London in 3 days

There are lots of places to see and lots to do in London however if it is your first time in London, a few things you should consider in planning this trip. First, you must stay at a good location and accessible to places where you want to see. Second, plan out your days on where to go and get tickets beforehand so that you wont have to fall in line for hours with the rest. Third, you can research your own guide book so you will know what those historical places mean. Last, eat some fish and chips.

Places to see:
1. Tower of London. get your tickets here 

2. Ride on the city bus so you can just hop on and off to your destination. You can get your tickets here. 

3. Buckingham Palace - If you go between December 22 and Feb 3 2013, you can go on a tour on the state room. Click here to get your tickets. Otherwise a picture would be nice.

4. Abbey Road - If you are a fan of The beatles, you must go to the abbey road. It takes about 15-20 mins from the city center. And take a picture just like how they did it.

Where to stay:
1. Royal Trafalgar Hotel - it is right off the Trafalgar Square which is close to the underground train and also you can walk around and not having to worry about commuting.

2. Meridiana Hotel - the hotel is a bit cheaper than the Royal Trafalgar but you will be close to the Pancras station if you plan to go to Paris and take the Eurostar train. Click here to check for the rates at the time you are planning to go.
