When driving in London, try to stay out of yellow boxes (road markings – yellow crisscross grid of diagonal lines painted on the road surface) as well as bus lanes (may result in fine(s)). Honking is known to occur at yellow boxes, though in this case it’s better to be more mindful of the boxes than of the honkers. London cyclists & pedestrians are famously not shy of vehicular traffic, so always be extra alert when driving in the city.

London is home to multiple professional football clubs. Winners of 13 English Football Championships, 14 FA Cups and 17 FA Community Shields, Arsenal F.C. plays at Emirates Stadium on the city’s north side. Not far behind in success, Chelsea F.C., which plays at Stamford Bridge in South West London’s upscale Fulham neighborhood, has won 6 English Championships, 8 FA Cups, 5 EFL Cups and 2 UEFA Champions League titles. Additional London professional football clubs are Tottenham Hotspur F.C., West Ham United F.C. (London Stadium), Crystal Palace F.C. and Fulham F.C.. Good to know in London is that places such as Oxford Street and Leicester Square can get crowded at times. Most museums are free and are least-busy on weekdays or nights. At least a day or two of exploring on foot is advisable, so it might be best to pack sneakers. Also recommended at least once is a ride on the second deck of a bus through your favorite spot. A good navigational app to use in London is citymapper. On underground subway escalators, make sure to stand to the right. London currency is the British Pound, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. A tourist might spend about £150 per day in London on average. London accommodations are some of the United Kingdom’s best. Before we get to London accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Discovered upstream from Vauxhall Bridge in 1993, timber from a Bronze Age bridge has been radiocarbon dated to somewhere between 1750–1285 BC. Meanwhile, downstream from Vauxhill Bridge, the foundation of a large timber structure dating to 4800-4500 BC was unearthed in 2010. Roman London became the area’s first major settlement in 47 AD following a Roman invasion four years prior. In 61 AD, Queen Boudica of the Iceni tribe stormed the Roman settlement and razed it to the ground. However, the Roman’s retook and rebuilt the area, with Londinium becoming the Roman province of Britannia’s principal city by 100 AD. Roman rule collapsed in the early 5th century, when the walled city of Londinium became abandoned. Known as Lundenwic, an Anglo-Saxon settlement developed just west of the old Roman city around 500 AD. Viking attacks, beginning in 851 AD, brought decline in what had again become a relatively major port. Around this time, London fell under Danelaw. Laws of the Danes presided, with the Danish warlord Guthrum ruling over East Angles from London to Chester. Danelaw was agreed upon between Guthrum and the West Saxon king Alfred the Great. Alfred retook London from the Vikings circa 886, as recorded by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This “rebuilding” of Londinium saw to Lundenwic’s  abandonment, and the revival of life and trade within the old Roman walls. Westminster Abbey was founded in 959 AD as a monastery dedicated to Saint Peter. William the Conquerer, in 1066 after winning the Battle of Hastings, was crowned King of England. Thereafter, William went on to build the Tower of London. In the mid-14th century, The Black Death brought carnage to nearly a third of the city. The 1361 Peasants’ Revolt resulted in the sacking of the Tower of London, mass execution of royal officials, charters being granted to rebel towns, and a subsequent rebel suppression / execution of rebel leaders. Prior to being expelled by Edward I (Edward Longshanks) in 1290, England’s Jewish population had been centered in London. A gradual shift to Protestantism occurred during the Tudor “Reformation” period, at which time much of London property passed from church to private ownership. With The Royal Exchange‘s founding in the 16th century, monopoly traders such as the East India Company expanded trade to the New World. In 1599 during the period of English Renaissance theatre, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage built the Globe Theatre, in which the Lord Chamberlain’s Men were rehoused, and William Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous plays. The 5th of November, 1605 Gunpowder Plot was an unsuccessful regicide attempt against King James I by a group of English Catholics, including the popularized Guy Fawkes. Eight plotters were sentenced to hanging and drawn and quartering. Beginning in August 1642, the English Civil War between Parliamentarians and Royalists resulted in a Parliamentarian victory, the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England. Tragic events occurred during the 17th century by way of the Great Plague and Great Fire of London. The Bow Street Runners, London’s first professional police force, was established in 1750 to fight rampant crime. Starting with George II in 1762, Buckingham House grew over the next 75 years into Buckingham Palace. In the early-19th century, Fleet Street became a center of the British press, around which time the Royal Navy became the world’s leading war fleet. Urbanization occurred during the Industrial Revolution. Teashops were founded on “High Streets” during the early-20th century. During the First and Second World Wars, London was bombed by the Germans via Blitzkriegs, or “lightning war”. Wembley Stadium hosted the 1948 Olympics. From the 1970s into the 1990s, bomb attacks occurred in London as a consequence of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom’s capital and largest city, London today is home to nearly 9 million “Londoners”. London’s most affluent neighborhoods include Kensington and Chelsea. The West End is a place to find entertainment and shopping areas. London boasts multiple Christmas markets at locations to include Hyde Park, Covent Garden and Southbank Centre. 42 of the city’s skyscrapers exceed 492 feet in height, with The Shard rising highest at 1,016 feet. A top European destination, London operates one of the world’s busiest airport systems. Heathrow Airport alone handles around 84 million passengers annually, while The Big Smoke itself accommodates around 20 million people per year. Over 300 languages are spoken in London. Defined by a temperate oceanic climate, London experiences warm / hot summers and cool winters. July summer high temperatures average around 75 °F, while January winter highs average about 46 °F. Rain falls roughly 33% of the year, with October typically being the rainiest month. Although heavy snow is rare, snowfall does occur during winter. Additional points of interest include Piccadilly Circus (road junction / public space – digital billboards, theaters, restaurants, shopping), St Margaret’s Westminster, Canary Wharf, London Stock Exchange, London St Pancras International, Victoria Coach Station, University of London, Imperial College London, London School of Economics, King’s College London, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Harrods, Sherlock Holmes Museum, Odeon Cinema and Abbey Road Studios. Local foods include fish and chips, bangers and mash, English breakfast, Sunday roast, chicken tikka masala, roast duck, scones, crumpets and sticky puddling. Popular drinks are gin and tonic, beer and tea. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for London accommodations that will help make for an unforgettable experience.
