What's a good part in London to stay where I won't get knifed by a bloody young chap?

How's the transit system?

Are all the tourist spots like museums , Buckingham palace, Harrods etc. In close proximity?

Are there any :mjpls: no nikkas zones?.

Is a week enough to do everything touristy?

I have 3 weeks vacation one will be in Hawaii thinking of england as another.

London is pretty cool ... Lots to do and see; fair few museums and tourist attractions .. Plus the weathers nice and the sundresses will be out :whew:

Just don't venture to Sc*nthorpe or the E3 :whoo:

London
im at airbnb right now

london is expensive as hell :lupe:

i mean anything under 125 a night is just a private room, meaning in some cacs house

i got my flight 681 roundtrip :blessed: with a stop in iceland

just need a room dammit :damn:

Yeah, London can be expensive. I haven't read most of the thread, but I agree with others in the thread:

- Get an Oyster card
- Find a hostel or cheap B 'n' B in Paddington, Camden (excellent bus links to most of the touristy places and has the added bonus of giving you the option of - if you fell like it - walking to Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road. Get a bus to Warren Street and the No. 14 gets you to South Kensington), or, at worst, house sit in somewhere like Highgate (there's usually someone looking when summer comes around).
- Greenwich is also nice and cheap. Feels a little like going outside London, but it has the Planetarium amongst other things.

Where in Iceland are you going? Went in January, and I didn't regret it.

I want to go to like 5 and take pictures

You really only need to see Stamford bridge and emirates the other ones to be honest are irrelevant lol...

Wembley looks like its out of the way if your staying central...

well the cheapest flight from toronto is toronto to iceland 2 hour stopover then iceland to england saves me like 300 from the next cheapest flight , so its not really like stepping out of the airport or anything.

takes notes

hostels are safe in london?

Yeah, get an Oyster card from any underground station for a week for bus and tube. It's about £65 last time I bought one.

We do have strikes soon, so you may not be able to buy it as easily. Might wanna double check that.

Why would he need to pay that much? He shouldn't get Zone 1-6... that's crazy.

He'll definitely need Zone 1 since that's central but the rest is dependent on exactly where he's staying.

@Emperor_ReinScarf Get a map of the tube (you'll find one in every station) and then have a look at the different areas you want to visit and what zones they're in.. that'll save you a lot of money.
