Jolly Ol' Travel Sundays

  The hot days and nights of summer are here so bust out the Sangria and music. For those this is travel season :)  Today I am recommending a staple for when traveling to Europe that is jolly ol' London. The site of the 2012 Olympics London is truly a melting pot of cultures and people.  

 To get to London I recommend using TravelZoo.com to  help find one of the better fares. If you are still in school use STATravel.com they have deals as low as 300 round trip :) Remember to be patient and like that of Sherlock Holmes himself to find  these  deals. Start looking early also in the off season would be the best to book the tickets such as winter and late summer. 

Now the ideal time to go in my opinion was the summer the weather was great (for London standards). The weather is mild in nature ranging from 70 to 78 Celsius.  So typical summer clothes is okay and might recommend bringing a light jacket and umbrella for the light rain from time to time. 

The list of things to do in London go on and on. I recommend the tours that are offered through  your hotel with Double Decker bus. But if you are feeling a little luxurious I recommend renting a private limousine for the day to have your own private tour of London. It might be a little more expensive, but the experience is much better. You will see the international gems: Big Ben, Tower of London,  Tower Bridge( London Bridge), Baker Street, and so much more.   For the mystery seekers I recommend the Jack the Ripper tour very fun I must say. Another tour would be walking tour of Haunted London for those wanting to know what skeletons hide in this old city. 

 When it comes to places to stay I recommend The Forum Hotel(now owned by Holiday Inn)  located in the Kensington neighborhood which located near a lot of the attractions.  When it comes to the English cuisine I truly recommend having some Fish and Chips at one of the local pubs.  After that I will say the London truly has the world's cuisine in their backyard.  Some of the best Indian Food I have had was from London.  

So now after sharing with you a little about this wonderful city I say go and explore it for yourself.  Until next time ......
