Buy a "Travel Card" for about 3 days allowing you to use any means of transport in the areas they cover. The cheapest are the "odd peak" are valid only from 9:30 in the morning. If you think stay more days to buy the "Oyster Card" which functions as purse but requires a 3 lbs.

The taxi is very expensive a trip through the centre will cost at least 8 pounds. Highly recommended to use a public transport metro and buses to travel around in London, many things are in zone 1, and some other are in Zone 2.

Food in London- The average meal in London is pretty bad. If you eat well you have to spend at least double what you spend in Spain. If you eat hamburgers, go to Hard Rock. First, because even American food is pretty good quality (as in all) is pretty good.

The palace is open daily from 30 July to 7 September, with visits every 15 minutes from 09:30 to 16:15.

Miraculously saved from German bombing of the World War II, contains an excellent art collection from the medieval to Victorian times.

We love to climb to the top from where you can see a beautiful image of the city. Up is an adventure: 560 steps in a narrow hallway, ideal if you are going with children. The climb takes about half an hour, so you better id if you are in a good mood. The pictures from above make it worthwhile.

The Tower of London - One of the most visited monuments in London, creates a unique landscape along the river Thames, with its rugged granite floor and bloody history, was declared a World Heritage Site, in part because they are possibly the best preserved medieval castle in the world.
