Travelling To London: What To Do, Discover And Love In London

By Markus Bichler


If you have dreams of yourself holding a hot cup of tea and riding a double decker bus to countless museums, markets, galleries and festivals after a night out at a cool nightclub in that case London might be just what you have been waiting for!

London is a cosmopolitan metropolis with an eclectic mix of fashions, culture, cuisine and architecture. There are not many cities where you will find businessmen in tailor-made suits rubbing shoulders with punk rockers on a packed tube train.

There is a great deal to explore in this history and culture rich town where tradition mixes with the new from the grandeur of Parliament to the innovative design of Norman Foster's "Gherkin". A stroll along the south bank from The Tate Britain will lead you to The London Eye where you can feast your eyes on all of it.

Be sure to dig a little deeper and discover the genuine magic of London, make your way via the fascinating bustle of Camden town towards the antiques of Portobello market. You really dont have to look far to discover evidence of the citys fantastic arts scene, with works by, to name a few, the elusive graffiti artist Banksy`. As the centre of the former empire, London features a vast number of museums, which are all free, covering the long and prosperous history of the UK.

Uncover the energetic party atmosphere, whether you prefer to shake the night away at Ministry of Sound, see an awesome band at the Hammersmith Apollo or have a cold beer or two in one of the traditional pubs. As a key element of your trip to London, experiencing a musical downtown cannot be missed. And let's remember the countless festivals and fairs that happen in wonderful Hyde Park.

For all you shopaholics, whatever budget may be, rest assured you will get your moneys worth. Roam Oxford Street for high street heaven or pick up a cheap vintage number in Spitalfields market.

This real life experience report has been put together after a stay during an English language course in London with our three schools in London.
