Local Information

London Introduction

Home to 7.2 million people speaking 300 languages, London is the largest city in Europe. So much diversity could hardly fail to produce a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, but in London this exciting present is coupled with a Royal, Imperial past, reflected in the city’s grand civic architecture.

With a thriving restaurant scene championing everything from the gourmet to the “gastropub” and world-class cultural institutions like the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Royal Opera House and the Barbican Centre, the capital is in excellent shape.

The South Bank revival continues with the Millennium Bridge connecting St Paul’s Cathedral with Tate Modern, and a multi-million pound makeover for the Royal Festival Hall. Londoners love their newest landmark - Norman Foster’s “Gherkin”, or the Swiss Re Tower as it is formally known - found in the heart of the financial district, The City.

London is a great place. London as a major capital city deserves respect.

London like all major cities has had its good times as well as it’s bad times and I have been there for most of them.

From the ecstatic heights in 2005 of being told that it was to be the home of the 2012 Olympics to the awful depths of having the news broken of the Harrods and Hyde Park bombings London has had the experience and gravity to treat both with equal respect.

I remember travelling through London to return home to Northern Ireland where I now live on the day the news broke that Princess Diana had tragically been killed in a car accident in Paris. The almost hypnotic manner with which mourners just blindly made their way to Kensington Palace to lay flowers was quite eerie. Then at the other end of the spectrum you have London the day of the “Live 8” Festival in Hyde Park where the city centre was brought to a standstill with blaring rock music belting out across the entire City Centre.

There is so much history in London. Real live, vibrant living history in London that sometimes when you live there just passes you by and you take everything for granted.

If we use as an example, the changing of the guard. A daily occurrence at Betty and Phil’s place at the end of the mall. Perhaps I should be slightly more serious at this point because most onlookers will realize this point I am of course referring to Buckingham Palace and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. Perhaps the most notable of the Changing of the Guards in recent years was held shortly after the awful events of 911 when instead of playing God Save the Queen the band of the Guards performed what turned out to be quite an emotional performance (certainly for those visiting American tourists in the audience) of the Star Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States of America.

It was important to note the significance of this event in that it was the only time that any other national anthem had been played at the changing of the guards instead off God Save the Queen.

It could be argued that it is incidents like this that go to sum up exactly what a rich variety of tradition and history exists in London. Unlike other major international capital cities, London may lack perhaps the historic grandeur of the Parthenon in Athens or the Coliseum in Rome but through out London you will find examples of perhaps a more modern architecture (though no less splendid and impressive) such as the mother of all parliaments, the Houses of Parliament in Westminster or the serenity of St Paul’s Cathedral a survivor of many centuries and in many ways every bit as impressive now as in the days of its design under the architect Sir Christopher Wren.

The construction and existence of St Paul’s Cathedral is a wonderful example if anyone needed of how history, living history can survive great national and international catastrophes such as the great fire of London and then 400 years later the blitz of World War II.

Possibly the existence of living history such as St. Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of such a modern and a bustling city of London really sums up the overall appeal of London where there is such an amazing and historic blend of old and new.

There is absolutely no way a visit to London will disappoint

Vacation Rentals: A Budget-friendly Solution

Vacation rentals, London tourists should know, are one of the easiest ways to stay in the city without breaking the bank. If you cringe at the hotel prices of cities such as Seoul or Moscow, for example, then you would be alarmed at how much everything costs in London.

This is how vacation rentals London-style works: a landlord leases to you an apartment, fully furnished and ready for occupation. Use of apartments like these are more long-term than hotel stays, so vacation rentals, London-style, may be availed of for three days or longer. In exchange, you pay a sum that covers not your daily stay, but the entire duration of your visit.

Vacation Rentals: Options

A gaggle of lodging options are available for tourists who are considering the vacation rentals London has to offer. There are one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. However, if you want to experience first-hand the colorful traditions and history of London, then why not explore other options?

The vacation rentals London proffers are not limited to modern apartments. Other excellent options include properties that belong to the National Trust and Landmark Trust. These two are organizations that safeguard historic buildings and estates sprawled throughout Britain. They rent these out to vacationers. So, if you are adventurous enough to prefer the historic to the convenient, then you should leap at this opportunity to relieve a piece of history. You could stay in a cozy farm cottage or inside a 500-year-old castle.

Vacation Rentals: At the Heart of the Bustle

The good thing about the vacation rentals London districts provide is that these are very close to the most visited tourist attractions, most of which are in Central London. These include Westminster Abbey and a dozen of theaters, museums, and old structures. These lodgings are found close to the shopping districts, too. Price is definitely one of the less savory things about London, but many tourists go shopping, nonetheless, because the products sold in London are of the highest quality. The West End of London, particularly Trafalgar Square, is a world-renowned shopping area.

In planning your London vacation, remember to make not just flight and lodging arrangements, but also transportation provisions as well. Many websites, such as http:www.Holiday4You.com offer free information about London’s vacation rentals and public transport, be this road, rail, air, or water. Oh, and while in London, you must never forget to take a cab. London cabbies are as much a distinctive part of the city as its

In this article we will take a brief look at the history of hotels in London.

Before the 19th century there were few, if any, hotels in London. The relative lack of visitors to the capital by today’s standards meant that there simply wasn’t the demand for hotel accommodation.

Traditionally, those looking to stay in London had a choice between lodging houses and coaching inns.

Coaching Inns were particularly popular for those travelling by stage coach, before the advent of the railway network. Lodging houses were often run by widows and were more like the guest houses we know today, rather than independent hotels.

The most important period in the development of London’s Hotel’s was the Victorian era. This saw perhaps the capital’s most famous hotel, The Savoy, open its doors to guests for the first time in 1889. This was unique in that it was the first hotel in London to have a bathroom attached to every room. Following on from this, the now world-renowned Claridge’s and The Ritz opened shortly after.

Moving into the 20th century, the 2 world wars brought prosperity to the London hotel industry, fuelled by the large numbers of foreign visitors. The Dorchester was among the new hotels to spring up as a result of this.

The capital’s appeal as a tourist destination was strengthened in the 60s and seventies by the availability and affordability of air travel. By 1974, London was attracting over 6 million visitors a year. In order to meet the rising demand for beds, the Government introduced a Hotel Development Incentive scheme, which led to a drastic increase in the number of hotels built throughout the 1980s.

By the time recession had hit in the early 90’s, London was suffering the effects of the Gulf war and with International visitors reluctant to travel, tourist figures dwindled.

By the mid 90s, however, things started to improve, and with visitor numbers on the rise, the demand for beds was once again high. Together with the new trend of ‘open-plan’ working in the city’s workplaces, many of the capital’s offices were converted into hotels to meet with this demand.

The 90’s were a landmark period for London’s hotels with the opening of the first 5 star accomodation south of the Thames in the Marriot County Hall. This period also saw the opening of 2 new five star hotels in East London, the Four Seasons Canary Wharf and the Marriott West India Quay, close to the famous Canary Wharf development.

Today, London is as popular with visitors as it has ever been, but with the current economic downturn, more and more people are turning towards budget accommodation. For many years, Elysee hotel has met the demand for cheap, 3 star hotel accommodation in central London.
