Ah, London: glorious, full of interesting things, place of creativity. Or is it? While it may be the capital of the UK, and considered by many to be the thriving epicentre of all things great and monetary and fashionable, some, in villages throughout the rest of the country, believe that London is ‘too busy’. Shockingly, they rarely visit the capital, and some are even scared to mention its name any louder than a whisper–
Here are some things about London that need to be said. Along with some advice if London is a strange and new thing to you.
1) London is actually a very friendly place. But friendly has a limit. Don’t expect friendliness when in the underground, for example, because you’ll be all out of luck. Another thing: keep an eye out for Londoners in a hurry. They hate nothing more than to be slowed down by non Londonites! Failure to comply may well result in hair loss …
2) Don’t wreak havoc on the escalators! When using escalators, always stand on the right-hand side; this is so that speedy pedestrians can rush down on the left.
3) Don’t be afraid to ask people questions. If you’re lost just ask! Many Londoners will be only too happy to help.
4) Work out your route before you arrive at a busy London terminal. Trust me, you’ll have enough to do with taking in all that new culture. By planning you’re making life a lot easier on yourself and a lot less stressful.
