If you have just arrived in London – or even been here for a while – one of the best things you can do to explore the city (and do it very cheaply as well) is to walk around. The wonderful thing about UIC in London is that it is so central and of course this gives you a fantastic opportunity to head off in any direction and walk for an hour or so and see some of the best things in London. If you walk north you’ll be in Regents Park in 10 minutes and from there minutes walks from the London Zoo, Camden market, Abbey Road studios and Baker Street (if you want to see Sherlock Holmes house and Madam Tussauds). East will take you to the British Museum, St Paul’s, the sity and the Tower of London, West will take you through Oxford Street, Mayfair, Hyde Park and onto Notting Hill and Portobello road but perhaps the best (at least the most famous) walk is the one going south. This is a short series of articles giving you directions to cover the most scenic places in the capital.
You leave the school, turn left and then first right along Great Portland Street. after 5 minutes or so you are in Oxford Street – cross over and then past the London Palladium (where some of the best musicals in London are performed) and then onto Liberty’s. Turn round the corner and you’ll be in Carnaby Street – site of many a famous gathering in the 60s. At the end turn right, through Soho and onto Piccadilly Circus for a brief photostop. Then on through Lower Regent Street, into Green Park and a fantastic view of Buckingham Palace. From here you can walk to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Parliament before taking a left turn along Whitehall, past Downing Street (where the Prime Minister lives) and finally at Trafalgar Square. All in an hour and a half and all for free!
