CHEERIO LONDON et AL!

I think that perhaps my expectations for this city were way too high and thats why they were not met. The best times I had were when I left the city. The list of places visited were 
-Buckingham Palace and the Changing Guard 
- Westminster Abbey 
- Big Ben 
- Tower of London (very cool) 
- Hampton Court ( I cried like a baby)
- Piccadilly Circus 
- Leicester Square (Lester) :P 
- Trafalgar Square 
- Hyde Park
- Stratford Upon Avon 
- Warwick Castle 
- Oxford 
- Wanderings randomly around the city. 

Ladies, you will find that British men are NOT shy when they want to pick you up. 

The teeth thing is not a myth. Overall British people have way worse teeth than North Americans. As a rule at least. Though, I have seen many a dental office around. 

Football is like a religion here, people cry fight and riot when theres a loss. I witnessed it during the Chelsea vs. Manchester United match. 

People in your hostel will have sex in the room. No way to avoid it. 

Pick a hostel with restaurant in it, there are many a times where you want a HOT meal. Like yesterday, when it was raining all day. 

Service people in Britain don't tend to participate in small talk. Don't be offended if they don't do it. If they do, they are foreigners likely. But if you are lost ask an old British man. They always helped me :P 

Travelling alone has its perks meaning that I can do what I want, but then I don't always have people willing to come with me. 

So my final thought on London is that you only really need a couple days there.....then LEAVE to go to Oxford or other towns that have way more character.
