No one can truly say they know London well. To know London completely is impossible. London changes faster than pigeons descending into the fountains of Trafalgar Square. Home to inhabitants for over 2,000 years now London has grown from the protective circle of the Tower to a sprawling metropolis, the ideal platform for constant illustrious activity.

Always where there is history there are tales to tell. Tourists are naturally drawn to the regular tourist attractions, yet it is the true travellers that seek deeper to find the gems of a 2,000 year-old town. IIt only takes a very small amount of investigating to find something more rewarding, more interesting, more inspiring in London, than the London Dungeons (although it must be said ? is a damn good laugh if you can bear the hour long queues!).

Hotels Blackpool
Fancy a fun weekend away in one of the UK`s most famous resorts? The delights of seaside fun and frolics await you in barmy Blackpool and if you haven`t visited this Lancashire resort before, you have a treat in store. Look for accommodation in the area and you`ll find there`s tons of Hotels Blackpool where you could stay for a few days. They vary from cheap and cheerful establishments to four star businesses thus catering for people with varying budgets. Quite a number of charming bed and breakfast Hotels Blackpool can be found and they represent excellent value for money. Theey are run by friendly and welcoming hosts that want you to enjoy your stay and they can add to the pleasure of a trip to the seaside. Stay in one of the Hotels Blackpool for a few days and you`ll have plenty to see and do. Spend a day on the beach watching the kids taking donkey rides or head to the pleasure beach where a wide range of thrilling rides await. A trip to blackpool wouldn`t be the same without paying a visit to the Tower with its famous ballroom. Here you enjoy a drink and something to eat as you watch dancers waltz by. There`s something for everyone in this super seaside resort as you`ll find out for yourself if you book into one of the Blackpool hotels.

Rv Rental Uk
I`ve been lucky this year. I`ve already taken in the stunning scenery that Scotland, The Lake District and Devon has to offer and in each location I have longed to stay a little longer. Don`t get me wrong, I love heading off abroad on holiday and soaking up the sun. However, the UK has so many beautiful areas to explore and when the sun finally breaks through there can be no better place to spend some quality free time. My recent trip to Devon was all too short and I dearly wished that I could have spent a few weeks exploring the area then moving further south in Cornwall. It`s certainly something that I intend to do in the future and I might even consider an Rv Rental Uk as part of the holiday. I`ve never hired a motor home before but the latest Rv Rental Uk models are really appealing. A family of four can travel in style and there`ll be bags of room on the inside. Those who take part in the Rv Rental Uk will find they are travelling in a real home from home. A fixed rear double bed is provided as well as another double over the driver`s cab. I`ve been lucky on my travels within the UK this year and my next adventure on home soil will involve the use of a remarkable recreation vehicle.

For instance, not even a minute?s walk from the London Dungeons is the Hay?s Galleria. This gem is for some totally bizarre reason hidden from all guidebooks and tourist information ? no doubt to preserve its lack of thousands of tourists making it a less exclusive haven. Please go there! It?s a beautiful indoor/outdoor menagerie of a few select shops, with a vast concourse of cafes, market stalls, bands, presentations, and of course, it overlooks a beautiful part of the Thames.

Turn right from Hays Galleria and you find yourself in a Thames-side walkway next to the newest buildings in town. The architecture is phenomenal, and these lord-mayor buildings are still so new that you can imagine that the cellophane has just freshly been peeled off all the windows. You are welcome to enter the Lord Mayor?s building (it?s the one shaped like a golf ball), go to the top and marvel at the mind-boggling roundness of it all ? plus of course see the spectacular views of the HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge & the Tower of London. Continue strolling directly into the I-Witness open-air gallery, before maybe snacking on a hot-dog in the mini-fairground.

Walk past the green that previously hosted many Hollywood film premieres in giant marquees, the David Blaine in-a-box episode, plus many other varied events, and you are literally underneath Tower Bridge, keep walking and you are now in Shad Thames, a true delight of traffic-free, cobbled streets full of people, giving you a precise feeling of how the London streets felt hundreds of years ago. It is as if these streets have been restored from long ago, thus delivering to the traveller a wonderfully rich blend of old and new in the same vicinity. Circle around Shad Thames, past the ever-changing Design-Museum, and find yourself in Butlers Wharf, a charming quay-side collection of bars & restaurants all overlooking the Thames opposite the equally picturesque St Katherine?s Dock. Trust me when I tell you that Butlers Wharf is the ultimate in romantic settings.

Hays Galleria to Butlers Wharf is one walk of quite possibly hundreds to choose from, in fact ? that?s a whole day right there! There are equal delights even if you turned left out of Hay?s Galleria instead, especially the Clink Street Prison Museum, Vinopolis (Wine Museum), Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, I could go on?.

Great streets, great walks, great museums (forget the big-ones ? go to the Children?s museum in Bethnal Green for a real treat). It is frustrating to think that the bulk of visitors to London wind up staying in some of the least interesting areas. Paddington & Bayswater are both great areas, being so close to Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens (now home to the finally-completed Princess Diana shrine). Kensington & Earls Court have their highlights too, but there is more to London than the tried and tested tourist routes.

I recently stayed in a five star hotel in the middle of the city on the weekend for less than one hundred pounds a night, and was amazed at exactly how completely empty the city of London was. I was in heaven! There I was in the middle of one of the oldest cities around, and I had it all to myself! City hotels are notorious for being completely empty on weekends, hence the great rates. I am sure tourists pay over the hundred pounds per night threshold to stay in ?trendy? Kensington etal, when they could easily stay next to Tower Bridge, St Paul?s, Millennium Bridge etc, for much less.

Needless to say that the City of London (the financial centre) is absolutely coloured with history, everywhere you go there are buildings proclaiming their 16th century origins, and they are in abundance.

I was recently taken to what is supposedly one of the oldest London pubs in existence. Again, this pub is not only hidden from the guidebooks and the common information sources, it is also hidden from the public! I had to be taken there, as I would never have been able to find it unless accompanied. This pub is hidden from the world. It is sandwiched between two narrow streets and therefore completely obscured from any main thoroughfare. It has its own courtyard and as you stand supping a pint outside, it is as if you are in Victorian London. Look down the misty streets and it is easy to conjure up an old bobby on the beat blowing his whistle, or Jack the Ripper lurking in the shadows. Oh - and there?s a 150 year old tree growing through the building, to add to the oddity of the pub.

Hampstead is another great area waiting to be discovered. Covered in green spaces, Hampstead (North London) is perfect for the idyllic setting combined with the close proximity to the big-smoke. Steeped in its own folklore, Hampstead was home to Dick Turpin (apparently he was born at the Spaniard?s Inn ? hugely popular and famous pub on the Heath) of which his ghost still roams Kenwood house, and the surrounding woodlands. The high streets of Hampstead, Belsize Park, and the immaculately kept Primrose Hill are possibly the last untouched-by-commercialism streets in London (no Starbucks here!). If you want breath-taking views of the city, historical sites detailing the ?first entry point into London?, combined with al-fresco dining, and an altogether more relaxed atmosphere, Hampstead is the place, and less than 15 minutes on the tube to the city centre! Now do you see why it seems frustrating that tourists stay in less desirable areas when they could stay in an altogether more inspiring location, just as close to all the major attractions?

Of course, Hampstead is one of London?s many beauty spots, yet the city is not all about beauty. As with any home to approximately 10 million people, varied activity is rife. London events cannot help but affect all, every Londoner has an opinion on the congestion zone, on the ill-fated Millennium Dome, on Tony Blair, in fact on any topic you care to mention. Start a conversation with any London black-cab driver ? typically famous for their outspoken views, and you will find yourself immediately thrown into the debate of the day.

So, when visiting London do not even attempt to see it all ? you cannot.

In a city where already this year a Roman road has been uncovered a mile below ground level dating back to 1 AD, and where Paddington workers uncovered Brunel?s first iron-bridge ? one they didn?t know existed - London is forever creating wonders on a regular basis.
