Your first time in London? by DSGC

Dear students/teachers/travelers/readers/bloggers/human beings/aliens/whatever you're

DSGC here!


If you're a new student that wants some advices about travelling in this whole new country for you.  WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE EUROCENTRES! I'm sure that you will enjoy your stay here, and I will be doing, through this blog, my best to help you in this new city/school.

First of all. As the title says, you want to go to London for your first time ever, and I suppose that you're not totally sure about what you will be doing on London, or how to do the things you want to do. Perfect, no problem.

Let me tell you that London is not the type of city where you can get lost easily (If you ask questions as: "How can I go to......?" in the underground, you'll be fine there.). Is it a big city? Yes it is. There you can stay one week going to new places everyday and you won't be done there.

Fine, London is a big, safe and entertaining city, LET'S GO!!!


 
NO,
 
 
WAIT!




BEFORE visiting amazing places such as London eye, the HUGE Buckingham palace (believe me, is HUGE [700 rooms is enough?]), the Westminster Abbey, the Parliament House (with Big Ben in), Tower Bridge, etc.  You have to know WHY they are there, or inclusive WHAT THEY ARE.

I really recommend you THIS before going to so big and amazing places in London:
 
 
 

New Europe is a company doing FREE walking tours around Europe, and guess what: they are in LONDON!

It's free and very interesting. I really recommend you going with this tour to know the city, and understand what had happened to London during the centuries to become the city that is nowadays.


Last recommendation:
Spend 1 day with morning's free tour in Old London (where you go to see House of parliaments, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey), and in the afternoon go to the New London Tour.

With both of this tours you're done. Believe me.
AFTER this go another day to attractions, or two days, or the days you like.

In just one day you will pay almost nothing and you will have seen the 80% of what London is.

And if you don't like it you have the right to go to throw rocks at my window.

Enjoy your staying.


See you in another life!

DSGC

  1. Thank you for your post, great to have the links!

    Grammar focus:

    'If you do questions as..' (if you ask questions such as)

    'Is a big city?' (is it a big city?)

    Big Ben doesn't carry the definate article 'The'
