London Thoughts: Folio Society-Thousand Best Houses in England

London Thoughts

My thoughts about London Attractions, London Food, and London Fun. I write about places I have visited in London, and I places I plan on visiting on my next trip to London.

I also like lists, so I have a number of London Top Tens. Feel free to disagree on where the best Cheese Shop in London is or what resturant has the best barbecue.

When something in the news about London catches my eye, I blog about that as well, but I'm not as up on London Current Events as I could be. If there is something you think I should be blogging about-please feel free to suggest it.

I like The BBC, DaveTV, ITV, and Channel 4-but mainly the science fiction is what I watch. I also read the occasional book about London, both fiction and nonfiction. My favorite London Guidebooks are the ones filled with photos that talk about all the touristy stuff in the city. I love the sound of a good accent and listen to a lot of audio books read by British readers.

I offer advice when I have advice to offer-such as think twice before riding the ferry down to Hampton Court, it's about a three hour trip as I recall. I also like Hostels and the cheap hotels near the British Museum, but they are not for everyone. When I win the Lotto, you can find me at The Savoy-well, for a coulpe of nights anyway.

British Food and America Food in London are topics near and dear to my heart. I like London Food and Pubs and Cheese and Barbecue and Fish&Chips-and well, just about everything-except salmon, I'm not a fan of salmon.

London is a great town for tourists and all the spots tourists are likely be has been the backdrop of some movie or TV Show. My first visit to London I stopped every few steps to take another photo. London can be grey and wet, but it is an amazing place to take pictures.

Feel free to comment or not. If you've a book you'd like me to review or an East End play you'd like me to see-just send me an email with the details.
