Time lapse sur la beauté de la ville nocturne de Londres. One Week in London - An Itinerary for a First-Time Visit to London. Article submitted by Rachel Coyne . Whether you go there for the history, the museums , the theater , or to see if the food really is that bad, a trip to London should be on even the most infrequent traveler's to-do list.

My friend and I found a week to be a good amount of time to check out many of the typical tourist spots, as well as a few personal interest sites that are off the traditional path. Before heading out to London for a week, make sure you have a few things taken care of: Check the weather forecast and pack (but don't over pack) accordingly. Day One: Arrive in London We arrived too early to check into our hotel, but since we were staying near Hyde Park and it was unseasonably warm for early October, it was the perfect opportunity to walk through the park. After having dinner at a restaurant near the hotel, we headed for the Grosvenor Hotel near Victoria station, where we were meeting up with a Jack the Ripper walking tour. Day Two: Hop-On, Hop-Off Day Three: Road Trip!

Before You Visit London for the First Time. London is a wonderful place to visit but you do need to plan in advance to make the most of your time. There is an incredible amount of options to consider: when to visit, where to stay, what to see... I hope this helps make the planning simpler for you.

We Londoners are known to regularly carry both our sunglasses and an umbrella.

The city sees a large increase in visitors in July and August (the hottest time of the year, usually). Etiquette in London Londoners are overall polite and helpful, provided you don't infringe in their personal space and aren't loud and obnoxious. Balade à Notting Hill. Une journée à Notting Hill, ça te dit? Ses petits magasins d’antiquité, ses maisons aux couleurs acidulées, ses bobos, ses cafés, son marché, son esprit bohème… Voici un petit itinéraire avec bonnes adresses, carte et photos. Eviter le samedi, sauf si on aime les bains de foule. La balade commence à la station Notting Hill pour se terminer à Ladbroke Grove. S’engager sur Portobello Road et repérer sur la droite au numéro 22 la blue plate dédiée à George Orwell. Ne pas louper ce petit magasin de plaques en fer avec des slogans rigolos.

Chiner dans les magasins d’antiquité et vintage. Il est temps de prendre un petit en-cas et de recharger les batteries, non? A quelques encablures se trouve un petit musée pas très connu: le museum of brands packaging & advertising. Sur le côté gauche de Portobello road, the Electric cinema. A gauche, sur Blenheim Crescent deux choses à voir pour les foodies. La librairie Books for Cooks, spécialisée comme son nom l’indique dans les livres de cuisine. Yo! Je veux être bonne: ...

Donc oui les chambres sont petites, bruyantes(faut bien sortir du pub d'en face! Ben oui ca fait du bruit!)

Pour sa proximité avec hide park, et ses écureuils sa statur de peter pan, son calme et sa volupté son romantisme a tomber... pour sa proximité avec oxford street, LA rue commercante. le paradis de la boule a facette face au magasin secret angels sur regent l'incontournable liberty of london carnaby pour un jean's chez pepe irregular choice dispo sur spartoo depuis peu, on ne trouve pas toutes les folles collections mais c'est un bon début ce serait pas hugh grant.
