If you or your group is feeling more energetic there are also a number of walking tours e.g. Royal L




Whenever I visit a new city, at home or abroad, I like to find a bus tour which, depending the time I have available, allows me to get a quick overview of the city or if I have more time available allows for a more in depth look at the place.
If you want to see London for under a fiver there is a self guided tour using London's public bus system. Look at www.londonforfree.co.uk  for route instructions and a guide to what to look for at each stop.Personally, used travel trailers in minnesota I do not want to work that hard at sightseeing!
I really like the hop on hop off tours where I am transported from place to place, listen to a great commentary and have the ability to hop off at many of the London used travel trailers in minnesota attractions.  The Big Bus Tour, City Discovery, 365 Tours and the Original London Sightseeing used travel trailers in minnesota tour are just some of the companies that have the hop on hop off facility. They also have a number of different tours, depending on your interests- historical, general or shopping! Most of the buses are open top so take a water proof if you do want to sit in the open- the only constant about the English weather is its non predictability.
Some of the bus tours use headsets and provide commentary in 8 languages. On other tours you can learn and laugh with live commentary provided by professional used travel trailers in minnesota guides (how many laughs depends on the guide: some are more academic and rote in their delivery, others are born comedians!). Whoever you find yourself with you are guaranteed to learn amazing facts around every street corner.
Did you know? In front of Nelson s Column at the top of Whitehall there is a statue of Charles I. All distances from London are measured from this point. In mapping terms, it is therefore the centre of London .
As part of these tours most companies also offer a Thames river cruise (also hop on hop off). From the river you see the city from a different used travel trailers in minnesota perspective and also experience knowledgeable and interesting commentary.
If you are organizing a group or corporate event, these buses can be booked to transport large groups from A to B in London. The Tour Bus companies also specialize in tailor made itineraries depending on the group's interest, needs or budget. If you regularly organize corporate days and events most of the companies will negotiate special discounts for regular used travel trailers in minnesota customers.
If you or your group is feeling more energetic there are also a number of walking tours e.g. Royal London, The Beatles walking tour and my favourite, Ghosts by Candlelight! Our tour began at 4:30 and was particular atmospheric in the winter mist of a November evening!
If you do take a hop on hop off tour consider booking attractions tickets on line beforehand.  The tickets can be sent as e vouchers, posted (UK and internationally), or collected when in London.  Tickets may be offered at a discount price depending on the time of year, BUT more importantly some of the attractions have Fast track tickets.  You can wait in line more than an hour for  the more popular attractions on my visit to London during the summer the line to Madam Tussaud's extended beyond most people's level of endurance!
