Thanks for all the various suggestions. I did find a
hotel, small and basic, that's half the price of the
County Hall Inn. It's near my train station so I
don't have to haul luggage very far. I can travel all
over town on the bus that passes the corner of the
block. It's also close to the tube
Hello,
I am thinking about a trip to London, England in May.
I am looking at B B on line but of course there is so many, it's hard to
know where to start.It would be nice to be close enough to attractions
to walk to some.
Is there any areas of London that I should not stay in?
Any
Can't remember if we've had these before, but, if we have, it must have been
a long time ago. The tube is London's underground railway system.

have (supposedly) made to their passengers...

about people strolling along the line ..

why people think it makes them strong to attack innocent citizens.

Thanks Lynn for your thoughts.
Pity your President didn't offer any (has he got his speech writer with
him?). After Tony Bair's second speech from the G8 talks abouth the

I wish there were some way to prevent this barbarous expression of
anger that causes such waste of innocent life.

Hi Everyone,
I too would like to convey my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to those whose
lives have been affected by this terrible act of terrorism in London. It is
so tragic that we are living in this kind of world today where hatred can
stem from religion and politics and bring about such
Heartfelt condolances from here in Australia, too, who have woken

I can still remember vividly the night Sydney was awarded the Olympic

bridge looking down the harbour, and he said there was such a
a concession:-)

I was embarrassed to see my typo Potbelly instead of Portobello, wonder where
my mind was when I typed it. Pays to always read before you hit Send. I was
actually thinking of Petticoat Lane, which I thought was antiques, so I
appreciate the post from Sue that it is mainly a food market.

It's Portobello Road not Potbelly Road and most of our markets have shops as

Oh yeah - if you go to Camden by Tube (Camden Town) they probably still
turn it into an Out only station from about midday to 6pm on Sundays
because the station can't cope with the number of people going to the rest
of the market. The next station, Mornington Crescent is about a 10-15 min
I used to work around the corner from Petticoat Lane market. At that time it
didn't sell any antiques, Just clothes, food, cleaning and household items,
so I'd be surprised if it was any use to Janice. I bought all my fruit and

One place to visit in London if you like old is the Antique Market which
is held every Monday at Covent Garden. There is a Market held there every
day, but most days it is just general merchandise. Monday's the speciality
is Antiques (in its broadest sense). For our last few visits there has
