That's pretty shit, dude. Glib, smug and largely irrelevant. Way to go. Give me my 5 minutes back.

That's why for a world traveller, like yourself, it's cheaper to shop in the US. British go to other countries to shop.

The pound isn't soaring. It's the same price it was when I visited two years ago. It's the dollar that's falling.

Adman for all things I like.

@shantanu. The route can be the same for a couple of days. Stick to the west end, and around the Thames. It's not as small as Hong Kong, but not too big either.

If you're going to be there in Summer, plan to stay out late.

Who're you? Ad-man for the LOndo Tourist Authority?

I identify with the comment about a bustling city filled with a babel of tongues, being the usually the best place to soak in the atmospherics. I was in New York last week, only for about 3 hrs or so (taking my folks around), but I managed to get lost on the subway, find my way back and then travel quite some distance guided by subway-station-maps alone. It instantly felt like bombay, the crowds, the smells, the don't-have-a-nanosecond-to-waste look on most commuter's faces. Nostalgia.

Thanks for the nice compendium. But a lot of this looks to be best done over a few trips and days, as you say. What is a good two day walking route/area(s)?
