It's the type of city you'll find something you'll like and never feel the need to venture outside of the city to visit tourist places.London is expensive. Aside from what your hotel offers for meals. Grocery stores and pubs are a cheap place to get a meal. Your hotel should have all the tourist spots if you're interested in stuff like that. Like a boat ride down the Thames river. Most clubs are in the Piccadilly area and a couple others. Goods stores are found on Bond street.Buy a Time Out magazine at the airport. It'll tell you what's there to do that week. Use the internet - lots of good sites. Get a city map. Taxi can be difficult but I find they're cheaper than what amateur taxis charge (also feel safer).If you like clubs my experience is this: if there's Japanese, the more of them, better the hot spot (do eat at Yo Sushi! at least once). Muslims tend to give white Westerns a cold shoulder. I wouldn't stay in a club or restaurant with many. You could get roughed up and their table manners are considered rude by our North American standards (unless you like loud burps throughout your meal). Not very PC but it's honesty.Plan your day in advanced, especially Sunday. The city shuts down. The subway (the Tube) is easy to learn but does take time to go from one place to another.  If you like sight seeing. Do that on one day. Do your interests next days (museum or shopping). Let me dig out one of my maps. Your hotel might be farther away from areas you'd want to see then you think...</blockquote>
