旅游忠告和警告 伦敦
London districts Greater London consists of 32 London boroughs and the City of London that, together with the office of the Mayor of London, form the basis for London's local government. The Mayor of London is elected by London residents and should not be confused with the Lord Mayor of the City of London. The names of several boroughs, such as Westminster or Camden, are well-known, others less so, such as Wandsworth or Lewisham.
Climate Despite a perhaps unfair reputation for being unsettled, London enjoys a dry and mild climate on average. Only one in three days on average will bring rain and often only for a short period.

Shopping If it's available, it can be bought in London. Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street, all in the West End, are some of the most famous shopping destinations in the world, but they are also just the tip of the iceberg, and many London districts and town centres have unique shopping attractions of their own.
Live Music London is one of the best cities in the world for concerts, spanning from new musical trends to well known bands. Between huge concert facilities and small pubs, there are hundreds of venues that organise and promote live music every week. Many concerts, especially in smaller or less known places are free, so there is plenty of choice even for tourists on a budget.
Eat It is a huge task for a visitor to find the 'right place' to eat in London - with the 'right atmosphere', at the 'right price' - largely because, as in any big city, there are literally thousands of venues from which to choose, ranging from fast food joints, pubs, and mainstream chains all the way up to some of the most exclusive restaurants in the world which attract the kind of clientele that don't need to ask the price. Sorting the good from the bad isn't easy, but London has something to accommodate all budgets and tastes.

Tip uses the following price ranges for a typical meal for one, including soft drink:
Budget Below £15
Mid-range £15-50
Splurge £50+
Hotels Your budget will have a lot to do with what part of London you will want to stay in. Tourist-standard prices range from £20-200 per person per night. Expect smaller than average rooms especially at the low end of this range. As a general rule, expect to pay between £75-150 per night for a 2 or 3 star hotel in the central area of the city. Many of the big name chain hotels now offer substantial discounts (with rates often down as low as £30-£50 per room per night) if you book well in advance, but the drawback is that you have to pay the full amount upfront at the time of booking and there are no refunds if you cancel. The heart of the West End is the most expensive place to stay and most hotels are either 4 or 5 star and most will command a hefty price premium.
Museums and Galleries London hosts an outstanding collection of world-class museums. Even better, it is the only one of the traditional "alpha world cities" (London, Tokyo, New York City and Paris) in which the majority of the museums have no entrance charges, thus allowing visitors to make multiple visits with ease. Although London can be expensive, many of the best museums and galleries are free including:
- British Museum
- National Gallery
- National Portrait Gallery
- Victoria and Albert Museum
- Natural History Museum
- Tate Modern
- Tate Britain

从Wikipedia约 伦敦

伦敦 (英文:London,讀音:{{}})是大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國和英格蘭的首都、第一大城及第一大港,也是欧洲最大的都會區之一。兩千多年前,羅馬人建立了這座都市。 倫敦近幾百年來一直在世界上具有巨大的影響力。城市的核心地區倫敦市,仍保持著自中世纪起就劃分的界限。然而,最晚自十九世紀起,「倫敦」這個名稱同時也代表圍繞著倫敦市開發的周围地區 。這些衛星城市構成了倫敦的都會區 和大倫敦區 。

倫敦是四大世界級城市之一,与美國紐約 Global Cities: GaWC Inventory of World Cities 1999 Global cities#GaWC Inventory of World Cities (1999 Edition); Global Cities: GaWC Inventory of World Cities 2004 Global cities#GaWC Leading World Cities (2004 Edition) 、法國巴黎和日本東京並列 。但是倫敦未獲英國城市地位,正式來說算不上是城市(其心臟地帶倫敦市和西敏市才是城市),但因為自18世纪起她一直是世界上最重要的政治、经济、文化、藝術和娱乐中心之一,一般人都誤以為其是一整座城市。

从1801年到20世纪初,作为世界性帝国——大英帝国的首都,伦敦因在其于政治、经济、人文文化、科技发明等领域上的卓越成就,而成为全世界最大的都市。

伦敦是一个非常多元化的大都市,其居民來自世界各地,具有多元的种族、宗教和文化;城市中使用的语言超过300种。同时,伦敦还是世界闻名的旅游胜地,拥有数量众多的名胜景点与博物馆等。

2005年,大伦敦的人口总数为750萬,若包括都會区的人口則超过1200万人。
