The story

They were 3 magnificent days! London is beautiful...and very clean! With public transport you can get everywhere! The only flaw is that they eat strangely, and to find somewhere to eat well and spend little you have to go either to McDonald's or a takeaway...I recommend a steak house if you want to eat a good steak, but be careful with the beers..they cost a fortune!! In London I got around Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, Greenwich, Notting Hill, the warship near Tower Bridge, the huge and wonderful Harrods department store, Piccadilly Circus, the Soho district (where all the gay and bisexual clubs are) and many other places.
