 London
is a cosmopolitan mixture of the Third and First Worlds, of
chauffeurs and beggars, of the establishment, the avowedly working class and
the avant-garde. Unlike comparable European cities, much of London looks
unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal. Visiting London is
like being let loose on a giant-sized Monopoly board clogged with traffic.
Even though you probably won't know where you are exactly, the names will at
least look reassuringly familiar. The city is so enormous, visitors will
need to make maximum use of the underground train system: unfortunately,
this dislocates the city's geography and makes it hard to get your bearings.
Doing some traveling by bus helps fit the city together
