There are not so many stations in the world in which platforms are located inside a covered area. Lviv railway station is one of them. The huge space under the transparent roof creates a special, difficult to convey, but definitely pleasant feeling.
Go to the Westfield store, which is right next to Stratford Station. This is a huge what-there-only-no mall. Seems to be the biggest shopping experience in London. In it, pay attention to the Primark department, inexpensive, high-quality, successful models.
Fabric is considered to be the largest nightclub in London, but we did not get into it. We thought to go on the last day before the morning flight, but we were so tired that we broke off.
Leicester Square is home to several box offices where you can buy tickets to any show in London. Ticket offices claim "official half price" (half price), but you can buy tickets on the Internet for the same price - we checked (but where will you print them?
There is a museum near the Eye. We decided to go to the museum first, because I personally am more interested in the history of the construction of the wheel, and not the views from it.
Until I saw the towers with my own eyes, I did not understand what people admired. It turned out that the clock is on all 4 sides, and the diameter of the dial is about 7 meters!
Those who studied English in Soviet schools know everything about this square. In February, she was not very crowded, not very friendly and not very beautiful. The usual central square of a European city.
The London Underground is the oldest in the world, and its history is a fascinating reading, sometimes reminiscent of a detective, sometimes a historical drama, and sometimes an adventure detective.
The museum is very impressive! And temporary exhibitions, and solid collections of the museum, and the museum building itself (the former power plant). Many works cut the brain, lovers of the classics will be at a loss and annoyed.
What nice restaurants Jamie has! And the atmosphere, and the service, and the prices are tolerable, and the kitchen - you will lick your fingers. And at the same time, there is no feeling that you will regret all night for that fatty fried shit that you ordered, but, of course, you didn’t think that...
Imagine yourself in the place of the mayor of London, who has the Sheikh of Qatar at the door with 350 million pounds in one hand and the Shard skyscraper project in the other hand.
Not interesting in itself, except perhaps as a mode of transport. From the cable car you expect beautiful views, but this one passes over the trash cans, you can’t see central London.
Although it was built relatively recently, in 1894, it looks like it is 1000 years old. It fits perfectly into the London city landscape and I am sure that it will stand for another 1000 years, because all posterity will think that this is the oldest bridge in the UK.
Huge museum, many areas of art. Little by little, an hour a day, your life is just enough to inspect it. It will be interesting here for children aged 10-60, who have not yet run out of creativity.
Harrods is a shopping mall for Arabs who don't count money. And there are really a lot of Arabs there, with children, strollers, groups of 7 or more. Many floors, large areas, but everything is very expensive.
Passing over the bridge, on one side you see St. Paul's Cathedral, on the other side - Tate Modern, under you the Thames flows. It takes a lot of effort to take your eyes off these three sights that you read about in school English textbooks and see the bridge.
