Chilling
London - Chilling and Shopping
"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London.
No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford". So said one Samuel Johnson in 1777. Now assuming his observation was valid, it was said a very long time ago and, as we all know, things change!

Cinemas and Theatres
"The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd". What a great title for a show and what a lovely way to describe entertainment as we know it today! So what does London have to offer its visitors? For their entertainment in London, most visitors, and indeed Londoners, will gravitate to the West End of London. Leicester Square boasts several cinemas where world film premieres are frequently held.

Food
"Food, Glorious Food…" warbled young Oliver Twist in Lionel Bart's wonderful musical 'Oliver'.
Was young Oliver extolling the virtues of London's culinary capabilities, one wonders?
Probably not, methinks!
