muscles4muscles saidLast year, when I was in London, a SINGLE tube ride(not even round-trip) was 8 US dollars! I thought I was reading it wrong and it was some sort of daily pass or something. I had to get the lady in the booth to verify. I've been to London several times but I just never remember it being THAT bad. I did a lot of walking and eating bangers and mushy peas from the street carts.
redheadguy said$1.49 will now buy you a £.I admit, every time I go to London I have a ball...great fun.
This compares to $2.10 this time last year.
And London is full of very friendly gays!
xx0xx
redheadguy saidLondon is being hit hard by the turmoil in the financial markets. More than 5,000 people who work in banking have lost their jobs and that's having an effect on all the services that surround them.I just get the week pass on the tube...now that is cheap.
House prices are also tumbling.
Unfortunately, the tube is very expensive but I would disagree about the bad food, there are plenty of great places to eat and the gay scene is huge and caters to every taste.
And you can get a taxi now very easily.
SurrealLife saidLondon is one of my favourite cities in the world. Not for the food that is for sure, but for the history, the art and the architecture. One of these I plan to return to see the rest of what I missed the first time.They have soup kitchens that are very cheap and the Fish Central...always good. You can find fish and chip shops all over town. Then you have the Pub food, and that is cheap as well.
It will be interesting to track what happens to the cost of housing and accommodation in London with the meltdown of the World's financial system. Next to NYC, London is the most important city in the world for financial firms, especially those dealing in bonds.
