UK (London)
Country visited: United Kingdom
Places visited: London.
Dates: July 5th to July 12th 2017.
General tips:
(1) My first impression of London is that it looked a lot like Bangalore (my home town in India). Must be the trees and the old buildings.
(2) Fish and chips are overrated.
Getting the UK visa:
Takes a while (~ 2 weeks) so apply well in advance.
Airport to city:
Immigration was horrible. We waited in line for close to an hour. We took taxi to our hotel. Our hotel in the financial district. Although it was walk able to tower bridge and crown jewels, I wish we stayed at a better location since this place didn't have anything open (food) after business hours. Even the neighborhood Pret was closed after 6-ish. Surprisingly, I found the food very unimpressive in London. Fish and chips are overrated. I didnt like them at all.
Things to do in London.
