Magpark – I’ve travelled a lot, and know a large number of cities, towns and villages, and have stayed at numerous hotels and other types of accommodation over this time. That’s primarily why people ask me for my opinion when they’re going somewhere I’m likely to know about.

One time, a friend of ours was wondering about hotels in Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. They were aware of where they wanted to be, so sought my advice about hotels in Blackpool that I thought would be right for them, as I knew them and would be able to help out with their choice.

When you’re looking to choose somewhere to stay, it’s important to know the purpose of your visit, so you can work out what sort of things you might require when you’re there. There are several issues here, which I always think of when I’m looking to offer my advice.

You need to determine why you’re going to the place in the first place. If you’re there on business, you might need internet access in your room, or wireless in the hotel. Maybe you’re there for pleasure and also want wifi to keep in touch with people, or perhaps you’ll be there for business and pleasure.

You’ll also want to be sure of what you’ll be doing in the evenings. Do you want to eat in the hotel? In which case you need to find one with a restaurant. Or do you want to sample some local eateries? In which case you’ll need to be near the centre of town, or at least near to some restaurants you know of.

It’s possible you’ll be wanting to keep fit, so a gym or a swimming pool might be important to you. If the hotel itself doesn’t have these facilities, you should find out if they have an arrangement with anywhere locally – preferably a place that doesn’t charge hotel guests for using them.

Having drawn up a list of possible hotels, we looked over them and highlighted ones that appeared to be the best. Next we checked for the relevant dates, and booked over the internet. If you take these easy steps when you’re looking to stay in the Greater Manchester, Lancashire or Merseyside regions of England, you too can concentrate on your stay, and not be worried about the hotel.

London is a thriving city – undoubtedly one the world’s best. It is a city that has never looked back or slowed down since the time of its first founding. Everything that you would want can be found within its center. As you would expect, a city that offers so much is a great place to visit and not somewhere that you could get bored. You could spend a lifetime exploring the place, but if you have just a few days, you can still get a real feel of what the city is about.

In fact, the history of London is a good place to start. The city’s history is rooted in everything from medieval times gone by to the crown jewels of the monarchy. It does not matter if you are a history buff or if you have not opened a book since elementary school social studies. London’s rich, full history is sure to interest everyone. A trip to London is not complete without a trip to the world-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum to visit the almost unsettlingly lifelike wax denizens inside. Be also sure to enter the London Dungeon to encounter the terrible dark side of the city. You will be able to see and learn about a side of London that few outside of the UK know about.

One museum you cannot miss is The British Museum with one of the largest and most extensive collection of archaeological artifacts in the world.The crown jewels are found inside the Tower of London and here you will hear stories of curious prisons reserved for only the most famous prisoners. History and art come together at the National Portrait Gallery. Portraits of Britain’s most famous figures are on display in its halls. The British Museum, containing one of the world’s grandest collections of archaeological artifacts, is a necessity for any itinerary. Additionally, there are numerous, smaller museums and art galleries that are worth a visit.

A trip to Oxford Street is recommended for avid shoppers, and nearby Hyde Park is must for those who want to experience an English countryside setting despite being in the middle of a huge metropolis. Not far away is the Portobello Market, which is one of the most popular of London’s many outdoor markets. Scattered around London’s most areas and landmarks are quaint streets of times past, a walk down which will feel like you have stepped back in time. Seeing all of London’s glory from a bird’s eye view is possible thanks to the London Eye, which is essentially a massive Ferris Wheel that allows you to see for miles in all directions.

As day turns to night, it is time to catch up with some friends at the local pub. You are sure to find at least one beer on tap that will hit the spot. Once your thirst is slaked and you are properly hydrated, it is time to dance. An international city like London is brimming with clubs filled with all kinds of dancing; everything from techno, to trance, to hip hop can be found. You are sure to find a rave and some Latin and ethnic dancing too. You can also attend a rugby or football contest if one of London’s countless teams is playing.
