Overall

Having lived in London in the 70's I returned for a few days in the 80's and was thoroughly disgusted at the filth on the streets. Happily when I visited with my young family last year (2005) things were much better.London has got its act together we enjoyed the lord mayors show, the london eye, tussauds,houses of parliament,theatres,and we even saw the queen arriving at Buckingham Palace with the Duke of Edinburgh! All in all a fantastic place for a city holiday.I have only a few reservations ; there are too many places offering below standard food, some shop workers who are obviously not long in the city and don't have a grasp of english are extremely rude and offhand whereas people who have been in the city for a long time whether born within the sound of bow bells or otherwise were much more helpful.Please don't let a few rude inconsiderate people put you off one of the best cities in the world! I know how bad reviews can do harm to your home city- I am a Glaswegian!

Great for: History/Culture, Theatre/Music, Nightlife, Family Holidays
