"I have been to London several times with my partner and friends and have a brilliant time there. There is so much to do and see. I think that the tourist attractions are varied and some are slightly over priced but on the other hand the restaurants are reasonably priced which did surprised me. I also love the shops, Oxford Street has a great variety of large shops, such as Topshop which is huge and again I don't think these shops are over priced and there are some great bargains to be had. The Tube lets you get around fairly quickly which is ideal for the size of London. This is a great city. Art galleries, rivers and The Tower of London make the place totally enjoyable. Even if you are a shopaholic you are bound to find many shops to suit you in either Bond or Regent Street.But London is good for day-trips or longer stays as well. I think I have seen alot of the sights, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, the London Eye, an enormous big wheel. I also like to go to places like the Planetarium and Madame Tussaud's. London Zoo is so fun, so many varieties of animal and bird life, a good place to take the children.Parking is probably best if you park on the out skirts and take the shuttle in as it is such a very busy city!"
