Making the Most of Your Trip
Imagine standing under Big Ben or walking through Piccadilly Circus. London has so many interesting paces to visit that even if you went for a week you couldn’t see everything. To see as much as you can during your visit, you must plan your trip carefully. First, you should gather information about London. You can go to the travel section of a bookstore, visit a travel agency, or surf the Web for information. Next, make a list of the things you would like to do the most. For example, if you have always wanted to see the Crown jewels, then plan a visit to the Tower of London. After that, look at a map to learn about the underground train (or “Tube”) lines so that you will know how to get around. Finally, write down your travel plans on a piece of paper and carry it in your pocket. Refer to it while you are there so that you won’t miss anything. In conclusion, there is a lot to see in London, so take the time to play your visit beforehand.
