Depending on where you’re having a good time in London, and where you need to get back/home to when you’re done, you may end up on public transport for quite some time. If you’ve perhaps had a drink or two and it’s late at night on a gently rocking train, it’s easy to fall […]
There is one exclusive ceremony in London that, with prior planning, anyone can experience. That event is the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London.
This ceremony has been performed daily for around seven hundred years. Originally a very practical event, where the Tower was locked every evening, it is now a […]
Everyone that visits London should visit the Tower of London. Built initially by William the Conquerer nearly a thousand years ago, it has served as a home for kings, a zoo, an armory, a prison (with torture devices), an execution site, and now as the home of the Crown Jewels. You can check […]
I set off a bit of a firestorm here on The London Traveler recently when I wrote about London pubs. Specifically, it was what I wrote about tipping at London pubs; it’s not necessary.

The British Airways London Eye is one of the two most eye-catching new additions to the London skyline in the last decade. Originally built as a temporary attraction for the millenium, it has become the most popular tourist attraction in London, visited by 3.5 million people a year. It’s perfectly placed to see […]
London is a beautiful and dynamic city, but there’s a lot of England and Britain to be enjoyed outside of London. One of the best ways to see the countryside is by train. Below is a guide to the destinations that are served by each of London’s major mainline train stations.
Charing Cross - […]
When shopping for Christmas gifts, there is only one store you need to go to for toys… Hamleys. It is by far the greatest toy store in all of London.
Hamleys started as a toy shop back in 1760, and first had a Regent Street location in 1881. They moved into the current Regent […]
Earlier this week I posted a Visitor’s Guide to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Today I’d like to talk about Thanksgiving in London… at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The United States and St. Paul’s have an interesting relationship. It was J. Pierpont Morgan who paid to have electricity installed in St. Paul’s back in 1903. After […]
