I want to take my girlfriend on a whirlwind winter romantic tour of London in the week before Christmas, just so we can gawp at the pretty Christmas lights and hopefully she’ll start to realise just what I love about London. Aside from ice-skating at Somerset House Ice Rink, do you have any other great romanti...

I have to play host to some American relatives on Tuesday. They’ve only got 6 hours so I think I’m gonna keep the sight seeing really central. You know – Leicester square, Nelson, the Queen’s house, Tony’s place and the big ferris wheel that sort of stuff. With time set aside for beers ...

Hey, my friend wants to take her Dad somewhere this weekend, he doesn’t often come down to London, but has done the usual tourist thing… He is fairly old and cannot walk that far – I suggested Walthamstow Dogs – anyone have any good suggestions? (having never actually done the dogs myself!)

Imagine you’re French, early 20s, female, and heading to our fair city for the VERY FIRST TIME for just one day this weekend… I’m thinking South Bank, Camden Mkt, Top Shop, Traf Sq, Picadilly Circus… The usual, but maybe with a little unusual thrown into the mix. What would you recommen...

I thought it was supposed to open in September. (Amora is the Academy of Sex and Relationships). Is it any good? Is it tacky or tasteful or Trocoderoish? I thought there was a thread on this, but I have lost it again.

OK my fellow Londoners… I have a friend of a friend coming to live and work in our fair city… she is coming from Australia on a one year visa, and before she arrives, I want to give her a feel for the city… So here is the question… is there any web site that gives some useful concise info abo...

You only get three bus journeys, I don’t want to pay for the usual tourist’s open roof double deckers. They don’t have to link, but it would probably be better if they did. Surely route 8 would be in there…

I’ve come to value the opinions on this site quite a lot, as you all seem to be savvy, well-adjusted, well-travelled and intelligent people (mostly!) What do you reckon about a feature on here which would allow people to ask for travel tips from the FCL intelligentsia? I wanted to ask if anyone had any must-se...

I’ve spent quite a lot of time looking for “hidden London” for my job, but the only ‘oh my god I just don’t believe it’ moment so far was finding the Buddhapadipa Thai temple amongst the mediumly posh houses around Wimbledon Common. This picture doesn’t do it anything lik...

My mum is visiting me for a few days in September. She hasn’t been to London before and I can’t wait to show her around. She loves the theatre so a West End show is a must! Which would you see/see again if you could?

When the chuggers go home, another breed of slightly annoying people come out to pray on us poor drunks – the rickshaw riders. Blocking our paths with their three wheeled sofas, ringing their bells like madmen in a campanology class, they will take sweaty tourists or overly rich drunks 500 metres for 20 quid. But we are sure some of them are nice.

Most of my family are descending on me this weekend – arrggh! My dad and his wife are visiting from New Zealand, and in a clever ploy not to have to put them up my sister, her boyfriend and my 11 year old niece are coming down from Derby for us all to meet up I need suggestions for some nice things to do...

Love London as we do, we know that some of this city’s tourist “attractions” don’t exactly represent value for money. According to a survey by the Sunday Telegraph, London’s fee-paying attractions are among the most expensive in the world. Read More

Can anyone please provide good knowledge of reasonably cheap lunchtime places to eat, drink and be merry – interspersed with nearby landmarks and knick-knack shops to visit – around Paddington on a Thursday ? I guess any must-see options you come up with can involve an afternoon of short bus/tube-rides ...
