Hi,
As a native of England I am always surprised by the view Foreigners have of London, I live about 35 miles from London but I do not like to go there at all. We have a saying here, that you do not enter England till you leave London.

It does not seem like a charming lady to me but more like a cesspit, dirty, stinking, crowded and ugly. The people are strange and not like English folk.

I used to work in an office in London when I was 18 to 20 years old. Then I went around the world, came home a year later and went to university. I often went through London during those years doing the touristy thing and getting bargain books for my studying. The first places there that spring to my mind are Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, St James Park, Tower Bridge, Kew Gardens and Hampton Court. Now I live further away from London I think of visiting it again to have a ride on the London Eye. I am sure that the views from that to the River Thames are amazing. Yes, it is a wonderful city.

Whenever i heard London. I always think about royals such as Queen Elizabeth II.. and the famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Big Ben, Tower of London, House of Parliament and many more.. and famous writers such as William Shakespear, Charles Dickens, Bronte sisters, J.K Rowling.. Also i think that people of London (also the people around UK) are very very very polite.. And A Great Place to live...
