Travel Guides

Well, dear friends, you are not greenhorns anymore. Of course, you still don’t master the charming Cockney accent, but are not a foreigner visitor in the happy city of London. And if happens that you read some English books in the pre Internet era, there were sure some books about London.

Westminster Abbey is a landmark of London

I think that no other mega city was so much sung and spelled like London! Oliver Twist, Sherlock Holmes, British Queens and Kings and much many others pale when comparing them to London. As London is for sure much better painted in all those books!

London for book lovers, this is the event I am proposing to you first! Use the guided tours, or simply take a map and try to discover the magic of London as it breaths in many notorious books. If you wanna get something from Charles Dickens‘ naturalism and discover the traces of  Oliver Twist, visit the poor neighborhoods of London. Or walk along The Tower Bridge over the Thames to get a flair of  “Our Mutual friend”, also a Dickens masterpiece.

London is an historic city, built on centuries of commerce, culture and politics but foremost amongst all the capital cities in the world it has continual held a reputation for forward thinking and cutting edge, and makes for a wonderful place to visit with the old and new coexisting seamlessly side by side.

One of the best ways to see the sprawling city and surrounding areas is to take a guide tour, and companies like Hospitality Line (www.hospitalityline.co.uk) run a number of varied tours that should suit the needs of most visitors.
