London always seems to be full of happy and excited tourists. Every which way you turn in central London there are always hordes of tourists enjoying the offerings of this amazing city. Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Europeans, Africans you name it there will be people from virtually every country in...

On Saturday I’m going to be going on the legendary “London Movie Tour” a tour, which takes in over 60 central London film locations from over 40 films. For a real movie goer like myself this tour is as good as it gets. In fact I can barley contain my excitement that’s how much I’m...

I have survived last nights visit to “The London Dungeon” and the wrath of the Killer Queen: Bloody Mary the latest addition to quite possible London’s most gory and gruesome tourist attraction. My nerves are however feeling a wee bit frayed but that may be down to all those Bloody Mary’s...

It is almost my first anniversary and I’m not talking about my relationship with my African princess, what I’m referring to is that I have almost been living in London for a year. It sure has been a quick 12 months, I just wish I knew where the time has went. I suppose that means I’m...

Here I was standing at the foot of “The Clock Tour”, or if you prefer to go by its nickname of “Big Ben” and I do. Ready to embark upon one of London’s most exclusive tours, which was by the way free. It’s not often you get something this good for free in the Big Smoke. I was gathered with...

On the 7th of August 2009 I emailed my local MP to arrange a visit to one of London’s greatest icons “Big Ben” or if you prefer its official name “The Clock Tower”. On Monday the 11th of January the time for my visit had finally arrived. A wait of almost 5 whole months, that makes the queue...

I had heard that the best free view in all of London could be found at Alexandra Palace, which is located in the Wood Green district in the North of London. I had been meaning to check things out for myself for quite some time but I never got around too it. On Saturday afternoon I was at a bit of loose...

London, London, London so good I said it three times. For the not so rich tourists that come to London, there is a wide choice of free things to do and places to visit. In fact I would recommend them for the richer tourists as well, because they are too good to miss out on. In fact yesterdays article...

London is a city, which can be a bit of contrast. It is a modern vibrant city with countless monstrosities of council tower blocks, especially when you get away from the tourist areas and too many to mention multi storey office buildings that tower above the streets in Central London. In stark contrast...

One of the main reasons why I chose to go for a walk along the Thames on Saturday, was because I wanted to pass by the Battersea Power Station, it is one of those buildings that I never get tired of looking at. It may be a crumbling and decrepit wreck of a building, but there is a beauty and rawness...

Any tourist that comes to London, one of those must visit places is Tower Brigde, even though plenty of Americans think it is Londen Bridge they are looking for. But as most of us know and any Yanks that read my blog London Is Cool, you will be aware it is the Tower Bridge that you are looking for. A...
