London tourists may often ask numerous questions about how to make their visits enjoyable to England's capital. It can be an expensive and daunting city and the most important query is about which cheap london hotel has available at both short and long-notice, where they are situated and which tourist sites are worth a visit. A number of visitors may even ask, "Is it worth booking a guided tour of the city?".
Well, this depends on what you want out of London, but on the whole it is not necessary. A great start for any trip is the city bus hop on and off tour. With a daily or weekend ticket you can travel as often as you want. This is perfect for huge cities, short visits or when there are simply too many things to choose from. The multi-lingual tour commentaries are also quite informative and interesting.
If possible it is always better to plan a trip in advance and buying a guide book is a good idea. There are so many to choose from that there will be one to suit your requirements; some offer a daily itinerary categorized into genres; for example culture, art, churches, food, and shopping.
There are even comedy guides available such as "Crap Days Out in Britain" which suggests slightly unusual places to visit, which are presented in a slightly disappointing way, although some are intriguing enough to warrant a visit.
Not everyone is organized enough to purchase guide books, but with the internet being what it is there is so much information available at your fingertips that you don't really need to plan. Most town centres have a tourist information centre, so when you arrive you can simply ask them for any advice on what to visit.
Many cities are fascinating places and by simply jumping on a tube or bus to the centre of the city and walking around, following road signs it is possible to stumble upon interesting things such as the Roman Temple of Mithras in the city of London, or the eighteenth century plunge bath near Temple tube station. Whilst you may not find these in the guide books they are great diversions on a city tour.
London is a fantastic city for tourists as there are so many free things to do and see. For example the vast majority of museums are free and by getting off the tube at South Kensington you have a full weeks' worth of museums to visits including the Victoria and Albert, Natural History, Science, and Geological museums. Each offers a wide selection of exhibits as well as a number of temporary exhibitions. In the centre of London you also have the infamous British Museum and the lesser known Petrie Museum and Wellcome institute.
Some other activities are popular but very expensive including Madame Tussard's Wax Museum, Buckingham Palace, the home of the Queen and St Paul's Cathedral. This list is endless, so a guided tour wouldn't be wasted money but it won't be a very personal experience. So once you have booked your hotels london st pancras awaits!
