A trip to London



I took this picture in my last trip to London. This is my favourite city in the world. I love its character and though the weather can be unpredictable, I always find it fascinating. You can find people all around the world and of course it is always nice to practise English. We all know that British food is not the best, but nowadays you can taste the best of British cuisine in the socalled gastropubs. They are traditional pubs serving homemade and highquality dishes. I love going shopping in central London. You can spend a whole day shopping in Oxford Street, but my favourite places are Candem Lock and Convent Garden. You can also find interesting things in Portobello market, Notting Hill. The public trasport is excellent. You can move all around the city by underground. If you are staying for one week, buy the 7-day oyster card for areas 1 and 2. If you don't have much money stay in one of the many B&Bs, they offer accomodation and traditional full English breakfast. If you want to go sightseeing, don't miss the change of guard in Buckigham palace, Trafalgar square, the Tower of London or Tower Bridge. if you are not afraid of heights, go on a ride on the London Eye. People say that on a cloudless day you can see Windsor castle. If you travel to London in summer, don't miss one of the performances at the new Globe, a reconstruction of Shakespeare's original theatre.
