Unfortunately 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 .

Like the music band Franky goes to Hollywood, now Binary Ant goes to London. I’m going next Friday and I’ll come back next Wednesday. I have lots of places to visit, lots of things to do…The Tower Bridge, BigBen, Picadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square, Camden, Portobello, Soho, Covent Garden, Hyde Park…

I’m not keen on museums and I’m concious of how great and important is The British Museum, one of the most amazing ones of the world, but probably not this time. For this first time I’m going London I prefer to know the city and to be in contact with the urban culture rather than to visit museums and cultural places. Also I want to go shopping. I’m not saying I don’t like British culture, of course I do! but if I want to learn about it I can take a book, however if I want to know the city, to step on its road I have to be there. I like the urban lifestyle of big cities like London, Madrid, Roma…

As I said in my post about offline marketing to promote your blog I made some T-Shirts I’m going to wear there so If you see a really handsome guy with the Binary Ant on his chest please say him hello!, he will greet you too
