London Travel Guide, England

A beacon for people around the world for centuries, seamlessly absorbing their colourful influences while remaining quintessentially British

London needs little introduction. This vibrant, multi-cultural capital is a world leading destination city. London is full of history, heritage and culture, yet one of the most fast-moving, cosmopolitan cities on the planet.

Sprawled endlessly along the magical banks of the Thames, London has been a beacon for people around the world for centuries, seamlessly absorbing their colourful influences while remaining quintessentially British.

It’s a trick not every city can pull off and yet London has been excelling at the same game for almost a thousand years. Immigrants, the city’s life blood, continue to pour in, providing London with a constantly self-renewing source of energy and dynamism.

    Forbidden Planet y el Londres Friki!

    by David Gimenez

    Después de visitar la exposición y visitar alguna que otra librería por el camino nos fuimos a visitar una de las tiendas frikis por excelència de Londres: Forbidden Planet. Aquí puedes encontrar cualquier cosa del mundillo friki, ya sean figuras, cómics, manga, DVD, un poco de juegos de rol y un poco de juegos de tablero. Si te interesan más los juegos de rol o de miniaturas, una alternativa mejor es Orc's Nest, que está muy cerca. Sin embargo, hoy en día lo de visitar tiendas frikis en el extranjero ya no es como antes, porque ahora puedes comprarlo todo por Internet. Aun así, vale la pena darse una vuelta por allí y ver qué tienen. En el "planeta prohibido", por ejemplo, descubrimos una novela friki muy curiosa.

    I Still Love London

    by David Gimenez

    Even if you’ve only been paying minimal attention the past couple weeks, you can probably tell that I am a huge London person. Our love affair began on my first trip abroad at 15 years old. Later I returned to study Victorian literature there and after graduation I came back to work there. The city is so deeply steeped in culture, history and literary landmarks that I’ve never tired of it.

    Uncovering a hidden side of London on foot

    by David Gimenez

    A few weeks ago we took a train into London and got off at London Bridge with no particular plans. We knew we wanted to walk, as it was a beautiful autumn day. But beyond that we were happy to see what came our way.
