Double-decker
Do not take a double-decker to go around London. If you do you would only spend an unreasonably long time staring at the rear of other buses and breathing harmful vapors. If you are a family of four, you would pay around $130 for this pleasure. Many people claim that it is difficult to hear the guide because of the noise from the other cars. The upper deck granting you an unimpeded view is usually full and the stops are not so close to the attractions as they are supposed to be.
Instead, you could recall the feeling of riding a bicycle. In June 2010, bicycle highways were put into operation (alleys, along which you can reach the center from the outlying parts of the city). Until 2015, 10 more such highways will be put into operation and the city also has a system for self-service bicycle renting. The system has 6000 bicycles that can be rented from 400 stations around London.
Madame Tussaud’s Museum
Do not visit the Madame Tussaud’s Museum. If by chance the queue in which you would hang about for 3 hours does not take all your energy then the entrance fee would do the job (approximately 42 dollars per adult). Once you are inside, you could enjoy an interactive exhibition, the Chamber of Horrors and the Spirit of London ride which is supposed to take you to a journey in Tudors time, if it was not for the crowds of visitors and the staff. It seems that the greatest problem is that the management does not know how to control crowds and what overflowing capacity means.
Visit the new galleries of the London Museum. 350 years of London’s history is collected in the renovated interactive galleries of the museum. Not only would you learn a lot and have fun but this museum, unlike the Madam Tussaud’s Museum does not charge entrance fees.
