I read the article entitled 'London Calling' which listed all the fabulous hotels and restaurants in the Big Smoke. That was interesting in itself, but to be honest as a 'normal' person with a 'normal' wage, these are places that I would never go into because the prices are astronomical. Having lived in London for a few years, I found a wonderful range of affordable and stylish (dare I say it, trendy) restaurants that deserve a mention. Particularly around the streets of Soho. It would be great to see some of these reviewed.

How about your budget for traveling to UK.
You'll need a huge amount on your pocket, my friend says that bread is the substitute for rice.
Believed me you'll never be hungry as long as you have a huge size of bread .

London and, indeed, the UK is a very expensive destination. I was born in London, and spent the first 25 years of my life there. And have also returned since for a holliday. Everything is - funnily enough - priced almost exactly as it is here in NZ. But you have to remember that is 3 x your dollar.

Those contemplating the trip (like the poster above) should be watching exchange rates on a daily basis and choosing the right times to "swoop" into a bank and get some pounds sterling.

I also strongly recommend good, comprehensive travel insurance. "Petty" crime is rampant there. From hotel-room break-ins to have your pockets pinched.

And for those who wish to use the UK as a "stepping-stone" for a foray into Europe, do visit Kent (a most beautiful, historic county). From Dover, you can hop onto a ferry to France or Belgium. I know airfares are cheap but they are an enormous hassle to book and airport queues are so dull and time-consuming.

London is a one of the most favorite travel destination but it is very pretty much expensive destination and all the hotels and lodges are comparatively too expensive than the others as well.

London is a great destination for foodies because it has got all the most famous and renowned culinary food chains in the world. This place is also a great hub for international travelers for the fabulous sightseeing attractions as well.

London is one of the richest places in the world. There are some areas in London which are extremely expensive such as Mayfair and Belgravia. You can find people in these towns with security outside their houses.
