Good news Went to see a flat today. It was ok, quite expensive; in a very convenient area, but a little scummy if you walk down the road. I'm not sure if we'll take it or not. We said we'd call them to let them know.On the way back home we had our first Kebab from London. It was quite nice I must say, but we bought it from a fairly dodgy takeaway... Chavs hanging around the entrance and tabloids laid out to read while eating. It was nice though an...

The pub was the same as the other pubs Ive experienced since arriving. Each one is very old and it shows in the the fittings and furnishings, but kept up to dat...

More London We've now had more of a chance to take a look around. We've seen the famous Piccadilly Circus and Thames River. You really get a sense of history walking around places you've heard of and imagined so many times in various books, movies and school classes.Piccadilly Circus is amazing, really busy and alive with movement. The main square bonds historical buildings, statues and monuments with modern cinemas, digital displays and popular live...
