It often happens that when a child is imagined London as a boring city, especially by the stories they tell us and the movies we see. In our imagination, everyone dresses in gray or black. At 5, afternoon tea and a little later, not a soul on the street. Over time you enter age of travel and start the selection of destinations. When you have little time and even less money in their pockets, I think twice before buying tickets and start, if not for the destinations that you call more attention, dismissing those who know do not make you funny. London has always been for me among the latter group, and every child the idea that hammered my head reminding me how boring it was there.
In this way I let the years, ignoring the praise he did my friends when they returned to town to visit, until I had to go to me, not traveling for pleasure, but to accompany a person very close to an interview work. And then it happened. For those who have already been to London, it makes no sense to tell you the delights of this city, nor for those who are willing to come because they know that London is an amazing place, full of surprises, where there is no room for boredom or even not stay to live in the city for a long time because, as Dr. Johnson said: whoever is bored with London he is tired of life . Actually this is for those who think like a server you did before, and classified to the city of London between the dull destinations to visit when conditions permit. With fourteen million people living in the metropolitan area please tell me if we can not find anything around here. A multicultural explosion wakes every morning through the streets of London, slapping your senses at every turn and with every person you meet. It is a seething mix all races, cultures, backgrounds and languages of the world.
In the afternoons, as in any city, far from being closed at home, people are facing the road to enjoy the cafes, shops, streets, parks or pubs. There is an endless supply of restaurants to dine at almost any time of day, and live here in peace and harmony schedules typically English with the rest of the world. In London you will find attractions for all tastes: monuments, free museums, markets of all kinds, concerts, palaces, expositions a mighty river, the Thames, part of the city in two, and any of its banks may enjoy incredible views. We could say that this is only the beginning of a long list of possibilities offered by the city of culture, double-decker buses, Big Ben and the famous telephone booths. But of course there is always the possibility that in a foggy night you meet Jack the Ripper and give your holiday an unexpected turn.
