Go to London
 From the Rick Steves' series. London is more than its museums and landmarks. It's a living, breathing, thriving organism... a coral reef of humanity. The city has changed dramatically in recent years, and many visitors are surprised to find how "un-English" it is. But this only adds to its rich cultural tapestry. You'll find delicious dishes from around the globe here: Chinese takeaways outnumber fish-and-chips shops. But London hasn't changed so much that you can't blow through the city with goosebumps, on the open deck of a double-decker sightseeing bus or take a pinch-me-I'm-in-Britain walk through the West End. Ogle the crown jewels at the Tower of London, hear the chimes of Big Ben, and see the Houses of Parliament in action. Just sit in Victoria Station, Piccadilly Circus, or a major Tube station and observe. Sip a pint in a pub with a yacky local, and experience British Invasion rock in its birthplace. In Rick Steves' London, you'll find Rick-tested information on trip planning, sightseeing priorities, festivals and holidays, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, mail and e-mail, restaurants, hotels, weather, and moreÉ - Walks: Westminster, Bankside, The City, West End.
