Binary Ant Back From London
Written by Alfonso Muñoz on July 10, 2008 – 10:48 amUnfortunately all good things must come to and end, and my short trip to London is just past. I’m going to do a very little review about what you can do, where you can go, etc.
Where to sleep
In London you have a wide variety of places to sleep and of course with a wide variety of prices and a wide variety of important conditions like cleanliness, location, etc. I chose an EasyHotel, which belongs to the airline company EasyJet, also they have EasyBus, EasyFood and easy things like that
. Good price, the room is small, only bed and bathroom, but really clean. It is well communicated with everywhere by underground and bus because it is near Victoria Station. I recommend it, you can check it out in their website.


How to get around London
If you have some money to spend you can do like me and rent a limousine:

Just joking friends
. The best way is by underground but beware the time because at 12pm (00h you know) they stop the service. You can use the bus too, that typical double decker red bus. I think they run a bit fast, I felt like Harry Potter when he took that magic bus. By the way, underground costs £5.30 for a whole day ticket, don’t pay for a single ticket.
Where to eat
The typical “fish&chips” is history, I think I only saw once an stand offering it. If you are short of money you have lots of fast food places, the well known PizzaHut, McDonalds, Burger King, KFC (I don’t like this much), and lots Asian restaurants (Indian, Chinese, Thailand,etc). I liked very much a place called Wok to Walk which prepare obviously woks for a reasonable price:

Typical Tourism
If you go to London for first time there are places you must visit and it is almost a crime not to do it: The Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Westminster, St Paul’s Cathedral, etc. With a good map of the city and the underground you won’t have problems but I assure that visit all places takes lot of time.

Shopping?? Who said shopping???
Yeah, London is one of the coolest cities to buy things. Fortunately on the month of July the shops are on sale and I’m and expert on look for bargains . If you want the coolest shops then you have to go to Carnaby Street, but I told you the coolest not the most expensive like Dior, Armani, blahblah…

But I highly recommend you to go to Candem and Portobello markets. These places are full of great things and bargains. Candem only works on weekends. If you are a businessman/woman perhaps you can bargain over the price with the seller, I got it.


For Apple Lovers
I couldn’t leave London without visit the Apple Store of Regent Street. I’m not Mac user but I had to see it. An enormous shop full of computers and devices and you can touch them!!!


Also they have a place to celebrate meetings and presentations.

Final Thoughts
London is a city with lots of faces and nuances, with many places to see, many people to know. I wrote a short review with few things of my trip, I took almost 200 pics and saw many other things but I don’t want to make this post too long. I hope you enjoyed it

Wow! Nice shots! You look so relax!
I like the The Tower Bridge, is awesome

Hi Monika I took pics of the bridge lifted too, it’s amazing! I think it is one of the tipical places I liked more. Perhaps I looked relaxed, it was a incredible trip indeed, but my tired feet didn’t think the same
, I walked a lot.
Fox: have you ever been in London?

Hola Neri, el Apple Store era enorme y podías toquetear todo, menudo vicio
KushMoney, London is a very nice city indeed but expensive too. Nowadays US people have the problem of the weak dollar, believe me, $100 = £50 … but who knows how things could be in the future?

Yeah, things may change but who knows.
You been away for awhile now. Are you going to update this blog anytime soon?
P.S. its me KushMoney
