I want to tell you about what I saw and what impressed me from day to day.

Once the first construction of new sports facilities of international level: the Centre for the canoe races London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
located around the area north of London, the Lee Valley White Water Canoe Slalom Centre will host the 2012 Games.
will open to the public for canoe races in April 2011, thus making available a first release with an advance of more than a year on the start of the Games.
is the first structure completed in 2012 by the organizing body for the UK Olympic Delivery Authority.
to the multiethnic character of the city or, more simply, for the richness of a capital city that can offer a number of attractions that few cities can match, the fact is that London is one of the most visited in the world.
The absence of natural elements which usually constitute the main tourist attraction - the sea and the mountains - well describes the charm of this city, which is its distinguishing feature of modernity.
not forget, however, that London not only is the third largest stock exchange in the world, but was (and is) a cultural center of the West.
The British call it country.
It 's the green English countryside dotted with famous towns and historic sites. And
prehistoric
England is a country rich in history, just enough to leave the confines of the capital immediately come across in a place linked to some historical fact.
A maximum of one hundred kilometers from London can be reached easily by car or train, the city famous for an event, a character or the setting of a film.
Some are famous for their universities, as Oxford and Cambridge , both about sixty miles from London.
Other towns are famous for being the birthplace of writers who have made the history of literature English as Stratford Upon Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, a hundred miles from London.
Bath, in Somerset County, where Jane Austen lived, is just over 100km from the capital and was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site.
There are cities that are worth a visit if only for a cathedral, as Salisbury or Gloucester , respectively, 90 and 120km from London.
If you ride in the English countryside within a radius of 100km from London we come across in medieval villages and prehistoric sites, unique in the world, surrounded in mystery.
Like the prehistoric sites of Stonehenge , Woodhenge , Avebury and Silbury Hill .
To achieve the aim shall be to Amesbury Stonehenge.
Built between 2500 and 2000 BC, is UNESCO's World Heritage.
The stones of Stonehenge are aligned to the solstice and equinox points and that is why some argue that it represents an ancient astronomical observatory, but the theories about its meaning are endless
Without having in hand a good guide to London could really get lost in the folds of this huge metropolis of northern Europe.
The British capital is in fact a city of a disproportionate size, and then before you run into a holiday in the UK, you should pay attention to its system of transport.
The main cornerstone of the efficient machine of London's transport is the subway.
The many branches of the London Underground (also known colloquially as "the Tube") manage to touch almost all the crucial points of the city.
are twelve underground lines, all characterized by a specific color to facilitate their identification in the maps, for a total of about 270 stations, strategically located in different parts of the urban fabric of London.
After the subway, the best means of transport for London is by bus.
While the classic red double-decker bus in the English capital will make our visit more evocative of the city, on the other we risk losing too much time stuck in traffic, especially during rush hours.
The third and last choice to move to London is made up of the so-called black cabs, taxi or the famous British blacks (though now, because many blacks are no longer covered by billboards).
The black cabs are located near train stations, airports and other hot spots in the capital London.
Taxi prices are quite high and can be used as an alternative to the service offered by minicab.
Do you have a weekend or a week or fifteen days to spend in this magical metropolis?
Want to get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to see, what to do and not to be missed?
1 - certainly a tribute to the British to be made about the policy of 'admission to museums.
because the entry to major museums is totally free, an important incentive to culture, such as that Italy should follow.
The famous Tower of London World Heritage Site, is a must!
Unlike other attractions, is not free, but worth all the money of the ticket, the visit is suggestive and also includes the famous "crown jewels", not to mention the view that there has to be the "Tower Bridge"
2 - If you prefer to walk among scents of food and drink stalls and various objects, not you miss the market on Portobello Road and the Camdentown (active only on Saturday), I'm sure you'll find original items as gifts or treat yourself.
Another feature of this metropolis, is the large number of theaters in the center.
3 - To complete the tour of the city, can not miss: A tour of the beautiful parks, including squirrels and ducks. Ee Regents Park Kensington Gardens, to name two of many present.
The traditional "exchange Guard "at Buckingham Palace-
A walk to my beloved South Bank, where the river is the famous London Eye, Tate Gallery, the Aquarium, restaurants and bars of different types, and the usual street performers
Last but not least, do not forget a stroll in Covent Garden London
spending most worrying of all is the ticket.
Well, since the low cost airlines have set foot on the skies This is no longer a problem.
The flight costs no more than a hundred euro in the worst case and if booked well in advance can cost as a pizza and a drink.
Once London move is elementary.
London is in fact linked by an extensive network of underground (tube) that take you from one part of the city quickly and cheaply.
If you want to save the hotel are not the best.
There can not be content to hostels also offer rooms from 25 € per night.
For the food in London you can find supermarkets open 24 hours, takeaways and fast food.
Waiting for April 29, the date of Royal Wedding in London organized a tour of the places Will and Kate.
But some extra goodies we give them to you.
The tours take place during the weekend and last approximately two hours.
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 12 it's off to the first stop: the home of Queen Elizabeth II, at 17 Bruton Street.
The tour continues in the direction of Garrard, jewelry, where Prince Charles bought the engagement ring for Diana that William and Kate has now won (if you want, you can also buy an identical one).
