Plan to visit London
Dear all,
I would like to visit London for 5 day in September. Is it fine to include
the weekend into the holiday? I mean, will the shops close on Sundays, or
any other days there?
Is it good to use "The London Pass with Transport" over there? Or I better
only use the pass without transport? Any other cheaper options?
I can't spend too much during my holiday. Any suggestion on the
dinner/food that is cheap in London?
Thanks.

Some wll close on Sunday but most of the large stores on Oxford
Street will be open

Buy a tube pass, the 3 day pass with transport costs £14 extra which
is almost £5 per day, the Zone 1,2,3 & 4 Off peak travelpass only costs
£4.70 per day
The London Pass ins only worth buying if you plan to visit most
of the places on their list

Pub meals are usually good value.

Good restaurants in the centre are mostly expensive, local indian
and chinese places have "take away" services, you could just
order one meat dish and rice (if you have somewhere to eat it).
Fish and chip shops also do other things than fish and chips.
There are pizza places everywhere.

Most major shops (and many smaller ones) open on Sundays, though often
they open later and/or close earlier than on weekdays. Tourist attractions
are open on Sundays (although churches and cathedrals, of course, are
off-limits to tourists for part of the day for obvious reasons).

Get the pass without transport if you are planning to visit many of the
places it gives admittance to; otherwise, don't bother with it.
As for transport, a lot depends on where you are staying. If you are
staying in the centre and the weather is good (which it can still be in
September) you can walk a lot of places, and by planning your activities,
you may be able to get away with just a few Tube or bus trips, in which
case you can pay for them singly or buy one-day passes.
Buses in London are much improved lately and are a lot more pleasant than
the Tube, BTW.

The hotel we'll be staying at is situated in Bayswater, near Queensway. As
for the dinner, we may be able to have it in the city centre before
travelling back to our hotel, but if you have any suggestions on nice
restaurants in the Bayswater area, it'll be much appreciated. :-)

In fact, stores can only trade for 6 hours on a Sunday, so most open at
11 or 12 and close at 5 or 6.

Re: Plan to visit London
Thanks a lot for all the replies.
How much are those food?? Over here (Hong Kong), a McDonald meal set or
chinese take away food is around 1.5 pounds. For western meal set
(appetitizer, main course and a drink), it costs at least 6-9 pounds
normally. I"ve heard one McDonald meal set in the UK is about 4 pound? Is
it possible to have any food at about 2-3 pounds per person? Maybe from
supermarket??

I wouldnt classify anything from McDonalds as a meal
Typical Chinese takeaway from £4 upwards

Absolutely, many of the bigger Supermarkets have cafes
serving hot food for that sort of price.

Shops that have a retail area smaller than 280 square metres have no

you could buy "value" line things in Tesco supermarket and eat
them in the park. Most supermarkets do similar lines. The Tesco
ones have blue and white stripes on the cheap lines.

Notting Hill Gate is just to your west, there should be places
there, south end of Edgeware road is to your east, there are
arabic/lebanese restaurants there. The area around Charlotte
Street (parallel to Tottenham Court Rd) is good for west end
eating as is Soho (Chinese).

>restaurants in the Bayswater area, it'll be much appreciated. :-)
Notting Hill Gate is just to your west, there should be places
there, south end of Edgeware road is to your east, there are
arabic/lebanese restaurants there. The area around Charlotte
Street (parallel to Tottenham Court Rd) is good for west end
eating as is Soho (Chinese).

My current favourite is Tesco Value Noodles, 8p.
My local Tesco has a marked cabinet for reduced-for-quick-sale items.
Hanging around at lunchtime can net bargains, down to half price. Big Tesco
Finest Italian Meat Pizzas for GBP 2. A lot of things need cooking though.
About 2.30pm the supermarket sandwich counters start reducing any short
coded sandwiches.
An hour or so before closing, the in-store bakery sells off doughnuts,
pastries etc at 10p.
