The big picture.




You have just arrived to London. You have just unpack your luggage. Now is time to plan your schedule and go ahead with your target. But I don't want you to be faint, so first of all you might go and fill your current fridge! You have some possibilities, but my recommendation goes with "Tesco" stores. Tesco is a huge supermarket where you can find everything you want. They are ling Another good option is "Saintsbury" stores, cheaper than Tesco but truly and between you and me I prefer Tesco. I don't know why but it makes me feel more comfortable. Hungups, I guess!. Don't forget to buy some chocolate, It helps when you feel some homesickness the first days. 

Okey. Le'ts go with the city. Now you have fillet your first survival kit it's time for the big picture of London. You will have time to explore day to day, so I invite you to enjoy the unforgettable landscape of Primrose Hill. Primrose Hill is a hill of 256 feet located on the northern side of Regent's Parkin London. The hill have a clear view of central London to the south-east, as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north. It is one of the most exclusive and expensive areas in London and is home to many notable residents too. 





To get there: Tube or Bus until "Camdem Town". From there and with the help of a map, 10 min walking.

 Is worth having. Enjoy it!

First Step.




When you finally are decided to come to London, there is some Do&Donts that you should keep in mind. Fist of all, London is the most expensive city of Europe, so here few tips to begin:

- Exchange your current coin to pounds in your country in order to have cash. In London it' s true that with the credit card or visa you can buy even a gum, but it's a good tip to have some cash. For example, cabs charge you a 10% if you pay by credit card. 

- Just arriving, you should buy the "oyster" card. It costs 5 pounds and it will be useful to travel by tube or bus. If you are student and you will be more than 14 weeks you are able to get the "student oyster", and the advantage is that it is cheaper. If not, don't worry, because the normal oyster with 30p/week (weekly bought) is cheaper than the normal and individual ticket (it costs around 5 or 6 pounds, I can't remember!…but so crazy price!) 

- Will you be on holidays? or Living? I'm living, so let's advice…If you look for a flat on the web side, be careful!. I found some webs as "gumtree" that are so suspicious. Anyway I found my current flat on the net and I were so lucky! I love my room and my flat as well. Flats and apartment are so expensive. It depends on the zone too. There is Zone 1 with the expensive flats because it is the downtown. But there is so good communication between the centre and the other boroughs. 

- English people are quite rude sometimes…but don't worry, it is their mood. Unless they always say "sorry" for everything, even if they touch you unaware. If you imitate this behavior you will be settled in. 

- I guess you can't settle down yourself in your new home until you will visit the unforgettable Oxford and Regent Street, as the posh girl you are. Go there (by bus, my advice, You have time) and enjoy checking through the awesome shop windows! You will unpack later…
