Security:
London is a relatively safe city, and you are able to go anywhere in the centre at any time - in some districts a little more caution is advised - at the North End of Notting Hill, in Brixton and anywhere South of Elephant and Castle you'd be better not to produce a large billfold in a narrow sidestreet.If you loose your credit card the UK number for Visa is 0800-89-1725.

Sights:
The Royal Family have their main residence in London, at Buckingham Palace, but there are many other interesting houses to visit within London with Royal connections - Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of London, and Regents Park, an ancient Royal hunting park. The Millenium Eye is a little wonder that allows you to see the whole city from the top.The Tower of London has a whole day’s worth of things to see just in itself - there are the White, Bloody and Martin Towers, where prisoners were held and often tortured, there are the Crown Jewels, displayed in a specially built jewel house, and don’t forget the Ravens, without whom the White Tower would supposedly fall, and a great disaster befall the Kingdom...Read more...

Food:
Breakfast is usually at about 08:00 and is either continental (bread, cereal, coffee, juice) or Full British, which in addition to the continental selection brings a coronary-inducing mixture of bacon, fried or scrambled eggs, fried bread, sausages (which are mostly bread, and under EU law can't be called sausages, so the euphemism 'banger' is often used), toast, marmalade (sour orange jam/jelly), with strong, white tea. Sometimes black pudding (effectively blood sausage) or porridge (oatmeal, traditionally with salt and water, though more likely with milk, cream and sugar) or kippers (smoked herrings, Scottish style - delicious) are added.
If you still have room, coffee is served at about 11:00, possibly with a snack, and lunch is 13:00 - most workers eat sandwiches, unless someone else is paying, when a long boozy lunch may stretch on til 15:00.
Tea (southern England) is at 16:00-17:00 and consists of fine sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and cakes, with a pot of weak tea. In the North of England tea is usually the main evening meal, served at 17:00-18:00.
Dinner is usually at about 20:00 - though it may be much later, in which case it's called supper, except on Sundays when dinner is the main lunchtime meal. Lively Londoners can eat quite late, though it's often difficult to find a restaurant that serves past 22:00 - 23:00.
If they've been out drinking most Londoners will go for a curry after the pubs shut at 23:00. Here you have some examples of average prices on: Fish & Chips - £4,Pint of ale - £2.50, Afternoon tea at The Ritz - £27,Scrumptious 2 course English lunch at Porters, Henrietta Street - £10...Read more...
