London Brass Rubbing Centre
Jul 14, 2009 by Traci from Huntsville, Texas
Overall Rating: 7

• Historical aspect and I could do it myself.
• Space was tight.

“If you are interested in historical brasses, these make excellent frame able artwork for your home. You can also get a little history lesson on the person or object you are rubbing as the centre sells simple books containing pertinent information about each of the brasses available. It is a great detour if you've got an hour while visiting Trafalgar and nearby Covent Garden.”

Angel
Sep 28, 2008 by Chris from Paris
Overall Rating: 9

• Charming, up-market, varied, safe, good nightlife, cultured, self-contained.
• Expensive.

“I lived in or around Angel for two years and it's my favorite part of London. Modern and central, but at the same time charming and homely. Its main street, Upper Street, isn't characterized by the usual high street stores (even though you can still get your fill of Gap, Benetton, Top shop etc at a discreet shopping and cinema complex just off the main street). Instead, it's full of boutiques, underground designer workshops, theatre pubs, markets, alternative cinemas, international restaurants (French, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, Thai, Cuban, Vietnamese, Brazilian, American and of course British - all on one street) and surrounded by charming, quiet, residential areas and the peaceful Regents canal running right through it. The only reason Angel doesn't get a 10 on 10 is that as it has grown in popularity, it has become increasingly expensive to live in this part of town. Hotel prices are also dear, although this is true of pretty much all of central London.”

Winston Churchill's Britain at War Museum
Sep 21, 2008 by Sofia from Sweden
Overall Rating: 2

• It just took 30 minutes to get in and out.
• I spent 30 minutes in lousy museum.

“I'm sorry to say it but the time I spent was a waste of time. Go to Imperial War Museum if you want to learn more about the WW2. The good thing was that we were in and out in 30 minutes.”

London Canal Museum
Aug 17, 2008 by Colin from Pitstone
Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• Staff attitude was poor, dull exhibits, not child friendly.

“This museum is hugely disappointing in every aspect, whether it is the presentation of the exhibits which sadly lack imagination and enthusiasm, or the unhelpful, surly, bordering on plain rude attitude of the staff on duty, any plans to visit this attraction will end up being regretted. And if you have children with you, this is not the place for you. Life is too short and London is too full of interesting and stimulating things to do to waste time here.”

Baden-Powell House
Feb 7, 2008 by Hans Nilsson from Sweden
Overall Rating: 10

• Location, breakfast, peaceful.
• Had to move to another room in the middle of the stay.

“A very good location near the museums. Bus stop directly outside the hostel. Clean rooms. Big good breakfast. In short good value for money.”
