Gutted, also the leave proponents don't have a plan. Also if they want to access the single market they have to agree to free movement of people. So NO point in voting out. Read More

Visiting London in Sept by owoade

Will be visiting london for 2 weeks next month. Will appreciate tips and advice. Especially where to get good bargains,where to hang out and how to enjoy this town in two weeks. Appreciate your response

Melissa

I would never recommend a wetherspoons pub! They are often dirty pubs, shoes stick to the floor and the clientele can be questionable. Eating out can be expensive but I don't think you need to find a chain to avoid that. I find avoiding chains ... Read More
