SUGGESTIONS

VISIT THE SOUTH BANK: spend a day along the River Thames.

# Spend a day strolling along the south bank of the River Thames the most delightful part of London.

# The South Bank will bewilder you with its architectural diversity and the variety of plays, shows and concerts.

# But more than anything it is the perfect place for a languid or romantic stroll. There is nothing more relaxing than watching Old Father Thames rolling on by.

# Although the day starts with old London, i.e. the Tower Bridge Exhibition, its main focus is modern London; the Tate Modern, the Design Museum and Norman Foster's London City Hall.

# You'll get the chance to dine next to the Thames, first at Butler's Wharf Chop House, where you can experience British food and later on at the Oxo Tower, with its beautiful views of the city.

# End the night taking in a play, show or concert.

Hi there...the cheapest and easiest way to get around London is the public transport system...you can buy a 'one day travelcard' for around £8..that will give you underground (subway) bus and train within a specified area...if you are flying into heathrow then there is an underground/subway station located at the airport...and you can pay cash/credit card to get your ticket...the journey into central London is around twentyfive to thirty minutes depending on which part you wish to visit...you can also buy tickets for a a fully commented tour on an open top bus which you can hop off at various points and get back on board again...that again is one price...you can probably download a full map of the underground/subway system or if you ask at the station ticket office they will supply a pocket sized one free of charge...avoid taxis in London they can be expensive....I don't really know what else to say..other than try and work out which places you want to visit in advance...then plan your journey using a subway map...I go to London all the time and even I have to get a map out...try not to look like a lost tourist...keep your wits about you..watch your bag...but above all have fun in our nations capital.
