Charles Dickens Museum, London

canicholls — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:13:54 +0000

London has many placques marking addresses where Charles Dickens once lived, but the site of the Charles Dickens Museum is the only one of them still standing. He lived at this site from 1837 – 1840, during which time he wrote Nicholas Nickleby and Oliver Twist. Ring the doorbell to gain access to four floors of Dickensiana, collected over the years from various former residences. Nearest tube stations: Chancery Lane or Russell Square.

London River Walk

The riverside area known as the South Bank is one of London’s great success stories. The area is now home to many of its greatest attractions, all within easy walking distance. Start at Westminster tube station and take in the Houses of Parliament, with the famous Big Ben. Cross Westminster Bridge and turn left, past the London Aquarium for the unmistakable London Eye, then walk along the bank with the Jubilee Gardens to your right, passing Hungerford Bridge on your left. Just ahead is the Southbank Centre, a large arts centre. Beyond it stands the landmark architecture of the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre. From here you can enjoy the views across the water to Somerset House. Halfway between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridges is the Oxo Tower Wharf. Continue along the bank to arrive at the Bankside Gallery and the Tate Modern. Further along is Shakespeare’s Globe and to the left, the Millennium Bridge. Cross over the bridge and you will find yourself at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Visit London Parks

canicholls — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:26:47 +0000

Many tourists visit London to see its world famous sights such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Tower of London. Other visitors enjoy the splendid shopping experiences of Oxford Street, Bond Street and the Kings Road. What all visitors shouldn’t miss is a visit to a London park. London has more trees per resident than almost any city in the world, and many thousands of these are concentrated in its parks. Hyde Park is seen as London’s Central Park. Regent’s Park gas both open parkland and spectacular formal gardens. St James’s Park is a large green park in front of Buckingham Palace and is often used for ceremonial and state occasions. Walkers may enjoy Hampstead Heath or Richmond Park with their great expanses of rolling grassland. So if you are planning to explore London, pack a lunch and take a break in one of its Royal Parks.

Virgin London Marathon – 22 April 2012

canicholls — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:49:28 +0000

Whether you are planning to participate in the Virgin London Marathon or spectate and soak up the atmosphere, you can get a good night sleep before the event at any one of our London bed and breakfasts. As well as the event itself, you get to take in some of London’s famous landmarks and attractions as well. The course of the London Marathon basically runs along the River Thames on the south side and then the north side after crossing the river by the famous Tower Bridge. On the way from the start in Greenwich/Blackheath to Buckingham Palace, marathoners will pass a number of famous London landmarks, including Tower of London, London Eye and the Cutty Sark. Both London Underground and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) lay on extra services on Marathon Day, and this is by far the best way to get around if you are a spectator.
