park, a three-mile walk. Museums London
has countless museums, large and small, old and
new, classy and kitschy. Museums with free
admission include the British Museum, the British
Library, National Gallery, the National Portrait
Gallery, and the Tate Gallery. After a certain
time in the afternoon until closing (call to get
exact times), the Imperial War Museum, the Museum
of London, the Natural History Museum, and the
Victoria and Albert Museums are also free.

In the Victoria and Albert, you can find
excellent collections like the Medieval Treasury
art gallery the Dress Gallery, 400 years of
English dress and many famous works of art
including reliefs by Donatello. In the National
Gallery, you can find art by grand masters
ranging from Da Vinci to Rubens, Botticelli to
Monet and other French impressionists. If you're
interested in more peculiar exhibits, the famous
Madame Tussaud's Waxworks contains wax
representations of people throughout history, and
more modern works. It's an incredible and
historic museum. Architectural Treasures London
is crammed with architecture from most stages in
its history, some of it historic, much of it
remarkable in design and beauty. For starters,
the Tower of London covers several hundred years
of architectural history, as well as a millennium
of British history. Here, Lady Jane Grey and Anne
Boleyn lost their heads here, the Princes in the
Tower vanished. The oldest part is the White
Tower, built by William the Conquerer in 1077
the rest has been built around it. More recently,
St. Paul's Cathedral is only a few hundred years
old it's a symbol of British pride since World
War II, when every German air raid on London
failed to blow it up.

In the crypt, you'll find famous graves like Lord
Nelson, or the quietly anonymous dead. London
Bridge, where once shopkeepers held business, is
an architectural marvel for a special look at
it, try a boat trip up the Thames. For
less-authentic but still delightful fun, try
attending a performance at Shakespeare's New
Globe Theater, an exact reproduction of
Shakespeare's Globe, which was destroyed long
ago you can experience theatre not as it's done
today, but as it was acted in Shakespeare's time,
roaming the lower gallery and even interacting
with the actors. Or you can visit the Royal
Shakespeare Company, a not to be missed
Shakespearean company. Walking Tours and Getting
Around Time There are dozens of walking tours
available visit the Tourist Information Centers
off Piccadilly Circus or in Heathrow Airport.
Good walking tours will take you to sights like
Westminster Bridge, the Jubilee Promenade, and
then across the bridge to stand beneath the
Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

For a perfect view and to take great pictures,
walk to about the halfway point on the bridge.
Nearby is Westminster Abbey, overlooking the
great statue of Churchill, pigeon-free because
he's electrified. Trafalgar Square is the heart
of British government you'll see the Queen's
Life Guard nearby. And there are dozens of places
to eat in the area. If you are hire a taxi

try the Oxford Circus/Regent Street/Piccadilly
Circus shopping walk. If you see a royal seal on
a shop, stop in this denotes it as a favorite of
someone in the Royal Family. Sotheby's Auctions
