I will pay a visit to UK in early October, spend 13 days. Have already planned for London, Edinburgh, Glasgow & Fort William.

The question is, I have 1 extra blank day for York or Bath, I can choose either but not both. Which one is more attractive for an architecture-lover? Besides, If the one has a different style than the other cities we have already seen, it would be more preferable. OR, are there any other suggestions?

thank you who would reply!

I am an overseas national and am planning on visiting parlament to attend a debate in late October. Has anyone else attended a debate? If so, how early do you have to be there to line up and is there a list of debates to choose from?

Greetings

Is snow a regular occurence during the colder months in Blackpool?

MY FRIEND AND I ARE GOING TO VISIT ENGLAND NEXT SPRING FOR 10 DAYS. HERE'S MY PROBLEM.................HOW WOULD I GET FROM LONDON, ENGLAND TO KINTYRE, SCOTLAND?

WE WILL ALSO BE GOING TO LIVERPOOL AND OTHER AREAS IN ENGLAND SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO START THE JOURNEY IN LONDON.

I THOUGHT MAYBE BY WATER(FERRY), BUT CAN FIND NO PORTS THAT 'MATCH'. TRAIN OR BUS WOULD BE FINE TOO, BUT I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW.

THANKS, ANYONE OUT THERE!!!!

We will be staying for either 1 or 2 nights in Liverpool, in late October.I would appreciate if you could help me with the following questions.

-Any recommendations for a hotel offering something special from Beatles?
-Best tour to see the most from Beatles? (i already attended Magical Mystery tour and want more)
-Besides the Museum and the Cavern, are there any stores selling souvenirs of the Beatles?
-Best way to go from Liverpool to Stansted Airport?
-I believe it is almost impossible to attend a game of Everton or Liverpool but at least we would like to take a tour at Anfield, what am i supposed to do for that?

Thanks a lot...

We are going to Glasgow in the middle of november for a week and are planning to watch as much football as possible. We have never been there before so therefore I would like to know if there will be any problems getting tickets to the games or if it is just to go to the stadium before the game and buy one? We are planning to watch:
Wed 12 nov Celtic-Kilmarnock
Sat 15 nov Rangers-St Mirren
Sun 16 nov Hamilton-Celtic
What is the best way to go to Hamilton?
And whatabout the location of Celtic and Rangers stadiums? Is it ok neighbourhoods or is it a location that you should be careful at night?
Will there be any lower league games at thursday or friday?
All advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all. I will be taking my parents on a trip to London in October, and my head is about to explode trying to deal with finding an appropriate hotel. There are so many websites. My parents are in their mid 60's and not exactly the picture of physical fitness. I would like to find a centrally located hotel priced somewhere in the vicinity of 100 pounds. Thank you

Cheers,

Hello all,

I'd like to ask you to point the spots/circuits that I should not miss when visiting London for about 3 days. You can give a fast answer (just say the names), then I look for it (Mostly I like to walk in the streets, so, no museums please).

Is there any nice pub/bar near Victoria with live music for a beer in the end of the day ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi all,

I had the option of taking a Megabus ride and and from London to Newquay---but one of the buses was an overnight trip. Not really interested, but I'd like to know anyway about the safety of Megabus and its overnight runs in case I ever did want to take one. Has anyone tried this? Thanks very much.

I'll reach London Gatwick on 28 October and would like to spend few days travel in London and Paris. I have the following question and hope if some one could give me some advise or suggestions:

i) Have any one buy the London Pass and Paris Pass online? Is it safe to buy online or i can get this pass when i reached London and Paris? If you have buy it online for this two pass, do u find it worth?
ii)Im planning to spend 4 or 5 days in London and 4 days in Paris? Is it sufficient enough to see the places in London and Paris?
iii)I'm planning to get the accomodation in King cross, London and Le Louvre in Paris. Is this two place safe for travel or stay (as i'll be travelling alone).
iv) Any lady who have been travel alone between London and Paris? Is it enjoyable or hard? Any thing that i need to take note?
v) Is the public transport in London and Paris easy to get on?
vi) Any must see places in London and Paris?

Thank you in advance.

Hi there decided to give Hogmanay another crack this year. We came up 2 years ago when it was a washout, ended up in some ropey theme bar called frankenstiens but got to admit I had one hell of a night. Had a nice meal at Jackson om New Years day aswell... cracking place on the royal mile.

Anyway my problem is I think in 2 previous visits to Edinburgh I have exahsted the touristy things to do and the price of them I doubt Ill do them again.

So we will book our hotel for New Years Eve so we can hopefully venture to the street party but any recomendations for somewhere to go on New years day rather than drive straight home. Maybe another town or city close by?? I've also been to Glasgow before and seen most things there.

Any advice would be great.

Have always loved visiting the Cotswolds and now that my husband and I are retired was wondering if there is a possibility of house sitting somewhere in that beautiful area. Was thinking around April to August as a possibility for a period of 3 to 6 weeks. Are there reputable websites in the UK for this sort of thing? We are from Australia so any info at all will be great. Would love to "live like a local" as part of a larger holiday.
Thanks, Norah

can anyone recommend a nice place to go for a coffee and cake in town centre/royalmile,thanks.

Hi,

my parents are going overseas next year, and my mum thought it would be a nice treat to take my dad on The Flying Scotsman train from London to Edinburgh. Although I have been looking some stuff up on it, but can't actually tell if it is still running - or maybe if it is something seasonal now?

Can anyone let me know if it is still running, or direct me to a site with more information?

Thank you,

Cassie

Do you know nice accomodation in Edingburgh? Bed and breakfast, small cosy family hotel? Or?

We take 2 nights in Edinburgh and 1 on our way back, rent a car and then find accomodation on our way to taste whisky

Is there a train from Manchester Airport to York or Leeds? Is the train station within walking distance or do I have to get a bus or taxi to get there too?

Does anyone know of any car boot sales around west or north yorkshire?

Hi All,

I am flying out to Orly, Paris on Friday 19th September. I am getting the oxford tube bus to London, from oxford and it stops at several places;

Hillingdon
Shepherds Bush
Nottinghill Gate
Marcle Arch
Victoria Station

Once at one of the above places (i dont have a clue where they are) I need to get myself to London City Airport.

I will be arriving betwwen 03:50 & 04:50 and am not sure what transport services will be availble at this time.

I need to be at the airport for 06:00 and am on a very tight budget. Would anybodt be able to recomend which stop would be best or more convinient?

And also if anyone would have a rough idea on cost etc.

My dad's friend advised that if i get off at Victoria Station they do an underground to the London City Airport?

I'm not sure id that's correct but need to get all my travel sorted and finalised so i have nothing to worry about.

Many thanks in advance,

Nathan.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I want to do a day trip to Whitby from York next Sunday, I don't have my own vehicle, what is the easiest/quickest way to get there? Train to Scarborough then bus to Whitby, or bus all the way? They don't seem to be that frequent on Sundays and have to change in Marlton?
Any help much appreciated:-)

I have coeliacs disease (gluten and wheat allergy).

My husbands family are going to Kalalas in Folkestone for his nephews birthday tomorrow and have asked me to come.

They have asked the resteraunt if they cater for somebody in my position but they dont even seem to know what gluten is.

I wonder if you have any further information on this for me?

Many thanks, Vanessa Lewis

I think i'll be using a few taxis in York, as i'll be wearing a lot of heels that i simply cannot walk in on a night!

Do you know any taxis that are reliable for weekends? A few if you can, just incase :)

Thank you very much!
