Greater London, England




                     Pros:                                    
  • The museums are gorgeous there! 
  • Most museums are free!
  • Great public transportation & it is easy to get (for example the underground tube and busses).
  • Lovely parks with flowers and ponds.
  • Scrumptious English Toffee ice-cream.
  • Big variety of food products in the supermarkets.
  • International calling cards.
  • Primark (cheap & stylish clothing store).
  • Beautiful & iconic sceneries.
  • Natural History Museum (my favourite) Has a lot about dinosaurs in it.
  • Iconic Westminster site (for example the Elizabeth tower with big ben in it, tower bridge & more).
  • Fantastic musicals.
  • Great Art museums.
  • Camden market, there are things from around the world there, it is a very long market so you can spend the whole day there plus they sell halal food there.
  • It isn't hard to find Kebab shops which of cause sell halal food. Other wise just look for vegetarian  or seafood stuff if your hungry. Halal shops are increasing there so it is much easier to find compared to a lot of the other counties.
  • There are Mosques there.
  • Big variety of souvenirs, best at Camden market.
  • The changing of the guard, it's a good opportunity for tourist.
  • For football fans there is Chelsea & Arsenal stadium.
  • Go to Richmond park for the opportunity to row in nature.
  • It sometimes snows in winter.
  • There are a lot of foreigners there so you will meet people from other countries which you haven't met before.
  • Feels great walking around.
  • Warner Bros. studio tour London - the making of Harry Potter.
  • People don't regularly make eye contact but if you ask for help most of them are quite friendly, polite & honest.
  • Most of them mind their own business.
  • There is good ravioli there.
  • Pound land ( cheap stuff ).
             Cons: 
  • Shops close too early.
  • It gets dark very early in winter.
  • Avoid gonging out at late night if you don't wish to encounter loud drunk crowds. 
  • It looks horrible when the snow starts to melt & turns to slippery ice or grey lumps, be careful!
  • Horrible traffic, your better off walking.
  • There is always two taps hot & freezing.
  • You will have to wait for the shower water to warm up, using the heater, be patient. In older houses.
  • Do not go on the tube during rush hour, it's packed & warm.
  • Do your research as it is expensive there!
  • Cinema ticket prices are very high, not worth it.
  • Horrible pop corn & nachos at the cinema, not worth the try.
  • Please always be aware of your belongings! There'r thiefs are quick especially when your things are on the table or put down somewhere.
  • You occasionally hear someone swear loudly.
