I took my wife for a 2 day visit to London in between christmas and new year, last year. Despite the cold it was a great few days. So, having been there already we are heading for York in july.
I am a Londoner, born and bred and I think it is a great place.And i think that half the rest of the world share that sentiment, judging by the number of visitors it gets. I was fortunate enough, as a kid, to be only a 1 hour tube ride away from the city centre so we visited frequently over the course of my childhood.
I dont know so much about cheap, but the macdonalds we had are the same price anywhere else in the UK.
We tried to book tickets for the Jubilee Concert but were unlucky in the draw.
Why go to Paris when one can go to London?
