8 reasons why you should visit London
So, maybe you are planning for your 2012 holiday, you’re probably having a look at somewhere with beautiful clear blue water and sandy beaches that go on for miles, or perhaps you are planning the adventure of a lifetime to Macchu Pichu. But stop right there, this year I think you should consider London for your holiday! I understand that in London you won’t be able to spend two weeks lazing on the sandy beaches of the Thames (you probably wouldn’t want to anyway) and I highly doubt that you’ll be abseiling down the side of Big Ben any time soon, but there are so many reasons that you should visit London, here are my top 8 reasons. 1) History – History is probably one of the main reasons that people tend to visit the UK, every street has a...

The Times: Destinations Show
Today the Travel and Tourism class took a trip into Central London to visit The Times: Destinations Show. We got there for about 10:30 in the freezing cold and couldn’t wait to get in and have a look around.

The stalls were brimming full of cool bits and bobs to pick up and take home and there were some great interviews and performances taking place on the main stage including: Tropical Inc Ltd – They brought in a wide range of exotic animals including Skunks, Snapping Turtles, Scorpions,...

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Southbank, London - Where is it: The globe theatre is seated on the south bank of the Thames.

From my point of view I’d say the best walk would be from London Bridge tube or train station, it’s about a 15min walk but you get to walk down the riverside. Other tube stations you can get to the globe from are Southwark (Jubilee line), Mansion House (District and Circle line) and St. Pauls (Central line). It’s probably best to travel by public...
