Back from London

I'm English and very rarely go to London - I hate all the hustle and bustle.

I studied in UK for a year and I visited London a few times, I loved it very much. The last time was around Christmas and the atmosphere of the city was wonderful. I would like to go again soon.

London was a part of our Europe package holiday. It turned out to be a fiasco. We landed there on a Saturday at Hotel Cumberland opposite Harrods. The check in time is in the evening we were told. We had keep our luggage in the luggage hold and spend our time in the lounge. Some of us got together and did our own thing such as the Wax Museum, underground train experience and some such things that we could do before we could check in. Ofcourse the breakfast at the hotel was super. We had just one more day and that is Sunday before we could catch our Euro Star train to Brussels, Belgium. Being a Sunday the Buckingham Palace was closed for the public. My dream of watch trooping the colour went down the drain I also wanted to shop at Harrods which again was closed. . We did see a bit - here and there - looking at the River Thames was great - took me back to so many poems based on that river. By 4 we were on our way to Brussel.

I have visited London many times, this is a wonderful city, but now I prefer smaller cities more quiet.

I liked its airport, that's the only place I've been there. :P

There's SO much more to our country than London. Try to get out of the city next time and see a bit more of the country.

Nope never been to London but have a good friend who lives there and tells me about it. She hears the boat horns on the river sometimes and says the weather is cool and rainy most days.

I loved going to London. I haven't been there in almost ten years. I hated coming back. If I could I probably would live there. I'll definitely go back though, at least for a visit.

sadly not yet, but it is on my to visit list, if i ever save enough money

We lived in europe for five years and London was one of the places that we visited.

Hope it charges you up for action at Mylot.

Haven't been there. I would love to but I have to save a lot just to book a ticket.

Never visited London, but my husband did and he loved it. Toronto, Canada has a very diversified culture too.

yes,been there several times as we have friends there.I like Portugal also.

You are lucky that you got a chance to visit London. I've never visited London but it is on my wish list. I understand that it is an organized, historical and beautiful city and many Asians (including Indians) stay in London.

I too like London, we lived there for six years and had to move out because of transfer..But I visited it last year and it is such a great city.I love the country side and we used to live in the suburbs where there was open space where I could take my children for long walks and they could play in the village green ...lovely memories !

So, that's where you have been all this time. I was about to file a missing person report. No, I have not visited London before but would sure love to visit some day. Glad that you had a great time there.

No I have never been there, but I would love to visit one day.

I live in the UK but have never been to London! How funny is that. Glad you had a lovely time.

I've been to London 13 or 14 times, I don't recall the precise number. I find the city fascinating but would never want to live there. Too many people, too much noise. Imagine having to go to work by underground or bus every day. Horrible.
