If I'm honest, I have to tell you there's a slight disadvantage about living in a third world country. The London 2012 Olympics has been running on and it's bad to know I could not, at least for the time being, travel a hundred miles to see the largest metropolis area of United Kingdom.
London is a fad not only because of the recent 2012 Olympics. It is a destination that is frequented by most travelers and on a separate context, by tourists.
If you're a legit to traveling or a junkie of it, I for sure don't need to tell you a litany of adjectives to describe London. I shall rather show you a tribute to one of the global brands that is distinctly British-- Burberry. This time not for their latest collection but for the flabbergasting photos of London that they regularly post on their website.

Just a slight history: the first established settlement of this city with rich Romano-British origin happened in this Thames River.

If there's one landmark I'd like having my picture taken in aside from the Eiffel Tower and the Singapore Merlion is the Big Ben.

You definitely won't run out of galleries and theaters to capture in London. The National Gallery is one example.

Isn't London's telephone station a good travel find?

|
Western structures convince me enough that one important reason to travel is to discover a place through its history. When the desire to travel and chronicle the journeys go to a deeper level, it's not enough to merely know how a place is different from your own country. Your really crave to delve into something more.

Traveling to London is such a great affair. Sometimes I grapple my negative thoughts of seeing London as impossible and bring out the Charlie Brown in me. I eventually envision myself nestling my toes in a cold Europe road, having a quintessentially English tongue.

Most London weather guides say July and August are its warmest months. You can probably pair up shorts, racerback tank tops, and a light colored kimono to bounce off too much heat and include this Burberry Orchard Bag and Field Boots to lightly add finesse to your August London ensemble. The Orchard Bag can pretty carry your essentials if you are roaming London over the weekend.
Everything is just so postcard perfect!
