Great Britain - London

When I visited London, I was surprised, how much cosmopolitan city London is. There is really little chance, that you will meet a real Londoner. And the true is, that London is crowded with the people. When you go past the street, you have to keep away to other people. Many people live in the outskirts of London. There are shopping centers as well as in the centr of the city. However, what is there much more interesting for tourists than the shopping centres, are large market places. Where you can buy lot of different things, from vegetable and fruits to cosmetics, mobile phones and clothes. The advantage of these market places is that things are really cheap there. Periphery of London are not so busy, the air is there fresher and you have no problem getting to the centre.

You can use a typical London DOUBLEDECKER or use underground, with which you can get everywhere. Each of people living in the London knows the phrase: „Mind the gap between the train and the platform“, resounding  with each door mening of the train. But one disadvantage of periphery  there is.  London is well-known for high concentration of crime, which is very concentrated in those parts of London. For this is good to be heedful, when you going out alone at night.

 

Prices
For people living in the Central or Eastern Europe are in Londen very interesting prices. If I compare the prices in the Czech republic and  Great Britain especially London, I have to say, that some prices are about the same level, for example food, tickets, travelling,, books etc. But some prices in London against Czech republic are very low, nearly abot 50% lower. These prices are especially related to clothes, cosmetics and mainly elktronics. For example you can buy in London mobil phone or camera, which costs 100 pounds, chat is aproximately 3,000 Czech crowns. The same mobil phone or camera costs in the Czech republic about 6,000 Czech crowns. On the other side in London are high costs of living.

 

Monuments
Center of London is full of interesting sites and historical monuments. If you have only a week to see London, be sure, you can´t visit everything. The advantage of London is that in most museums are tickets free. Otherwise, you have to pay other attractions. Unfortunately I didn´t visit legendary London Eye, but if you want to see London from above and accept the price of this attraction, it's worth to try it
But I do not want to talk about the monuments and places such as Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Picadily Circus and the Tower Bridge, etc. Information about these places you can find anywhere on the Internet. I made the traditional photos that you will always find in connection with the term of London, but it is less visible Bealfast battleship, which atmosphere is enhanced by wax figures. Interesting is also the Tower Bridge engine that provides lift bridge for the passage of the tall ship. If you wander the streets of central London as I, you can find a lot of interesting things such as Shakespeare's The Globe and The Memorial of firefighters, whose participated in the rescue before the terrible fire of London in 1666. Also in London, you can visit the St. Paul´s Cathedral or you can visit the giant aquarium below the London Eye.
