Compared with most European cities, accommodation in hotels in central london is expensive.The cheapest option is a dorm bed at one of the numerous independent hostels places. Even the most basic B&Bs struggle to bring their tariffs below £50 for a double with shared facilities,and you’re more likely to find yourself paying £60 to £70 or
more. For a decent hotel room,you shouldn’t expect much change out of £100 a night. 

In upmarket hotels – particularly those in or near the City – prices are significantly higher during the week.

the months just after Christmas. It’s wise, therefore, to try and book your accommodation in advance, particularly if you want to stay in one of the more popular places.

London Eye

London’s most prominent recent landmark is the London Eye, the magnificently graceful observation wheel which spins slowly and silently over the Thames. Standing 443ft high,
the wheel is the largest ever built, and it’s constantly in slow motion – a full-circle “flight” in one of its 32 pods takes around thirty minutes, and lifts you high above the city. At the top,you’re at one of the few places (apart from a plane window) from which London looks a manageable size, as you can see right out to where the suburbs slip into the countryside.Ticket
prices are outrageously high,though the engineering and the views are awesome; queues can also be very bad at the weekend, so book in advance over the phone or online.But there are much more london tourist attractions to visit

County Hall

The colonnaded crescent of County Hall is the only truly monumental building on the
South Bank. Designed to house the now defunct London County Council, it was
completed in 1933 and enjoyed its greatest moment of fame as headquarters of the GLC
(Greater London Council),which was abolished by Margaret Thatcher in 1986
leaving London as the only European city without an elected authority. In 2000, the
former GLC leader Ken Livingstone was elected as Mayor of London, and moved
into the new GLA (Greater London Authority) building further downstream.
County Hall, meanwhile, is now in the hands of a Japanese property company, and currently
houses several hotels, restaurants,an amusement arcade and a bizarre clutch of tourist
attractions.

London Aquarium

The most popular attraction in County Hall is the London Aquarium,laid out across three floors of the
basement.With some superlarge,multi-floor tanks, and everything from dog-face puffers
to piranhas, it’s pretty much guaranteed to please younger kids.The “Beach”, where
children can actually stroke the (non-sting) rays, is particularly popular.Though impressive in
scale, the aquarium is fairly conservative in design, with no walk-through tanks and only the
very briefest of information on any of the fish.

Saatchi Gallery

The Saatchi Gallery of contemporary art occupies the incongruously imposing former council
chamber of County Hall.Charles Saatchi, the collector behind the gallery, was, in fact,
the man whose advertising for the Conservative government helped topple County Hall’s
previous incumbents, the GLC.Saatchi’s extravagant wallet also helped promote the Young
British Artists of the 1980s and 1990s, as he snapped up headline-grabbing works such as
Damien Hirst’s pickled shark and Tracey Emin’s soiled and crumpled bed.The gallery puts
on changing exhibitions drawn primarily from Saatchi’s vast collection.

Dalí Universe

Three giant surrealist sculptures on the river-facing side of County Hall herald the Dalí
Universe.Yet while Dalí was undoubtedly an accomplished and prolific artist, you’ll be
disappointed if you’re expecting to see his “greatest hits” here – those are scattered across the
globe. Most of the works on display are little-known bronze and glass sculptures, as well as drawings from the many illustrated books which he published, ranging from Ovid to the Marquis de Sade. Aside from these, there’s one of the numerous Lobster Telephones,which Edward James commissioned for his London home, a copy of his famous Mae West lips sofa, and the oil painting from the dream sequence in Hitchcock’s movie Spellbound.

There plenty more london tourist attractions to visit , in the next week we will show you more.

Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s:

Gourmet—and famous Broadway musical producer Andrew Lloyd Webber has proclaimed this hot chef the finest in London. Maybe that’s going a bit far, but Ramsay is dazzling tout London with the fare emanating from his pots and pans. Everything he does bears an innovative twist, and though he has learned from the past, he’s hardly anchored there. Try anything, but make sure you sample his “cappuccino” of white beans with grated truffles.
You’ll want to adopt him and take him home

Restaurant Le Gavroche:

Long known for its top-rate French cuisine, this stellar restaurant has risen to the top again
following a bit of a slump in the 1990s. Come here for that grand meal and skip the trip to Paris (we
don’t really mean that). The menu options are a delight, with such tantalizing
dishes as a cassoulet of snails with herb-seasoned frogs’ legs. Naturally,
the wine cellar is among London’s finest restaurants.

The Square :

One of the great London restaurants to have emerged in the 21st century, this gourmet citadel is the domain of master chef Philip Howard, whose Continental cuisine
has dazzled the food critics of London.Howard is justifiably praised for
his “magic” in the kitchen and for his use of “stunningly fresh” ingredients,
which he deftly concocts into masterpieces.

Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons:

The country-house hotel and restaurant of self-taught chef Raymond Blanc
have brought him a TV series, as well as cookbooks and a school of cuisine.
A new lightness, inspired mainly by Japan and the Mediterranean, is more
evident in the celebrated chef ’s creations,and more meatless dishes
appear on the seasonal menu. But the intensely French loyalties remain:
sweetbread-stuffed pigs’ trotters, kidneys,foie gras, even veal tongue.

Le Champignon Sauvage:

David Everitt-Matthias has awakened the sleepy taste buds of Cheltenham. Thoroughly imbued in
the French classics, he also adds more modern and lighter touches to his
table d’hôte menus, the finest at this old spa. Some dishes reach into the
old English repertoire, including stuffed leg of wild rabbit served with
black pudding and turnip sauerkraut.His desserts are acclaimed as the most
luscious in England.

• The Moody Goose:

The spa city of Bath offers some of the finest dining
in the West Country and, in Bath itself, this English restaurant is the
market leader. A most refined cuisine is served here in an elegant Georgian
setting. The kitchen is known for its passion for fresh ingredients, and
everything is cooked to order and to perfection.

Visit Cambridge, like Oxford, is forever linked with the venerable university that has flourished here on the banks of the River Cam for 7 centuries. Before the great university took root here, Cambridge was known to the Romans as a place to ford the River Cam, and housed several monastic settlements in the Middle Ages. Obviously,
the chance to step into a few of the 31 colleges and view their architectural wonders is what brings many visitors to Cambridge. But you’re in for a pleasant surprise—this
town that rises from marshy lands known as fens is itself a gem, an appealing blend of
busy markets and shops, medieval architecture, and grassy riverside meadows and
parklands. There’s even a nice 21st-century buzz to the place, as dot-commers settle
into what has become known as “Silicon Fen.”

Getting from London to Cambridge:

Train to Cambridge:

Trains depart from London as often as every 15 minutes throughout the
day. (Other trains take a bit over an hour.)
The first direct train from London departs at 4:45am and the last direct train returns
to London at 11:21pm. The standard day return fare is £17 ($31).
The Cambridge train station is located south of town on Station Road.
You can walk or take a bus or taxi from the train station to Market Square and the
center of town, about a mile (1.5km) away; buses run about every 15 minutes and the fare is 90p ($1.70).

Bus to Cambridge:

Buses operated by National Express leave London’s Victoria Coach Station for Cambridge every half-hour to hour
throughout the day. Try to take a bus that makes the trip in less than 2 hours—some
make more stops and take quite a bit longer. The day return fare is £10 ($19). An
advantage to taking the bus rather than the train is the central location of the Cambridge bus station, on Drummer Street at the edge of the city-center pedestrian zone.

Cambridge by car:

Cambridge is about 60 miles (97km) north of London on the M11. Parking in Cambridge is scarce and rather expensive.
There are public lots scattered throughout the city center; these include Lion Yard
Car Park, Grafton Centre Car Park, Park Street Car Park, and Queen Anne Terrace
Car Park. You’ll pay about £1.40 ($2.30) per hour for parking, and about £12 ($22) for 4 or 5 hours. The park-and-ride sites in outlying areas (well marked from entrances to the city) are less expensive, and regular bus service connects them with the city center.

GETTING AROUND Cambridge:

Cambridge (pop. 111,000) is an easily walkable city with two main streets. Trumpington Road—which becomes Trumpington Street, King’s Parade, Trinity Street, and finally St. John’s Street—runs parallel to the River Cam and provides easy access to several of the colleges. Bridge Street, the city’s main shopping zone, starts at Magdalene
Bridge; it becomes Sidney Street, St. Andrew’s Street, and finally Regent Street.
Taxis are available at the train station; if you need one elsewhere in town, call A1 Taxis.

Cambridge hotels:

There are plenty of Good hotels in Cambridge and cheap hotels in cambridge, just use our search box to get one.

A Day in Cambridge:

You won’t have time to see all the colleges, and some are not of great architectural interest anyway. To see a nice swath of colleges from the outside and to get a sense of the university’s grandeur, take a stroll along the Backs—the meadows between the colleges
and the River Cam.
Start at 1 Market Square . From there, follow King’s Parade and take a right on
Silver Street to 2 Queens’ College (& 01223/335-511), founded in 1448 and
named for Margaret of Anjou, the wife of Henry VI, and Elizabeth, wife of Edward
IV. The college straddles both banks of the River Cam, which you cross using the
famous wooden Mathematical Bridge—or infamous, as unfounded stories hold that
students have taken it apart and been unable to reconstruct it. The bridge is one of
many architectural landmarks at Queens’ College that include the handsome brick
16th-century President’s Lodge, and The Tower, where the great scholar, Erasmus,
lived from 1510 to 1514. Hours vary, but the college is generally open to the public
from October 20 to March 21, daily from 1:45 to 4:30pm; at other times, from 10 or
11am to 4:30pm—check at the porter’s lodge. The entrance fee is £1.50 ($2.75).
Head back down King’s Parade to 3 King’s College (& 01223/331-100,
or 01223/331-155 for the chapel), founded by Henry VI in 1441 and justifiably
famous for its choir and the traditional Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which is
broadcast every Christmas Eve. Even without the presence of these heavenly voices,
the chapel is a fairly transcendental place, with its incredible fan vaulting, stained-glass
windows, and, behind the altar, Rubens’s glorious Adoration of the Magi, painted in
1634. Step into the small exhibition room to read about the chapel’s history.
Try to attend a choral service for the full experience. You can normally hear Evensong
Monday through Saturday at 5:30pm and Sunday at 10:30am and 3:30pm, but only during university terms and during the first half of July; call to check. The chapel is closed December 26 through January 1, and
often without notice for recording sessions and rehearsals. King’s Parade turns into Trinity Street, which will lead you to 4Trinity College
the largest and wealthiest of Cambridge’s colleges, founded by
Henry VIII in 1546. (The king is irreverently commemorated in a statue on the Great
Gate in which he clutches a chair leg instead of a sword—the alteration was a student
prank.) Trinity has produced 31 Nobel Laureates and famous alumni include former
Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru; the scientist Sir Isaac Newton; poets and
writers Francis Bacon, Lord Tennyson, Lord Byron, Andrew Marvell, and John Dryden;
and philosopher Bertrand Russell. The 2-acre (.8-hectare) Great Court—the
largest enclosed courtyard in Europe—is the scene of the Great Court Run, the point
of which is to run around the court in the time it takes the clock to strike noon, a
scene you may remember from the movie Chariots of Fire. Pass through the hall at the
west end of the court to Nevile’s Cloister and the impressive Wren Library, designed
by Sir Christopher Wren, the 17th-century architect of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Wren also designed many of the furnishings in the library, and among busts of Sir Isaac Newton and other famous alumni you’ll come upon a statue of Lord Byron,sculpted by Danish Neoclassicist Bertel Thorvaldsen in the early 19th century and intended for Westminster Abbey. The college (not including the library) is open to the public daily from 10am to 5pm, but it closes during exams and at other periods, and
certain parts may be closed the day you visit; ask at the porter’s lodge before you pay admission, which is £2.20 ($4.10) for adults, £1.30 ($2.40) for seniors and students.
The library is open free of charge to the public Monday to Friday from noon to 2pm and Saturday from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
From the library, head toward the Backs and follow the Cam up to 5 St. John’s Bridge , a replica of the Bridge of Sighs in Venice; the span joins the New Court of St. John’s College, a 19th-century neo-Gothic fantasy of pinnacle and towers students
call the “Wedding Cake,” with the older, authentically Tudor section of the college,founded by Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII, in 1511; the poet William Wordsworth was an alumnus of St. John’s. Take St. John’s Street to Magdalene (pronounced “maud-len”) Street. It leads to 6 Magdalene College (& 01223/
332-100), where the Pepys Library houses the diarist’s collection of 3,000 volumes
(open to the public 2 hr. a day; check with the porter); and Jesus College (& 01223/
339-339), founded in 1492 on the site of a nunnery. The chapel has been enlivened
with stained-glass windows designed by Edward Burne-Jones and a ceiling by William.

restaurants in cambridge:

The Anchor PUB Looking out on a raft of punts and the willow-fringed river
from a position opposite Queen’s College, the Anchor is loaded with atmosphere—
inside you’ll find wooden beams, sloping ceilings, and odds and ends such as cider
pots and prints. It serves such traditional homemade English pub grub as battered cod
and plaice; lamb-and-vegetable or leek-and-potato pies; or sausage, eggs, and chips.
Come here for real ale, as well as the usual selection of lagers and bitters.

What to do in Cambridge:

• A concert by the internationally famous King’s College Choir.
• The eclectic Fitzwilliam Museum, where you can see the first draft of
Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale.”
• The Tower at beautiful Queens’ College, where the great scholar, Erasmus,
lived from 1510 to 1514.
• Punting along the River Cam

All you need to know about london transport fares

LONDON UNDERGROUND:

London has the oldest and most comprehensive subway system in the world, and all of the city’s train stations can be reached by subway. So can three of our day trips: to
Greenwich, Hampstead, and Kew Gardens.
The subway is called the Underground or the London Tube.

All you need to know are the name of your stop, the london underground lines that go there,
and the direction you’re heading. After you figure out which line(s) to take, look on
the Underground map for the name of the last stop in the direction you need to go.
The name of that last stop on the line is marked on the front of the train and often
on electronic signboards that display the name of the arriving train. The signage within the Underground system is clear and helpful.

Most of the Underground system operates with automated entry and exit gates. You feed your ticket into the slot, the ticket disappears and pops up again, the gate bangs open, and you remove your ticket and pass through. At the other end you do the same
to get out, but the machine keeps the ticket (unless your ticket is good for more than one trip, in which case it is returned to you). If you are using a Travelcard, your ticket
will be a hard-plastic card, much like a credit card, that you swipe over a panel at the entry and exit gates.
Traveling to your destination by Underground may require transferring from one Underground line to another. All London Underground maps clearly show where various lines
converge. Signs in the stations direct you from one line to another. To get from one
line to another, you go through tunnels (which the Brits call “subways”), and you may
have to go up or down a level or two. If, for instance, you are trying to get to Victoria
Station from Russell Square, you’ll need to take the Piccadilly Line toward
Heathrow, then transfer at Green Park to the Victoria Line and travel in the direction of Brixton.
Underground service stops around midnight (a little earlier on less-used lines); keep that in mind if you plan on arriving back in London on a late train.
Security throughout the Underground system increased dramatically following the terrorist attacks in July 2005. Please note that bags and backpacks may be subject to inspection by uniformed personnel and that unattended packages or suitcases are quickly reported and confiscated.

BUYING UNDERGROUND TICKETS:

You can purchase Underground tickets at the ticket window in the station or from one
of the automated machines found in most stations. (Machines can change £5, £10,
and £20 notes, and some take credit and debit cards.) Fares to every station are posted.
For fare purposes, the city is divided into six zones. Zone 1 covers all of Central
London. Zone 6 extends as far as Heathrow to the west and Upminster to the east.
Make sure your ticket covers all the zones you’re traveling through, or you may have
to pay a £10 ($19) penalty fare.
At press time, a single-fare one-way ticket within one zone cost a whopping £3
($5.50). Tickets are valid for use on the day of issue only.

SAVING WITH TRAVELCARDS:

Paying a full-price one-way fare every time you use the Underground is costly. To save
money, consider buying a Travelcard, which allows unlimited travel by Underground
and bus. Not only will you save money, but you will enjoy the freedom of nipping around London without worrying about paying each time you step onto a bus or the
Underground. You can purchase these cards at any Underground station ticket window,
or from vending machines that take credit cards. At press time, the following
Travelcards were available:
• A 1-Day Peak Travelcard for Zones 1 and 2 (everything in Central London)
costs £6.20 ($11.50) for adults, £3.10 ($5.60) for children ages 5 to 15.
• The 3-Day Peak Travelcard for Zones 1 and 2, good for travel on any 3 consecutive
days, costs £15.40 ($28.50) for adults, £7.70 ($14.20) for children ages 5 to 15.
• The 1-Day Off-Peak Travelcard for Zones 1 and 2 costs £4.90 ($9) for both
adults and children; the card is valid after 9:30am weekdays and all day Saturday
and Sunday.
• The 3-Day Off-Peak Travelcard for Zones 1 and 2 costs £18.90 ($35) for
adults, and £6 ($11.10) for children ages 5 to 15; the card is valid after 9:30am
weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday.

VISITOR TRAVELCARDS:

Another way to save money on London transportation is the London Visitor Travelcard,
which you can buy only in the United States and Canada. (They are not available
in London.) There are two kinds of Visitor Travelcards: the All Zone (good for
travel after 9:30am), and the Central Zone (good for Zone 1 only and without time
restrictions). Both allow unlimited travel on the Tube and bus and are available in 3-
or 7-day increments. Prices for the Central Zone Travelcard are $30 for 3 days, and
$42 for 7 days. The All-Zone Travelcard, which you can use for many of our recommended
day trips (see below), costs $36 for 3 days, and $78 for 7 days. You can buy
London Visitor Travelcards by contacting a travel agent.

USING YOUR ALL-ZONE VISITOR TRAVELCARD FOR DAY TRIPS:

We’ve discovered that it’s often cheaper to buy an All-Zone Travelcard and pay supplemental
rail fares to day-trip destinations than it is to buy a BritRail pass. The All-
Zone card covers a very large area in and around London. You can use it to get to
Greenwich, Hampstead, and Kew Gardens at no additional cost. For longer day trips,
simply show your All-Zone Travelcard at the ticket window of a London train station
and tell the clerk you want to pay the supplemental fare to your destination. This way,
your fare does not begin until you reach the end of Zone 6. You can get to places such
as Windsor, St. Albans, Dover, Lewes, and Brighton for less than £7 ($12) return, and
the costs of longer-distance day trips will also be reduced. Remember, though, that the
All Zone card can only be used “off peak,” or after 9:30am.

When to Go: Day Trips for All Seasons

SPRING

English gardens are at their peak in spring. This is the time to enjoy the world
acclaimed plantings at Sissinghurst Castle Garden and Hidcote Manor (in the
Cotswolds), as well as the gardens at Hever Castle and Leeds Castle.
The sky stays light well into the evening, so you’ll have extra time to get the most
out of any day trip you make.

SUMMER

All of England seems to move outdoors in summer, and you can enjoy the grounds of
such houses and castles as Knole, Monk’s House and Charleston, and Windsor.
Summertime weather enables you to get the most out of a visit to Battle, St.
Alban’s, Stonehenge, and other places where you’ll spend a good portion of your time
out of doors.
Many cities, Winchester and Salisbury among them, host lively summer festivals.

You can include a long walk and other outdoor activities on your day-trip schedules—
walk along the White Cliffs after visiting Dover Castle, punt along the River
Cam in Cambridge, or bicycle through Oxford.
Kew Gardens, Greenwich, Hampton Court, and Hampstead provide welcome
and handy retreats from the London heat. A day trip to Brighton can include a dip
in the sea.

AUTUMN

The Cotswolds are especially alluring in the fall, when the air is crisp and forested
hillsides are a carpet of color.
Crowds thin out, so you’ll find it easier to enjoy such popular spots as Bath, Canterbury,
Stratford-upon-Avon, and York.

WINTER

English towns are especially welcoming in the winter. With its cobbled lanes and cozy
inns, Rye is an appealing place to spend a winter’s day or an overnight. Wherever you
go—whether you enjoy a country lunch in a Cotswolds village or nip into a Rochester
pub for a pint—you’re likely to find yourself sitting in front of a roaring fire.
Many day trip destinations provide a wealth of indoor activities to get you out of
the winter chill—the museums and chapels of Cambridge and Oxford, the medieval
monuments of York, the staterooms of Hampton Court and Windsor, the tunnels
of Dover Castle.

When you travel to London, you should know that viewing London from Thames is the most intense way to go in London and is heap of fun. There are nine piers from which to stop or start one’s journey.

Reminders of days gone by are still to be seen along the banks of the river. The classic design of Greenwich contrasts with the modern style of Canary Quay . To go by water is an example of the best tactics to find a way around London. At the time of the Romans till the 18th century there had been only 1 bridge across the Thames, and naturally it was clogged with traffic. It was faster and simpler to hire water boats to hold travelers from one bank to the other, or up and down the Thames.

The early 19th century saw a proliferation of canals built into and around London, customarily for products transport. These canals slipped out of service as rail transport turned into a usable option, but now they supply a relaxing way to go about the town.

Another tour starts from Hampton Court, that has been the Royal residence for centuries from the 16th century onwards. The route this ship sails is the same as the kings used to go to Hampton Court. One passes many widely recognized bridges like Westminster Bridge, Lambeth Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge. Going thru 2 locks thru a ship is rather an experience in itself. One distinguished feature is the further away one comes away from the centre of London, the more expensive the homes became. There also are more yachts which slowly became more costly too. The better part of tour was the natural view.

Infrequently it looked that one wasn’t in London any more. There had been nothing apart from peace and silence all around and all one could hear was the battering of the ship itself.
