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.”

Stonebridge Park
Jun 29, 2007 by Eve from Norwich

Overall Rating: 7

• Good value for money and in good location for Wembley arena.
• Area could be a little off-putting to some people.

“I stayed here with my partner to go to a concert at Wembley arena. I found the room and facilities fairly basic but it is cheap and is in a good location for the arena/ stadium (just around 10 minutes on bus). The staff were friendly and it was very clean and comfortable. The locals were helpful to us when asked for directions etc, despite having heard from reviews that the hotel is in a rough area.”

Stonebridge Park
Apr 11, 2007 by Janet from New York

Overall Rating: 5

• Helpful staff, clean room.
• Basement location was noisy and neighborhood was a little "dodgy.¿

“We stayed in a basement room with no windows. It was clean and decent for the price, but very noisy because it was located under the pool room. Food was good and staff was friendly. The only really bad thing I can say is that it is located in a pretty bad part of town and the walk from the underground to the bus stop was a little scary. Next time, I¿d try to find something a little closer to London.”

London Dungeon
Sep 19, 2006 by Jennifer from KC

Overall Rating: 5

• Educational.
• Not scary at all!

“I liked the London dungeon. but was let down. I was hoping for more of a scare than I got. In fact I wasn't scared at all I would take my 4 year old nephew to this place and not expect him to get any kind of a work up out of it.”

Alexandra Palace Ice Rink
Mar 19, 2006 by helder from london

Overall Rating: 10

• View.
• No tube station around.

“This is a wide open place with and which all the light came from the essentially used of glass in the built gives to the venue a very enjoyable time. It is like you are attending a important meeting or OG, but in the other side.”

Alexandra Park
Mar 2, 2006 by Rachel from Placerville

Overall Rating: 6

• I liked the animals there and the good walkways.
• Not good lighting at night.

“Alexandra park is a nice place just to go for a walk. It's not overcrowded, and the view from Alexandra palace is the best. There is also a nice pond where people can watch the ducks or go on a little boat. And there are dear that live in the park too. It is a charming little park.”

Buckingham Palace
Jun 4, 2005 by Brenda from Crawley

Overall Rating: 7

• Throne Room
• Long que's even if you have booked.

“Some surprises, above and below stairs, very heavy ornate decoration above, bare sparse below. Exciting feeling to know this is where Royalty live today. Throne Room etc, historic settings. usually only seen on TV briefly. Even is you never get Knighted you can say I've been there""”
