I was born in Britain, grew up in southern England and moved up to central London when I was a young adult. I had the good fortune to live and work in the heart of the city for several years before moving to America close to 30 years ago - I now like to return to London for vacations every year or so and still enjoy it immensely.
As such I feel that I have gleaned a certain amount of insight into various aspect of life in London and what it has to offer. Clearly there are many excellent travel guides for the London visitor, but the aim of this blog is to share some thoughts/tips/suggestions that probably aren't included in those books.
Some topics that I hope to touch on are where to stay and why, the Underground, London taxis, the Barclays Cycle Hire program (who knew London was a bike friendly city - not me until recently), the Royal Parks, lesser known but highly worthwhile things of interest, and restaurants/food/drink (spoiler alert - don't go to London for the beer, particularly if you're from a quality micro-brewery city)...
If you choose to read on I hope that you'll find one or two things of use.
