"What CAN'T you do in London?? Everything's there and you see famous people! I think spend at least four days and make sure you get on the 24 hr oxford tibe bus to Oxford to squeeze in seeing this most amazing city too... London itself is endless in it's attractions, I personally love Cmden town, any type of person, any type of fsahion,you can just sit in a cafe and watch it all colourfully jazz by..or join in and go to a concert or wander the streets...greenwhich market on sunday a.m is also amazing..secodn hand fest!! go go go, probably the BESt city in the world!

"Best City in the World... London Rocks!! And Hamleys is the absolute best toystore in the world. Take your kids in there at your peril, it will cost you !! Its a fab place though."
Claire Sims
"Parliament Square is an evocative splash of greenery and tranquillity amidst the bedlam of everyday London. Rich in history, the area includes the House of Lords, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye. Inspiring statues of Churchill, Richard the Lionheart and Emmeline Pankhurst can be found at the House of Lords and in the nearby Victoria Tower Gardens. And no trip to London is complete without hearing Big Ben chime by the River Thames!"

"Try the area where Carnaby street meeets Regent Street. It's a great spot for people watching and some shopping."
Deborah Kavanagh
"Wimbledon Tennis Championships - so British. Quintessential, traditional and fun!! Centre Court, Sunshine, Tennis... Strawberries and Cream....... Perfect."
Geeta Howles
"Absolutely love London and have fond memories of the VEDay concert when I saw Will Young perform on stage in Trafalgar Square."
Janice Taylor
canterbury cathedral
"Lincoln's historic town centre is a great place to walk around as there are no cars on the main street. Try the Bailgate beside the Cathedral for great restaurants and bars. In the centre of town just beyond the railway crossing The Treaty of Commerce pub does good lunchtime food. Beware of the chain restaurants beside the Brayford, poor quality and expensive."
John D
"Manchester is a fantastic night out. It has some really stunning destinations and eateries. I recommend it highly, 5 stars!!!"
Laila Noble
"London's Regent Street is fabulous for shopping. It is really easy to get to on the tube and the sight seeing busses pass along it as well."
Lucy Taylor

"In London, visit HMS Belfast on the River Thames and explore nine decks of living history."
Myra Caryl Lontiong
"You just cant get bored in London - the best city by far ! Markets, food, outdoor events galore - a must for any intrepid traveller."
Nabeel Shariff
"London can be wonderful. Don't just follow the tourist trail, but get lost. For instance, around Fleet Street, it's wonderful, with the Old Curiosity Shop, the Cheshire Cheese, and other "hidden" buildings."
Rob Falconer
york minster
"No matter how many times and no matter where I approach the Houses Of Parliament from, I am filled with awe at their powerful architecture, amazed that they were never harmed by war, breathless at the intricacy of detail as they stand powerful and proud on the Thames. What has gone on behind their majestic walls over the years, the men who have held power over the land contained within those walls all adds to they mystery and magnificence... London's pride."
