London attractions: London Eye (aka London wheel, Millennium Wheel)
Although London is a great place for tourists with a lot of signs and historical places, London Eye (aka “Eye” and “Millennium Wheel”) is definitely a “must-see” when visiting London. Read the rest of this page »
British Airways sponsored London Eye, so it officially named “the British Airways London Eye” while visiting observation wheel called “flight”.
Eye grants you the best bird’s eye views of London. It’s incredible photogenic at sunset.
It moves slowly, so you will have enough time for Central London sightseeing and enjoy the ride.

London seafood restaurants
I’d like to advise you trying seafood. It’s a source of protein in many diets around the world. There are many seafood restaurants with food of great quality. They suggest trying any sea animal or seaweed that is served as food or is suitable for eating. These restaurants offer Bouillabaisse, Calamari, Ceviche, Cioppino, Clam chowder, Moules frites, Sashimi, Sushi by the best Fresh Seafood Recipes. I suggest the best seafood restaurants include celebrity favorites for romantic meals out and restaurants, which welcome larger groups, and also London seafood restaurants average prices.

Japanese restaurants in London
All the good Japanese restaurants in London are fairly expensive.It is very difficult to get good value for money for Japanese in London.
Good Japanese food in London is generally expensive. Cheap sushi is available in Tescos, Sainsburys and other supermarkets but you get what you pay for.

London restaurants with kids
There are two places all kids love, whether London or Brighton, and that’s Gourmet Burger Kitchen (best burgers in London!) and Wagamama (oriental, not Chinese, some Japanese + Thai blend style) . This restaurant will appease all of you.
Both informal dinning experiences, child-friendly with kids menu & portions to suit.
Try Giraffe, locations around London.

Shopping in London: visiting London markets
Visiting London on Sunday will be fine to go to all the markets.
Camden Read the rest of this page »
London doesn’t have a ‘day of rest’ as such and Camden will definitely be lively. Camden market on Saturday will be rammed – the tube only lets people get off at Camden then and not back on to get away. There are also lots of eating stuff there too. Camden Market is one of London’s top attractions. It’s a young place, but somehow seems to bring out the youngster in everyone. Virtually everything is on sale here, clothing, music, antiques (though this sector is shrinking – not a patch on Paris’ St Ouen Marche aux Puces), collectibles, ethnic art, rugs and kelims, food and drink. It does tend to get a bit crowded on Sundays, and you could think yourself back in the swinging sixties, it has such high sales it’s ow the UK’s 4th biggest retailer. As a matter of fact that’s a must on your stop in London because if you want to get a few more things. Also, the food there is great and there is a Starbucks right across the bridge if you’re missing home.

London for teenagers
If you are staying in London with teens, there are good places to visit, but a lot of depends on your teens’ tastes.
Go to the Tower of London and take the Beefeater tour (yeoman warders are what they’re called). Try to go first thing in morning before the crowds.
Take them to Camden Market for shopping. Other shops they’ll like are Top Shop and H&M. The London Eye is fun.Consider a day trip outside London also. London Walks has a lot of interesting walks and some day trips. A lot of people like the Jack the Ripper Walk.

London Dining with Kids
On the splurge issue, I think it’s impossible to name two don’t miss places w/o determining type of food or ambiance. One of the things I love about London is their ethnic food, esp. Indian which is far superior to anything in the US.
My favorite was always Bomabay Brasserie for both food and over the top ambiance. Rules is the popular place for an upscale, English meal (owned by the same folks as the Ivy, another popular place). I like Langans Brasserie for the “buzz” of the downstairs dining room or the Venice mural in the upstairs. Read the rest of this page »
