Pros: Good interactive activities for children.
Excellent adventure playground.
The worlds first preditor and prey robots! Cons: Very dark, poorly signposted.
Not enough historic information for me.
South Yorkshire in England is perhaps one of the most difficult areas of the country that a British tourist office has to sell.
The Sheffield area in particular, was for many years the powerhouse of British heavy industry- coal and iron...
Pros: Truly unique London experience, beautiful theater, the best place to see a Shakespeare's play, good prices Cons: Only open during summer months
If you are looking for a truly special cultural experience in London, I can’t think of a better place than a Globe Theater. It’s not surprising that the photo that Epinions chose for the “Cultural Events” section (in the upper left corner) is a picture...
Pros: Beautiful Scenary, Historical Site, Many Dog Collars Cons: none
Only in England can you play a round of golf around a castle, and then visit the largest collection of dog collars in the world. However, that’s exactly what is offered at Leeds Castle. Close your eyes, imagine King Arthur, the Knights of the...
Pros: One of the world's great drinking emporia, NO TOURISTS Cons: None--how could there be?
Back in 1989 a London pal of mine introduced me to Gordon's Wine Bar, one of the world's great drinking establishments. I was last there in 1997 so I am assuming and hoping it is still around. Gordon's is located on Villers Street, which connects ...
Pros: Just a great place Cons: Those early closing times!
Firstly I must start this epinion with an apology. I have not written an epinion for some time, and this new format quite frankly baffles me, and thus I am sorry if this is posted in the wrong section etc.
Pros: Great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the theater district Cons: Many featured portraits are of famous Americans, and that was not really the point of my visit to London
If you are going to London for more than a brief visit, you might want to stop off at The National Portrait Gallery. My family stopped off at The Gallery because we had already eaten lunch and were waiting for the 5:00 showing of "ART" to...
Pros: lager, lager, lager, shouting Cons: just watch that money go down the kaze
London has often been accused of being impersonal and unfriendly and to some extent this is true, but, like anywhere, it's entirely dependent on where you go and who you know there.
Before I start, I would say, as a complete xenophobe, that an...
Pros: Surprising, unpredictable entertainment -- a hoot! Cons: A lot of boring speakers -- standing around waiting.
Every time I visit London, I set aside Sunday afternoons for Speakers' Corner. I've found it's the most entertaining free event in London. Speakers' Corner is in the north-east corner of Hyde Park, near the Marble Arch landmark (TUBE: Marble Arch.)...
Looking for a little escape from the hubbub of central London but don’t want to go too far? Hop on the tubes (subway) to the North Greenwich stop and walk a couple hundred meters to the entrance to the Millennium Dome, the huge 1,000,000,000£ (billion)...
Pros: 1/2 price tickets Cons: Not the best seats, only same-day performance tickets
When it comes to buying tickets for theater shows, Leicester Square in London is similar to Times Square in New York. Each square has a booth that sells 1/2 price tickets on the day of the performance. There is a 2 pounds service charge, and it’s CASH...
Pros: Very relaxed atmosphere Cons: Standing for almost 3 hours
This play was one that I was very nervous about seeing. I wasn’t sure about what I was going to see. In all truth, I haven’t done any religious studies for about 10 or more years, so going to see a play about the Bible, specifically the Old Testament,...
Pros: moving, brilliant songs, great show Cons: rather downbeat, difficult to get tickets sometimes
This was the first musical I've seen for years and it left a truly lasting impression. Even now, when I hear some of the songs from it, it can move me almost to tears.
Prepare to be moved - it is an incredible experience, but definitely not...
Pros: Exciting new form of performance art/theatre Cons: Standing and the risk of getting wet
De La Guarda has to be the most original experience of my life. I’ve never seen something of this style called theatre before. I walked in about 5 minutes before the show started. Viewing the tarp in the middle, I felt like I was waiting outside the...
Pros: Not much Cons: Everything, except a couple of actors
This truly was a Greek Tragedy. If Sophocles found out about this production, he'd come back from the dead and smack the director. This seemed like an experiment that Declan Donnellan thought up one night on various stimulants and hallucinogens. There...
Pros: beautiful theatre, and quite authentic Cons: none
The restored Globe Theatre is impressive, and claims to be almost the same as the original. The only noticeable differences are that they've glassed in the windows along the Thames--the guides on the tour boats were distracting the theatre audiences--and...
