"I was surprised to see that nobody had written a review on England's capital, or am i just looking in the wrong place? Well, i have stayed at numerous hotels here, and look to review just a few of them, and also some up some of the best things to do in London.
There is such a range of activities that can be performed in this great city. One of the things that made the city famous in the year 2000 was the building of the millennium dome, and was open to the public for 2 years. However, i now unfortunately believe that it is only is use for corporate ceremonies and professional bossiness'. Another distinctive feature of London is the London eye. This is like a huge ferries wheel, where parties up to 20 can go in the same carriage. This is a great day out, the trip takes approximately half an hour and you can see all of London as it goes very high. However, it can get very busy during the summer holidays when all the school pupils get their summer break.

London plays host to many different world-class English football teams. These include Fulham, West Ham and Tottenham. But two of the most famous clubs also play here, Chelsea and Arsenal. These are known world-wide and are involved in competitions involving some of Europe's best teams, such as Ac Milan from Italy and Barcelona from Spain. I went to Stamford Bridge for the first time with my friend Hatty who is a Chelsea Season ticket holder. I was pleasantly surprised, I don't support any football team, I rather prefer rugby, but despite the reputation football fans have built up about them, such as them being hooligans, is totally un-profound. I thought they all got behind there team very well, you could see these people had a deep passion for their team. I suggest visiting any team playing in London if possible; it really was a great day out.

Other things to do include visiting landmarks such as Buckingham palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

One interesting thing to do was to visit the National sport and science museum. It was actually more entertaining then i first would of thought. It is cheap as you get in free after six, and it wasn't too busy when i visited it. There is a lot to do to keep you entertained, such as playing clips, watching documentaries or doing things that require the help of the actually visitors. This is a really great way of getting everyone involved. You actually learn a lot of stuff too, so it really was great!

You could visit the National History museum, Tate modern or take a walk by the Thames. There is so much to do here and so many hotels to choose from with different ratings, but they all have good reputations, so you really should pay a visit to the Heart and capital of England.
