No-one Speaks English in London!

I visited London on way to the airport

  • It's still a very interesting place with so many things going on, history, views etc It's not a good place to learn English; so many people were speaking foreign languages. As ever it was a bit of a culture shock.
  • I wasn't impressed by any of the new attractions - The Tate Modern , The London Eye or The Millennium Dome.
  • The comedy was crap.
  • You always lose a lot of time moving about even more taking the wrong tube etc
  • The cheapest place to stay is £11,but at least the North Gower St Hostel is central next to Euston Square.
    • Sat - went to Regents Park then down to look at the London Eye I would have gone on but 1. It's very busy so it's almost impossible to get a ticket 2. It's not that high, the ride only lasts 30 minutes and the ticket is £8.50 so it's poor VFM.

    and along the bank to the Tate Modern(pretty boring to me, I don't speak the language of art ,but there was nothing as interesting as the Dali's in the original Tate)
    Sun - South Kensington Museums . Big and Ok as museums go.
    Went to a Comedy club it was absolutely shite. When l was a lad comedians were quick, and wrote material which really said something as well as being funny. These new guys are pathetic in comparison.

    Mon - The Dome - the displays could have been so much better. It wasn't worth the £10 I paid. Maybe £3, £1 for the setting and £2 for the Blackadder film.
