多姿多彩的英国伦敦自助之旅17-20 Apr'14 London City, United of Kingdom

从法国乘坐海底隧道火车Eurostar两个小时到了伦敦(时差1个小时)网购大约一人52块欧元的车票(大概便宜一半但還是蠻貴的)到了伦敦第一印象就是:我们终于看得懂也听得明了!这里火车站也干净的多。整个人都比较轻松舒服[可能在法国都保持十分的精神怕被骗被偷东西]伦敦给我的感觉就是什么都有;东西都有次序很方便。喜欢听这里的人讲起正统的英文好听有礼貌。伦敦的景点其实都是地标;如果你不喜欢参观博物院;大概一天你就可以逛完(因为有亲人带我们用了半天。。哈哈!)伦敦有很多行行色色的市场MARKET;千万别错过噢!
Departed from Paris to London by undersea train Eurostar took us two hours journey. We brought on-line at 52 Euro per person (TIPS: Must book earlier otherwise the price is double). Once we get out from the train, we felt relief & more comfortable cause we finally can understand on what we see & hear. Here everything seems to be more organized and personally I love how they speak in the very proper way. There are many tourist attractions in London which are very near by to each others ( "long" walking distance). However you still can complete the tour in one day time only if you are not the museum lover. Beside, there are variety of market in London city where you shouldn't miss it!

LONDON BIG BEN伦敦大钟楼
到的第一个晚上就步行到大钟楼拍夜景。一个冷到不行!晚上应该只有5度At the first night, we strolled from our home stay to Big Ben, it took us about 20-30 minutes just for the night scene; the weather was damn cold about 5c.
Two jackets to cover myself but yet still cold
大钟楼的日与夜The Day & Night for Big Ben
经典的电话亭;加上大钟楼!喜欢这个角度 Classic public phone station & big ben. Love this angle anyway!
LONDON EYE 伦敦眼
其实就在大钟楼对面;上去好像蛮贵的。不想要亲戚破费。结果我们都不想上去!应该会很美!London Eye is just opposite the Big Ben. Boarding fees should be quite expensive; at last we decided not to go. 


CONVENT MARKET
一个文艺的市场卖很多手工艺品。小小的市场可以逛一逛。买了两件真皮外套110镑两件(原本是100块一件)请告诉我这是便宜 [以上的照片我们穿着的]
Convent market having a lot of hand made stuff. Worth to visit although it is small. We brought a full leather jacket at 60 pounds for two pcs (Original price given was 55 pounds for one). Please tell me it was cheap.... please [leather jacket we wore at the previous photo above]


CHINA TOWN 伦敦唐人街
来到这里你真的不会觉得你在伦敦。比较像在香港到处都是华人。整个行程吃了那么多天的西餐;来到唐人街最想吃饭! 我们试了几家点心还有唐人餐馆, 坦白说还是大马的好吃;食材怎样都是我们亚洲的比较新鲜不能做比较. You definitely won't feel you are in London here; it is more like Hong Kong instead. You will see a lot of Chinese in this area. The first thing we did in Chinatown: Craving for RICE!!! Typical Chinese! Hahaha... However, the taste is still not as good as in Asia. Maybe due to the freshness of the material. 

NATIONAL GALLERY 国家美术馆
这个也是入场免费。因为时间的关系我们没进去参观。下次吧! Admission is free! We should go next time!

BUCKINGHAM PALACE 白金汉宫
只为了看一个露台;皇族大部分都会在这里露脸 This place just for you to see the signature balcony where the royal family always show face & shake their hand. Can recall it?

HORSE GUARDS PARADE 英式操兵
伦敦操兵在早上十点才有。说真的有点失望没什么特别。七早八早站在太阳底下等了一个半小时。真的不值得! We purposely wake up early and wait under the sun for more than an hours plus to watch this horse guards changing their swift. A bit disappointed from what we expect. Too bad!

他真的不动耶!
ROYAL PARK 皇家御花园
在等操兵的同时来到这个美丽的花园拍照;这个公园很大有很多主题可以慢慢逛逛。很休闲~ This royal park is big and nice; it is just opposite the horse guards parade; we visited this park while we waiting for the horse guards show. 


LONDON BRIDGE & TOWER BRIDGE 伦敦桥与塔桥
很多人都会搞错这两座桥; 真正的伦敦桥只是一个普普通通的行驶桥;到了这里才会知道! Many people are still confuse on this two bridges. Actually there are totally different appearance. You will only know once you come to this place.
我們站在LONDON BRIDGE看TOWER BRIDGE. We were standing at London Bridge to see Tower Bridge.


每次看到我們身後的;其實是Tower Bridge. This is Tower Bridge...
HARRY POTTER PLATFORM 9 3/4哈利波特火车站
这只是King Cross火车站的一个角落。也是景点之一拍照要排队。还有一个专卖店买纪念品。这个工作人员超搞笑还会帮你摆POSE. It is located at one of the corner at King Cross Station. To have this photography, usually you need to queue for a while. There is a souvenir shop for Harry Potter fans. This guy is so funny that he will teach you how to pose... Haha
Ready to go...
CAMDEN TOWN
伦敦庞克镇-到处的店面都有特别的设计。来到这里可以买到便宜的纪念品;本人对它的市场有点失望;都是外劳在卖仿照品. This town is so PUNK!You can get cheap souvenirs here. Personally felt a bit disappointed on their market. It is full of foreign workers and selling the fake branded stuff. 


PUBLIC TRANSPORT公共交通
来到伦敦必定要坐坐他的德士Rolls Royce还有它的双层巴士。可是他们的德士是很贵的;要省钱还是搭地下铁吧!London taxi (Old Rolls Royce) is the most expensive public transport at all. Should take for short distance. We couldn't found any classic double decker bus at London city; all running new fleet.



BOROUGH MARKET
超喜欢这个市场因为美食! Market that only for food hunter!



What's special here:
- Monmouth Coffee: 這間咖啡店就在市場對面要排隊。咖啡味道我是覺得還好。喜歡它是可以在窗口欣賞風景 Daily fresh brew coffee - mild taste for me but yet you feel better when you see the queue. It is just opposite the Borough market - you can sit at the window sit to enjoy the view.


- Kangaroo Burger袋鼠漢堡: 對!沒錯真的是袋鼠肉!雖然殘忍;可是真的很想試試!肉質軟軟的好像雞腿肉。裏面加了一些特別的醬汁;所以還真的吃不出本身有什麼味道 Yes! It is true kangaroo meat. We think twice before we brought it. Its texture same as drumstick where as we not really can know the origin taste because it is covered by the burger sauces. 
- Duck Sandwich 鴨文治
那就是鴨肉三文治。其實是鴨肉絲。本身覺得太乾了。就像肉絲麵包一樣。試試就好!Exactly is the duck meat floss with bread. It is too dry for me so just for try. 
- Big Breakfast at Pork Specialist Restaurant
市場附近的餐廳位於角落「店名真的記不起」它的早餐真的讓我們意想不到的好吃又大分:裏面有培根,醃腸,豬扒;員工知道我們平分;還會煎了兩個荷包蛋給我們!呵呵。。。貼心!This corner shop restaurant which we think it is pork specialist based on the interior theme. Really can't recall the restaurant name. Sorry :P Love their big breakfast include bacon, sausage, pork chop, etc Friendly staff gave us two fried egg when he know we want to share it. 


伦敦美食篇What to eat in London
Fish N Chips 鱼扒
伦敦都必定要吃鱼扒;这里鱼扒真的不能开玩笑。肉质很丰厚非常新鲜。一份可以两人吃。吃了幾間還是POPPIES的好吃!想念~ Fish N Chips is really fresh here. It is so MEATY!!! We tried few different restaurants I still prefer POPPIES HALIBUT!




Patisserie Valerie 蛋糕店
这个甜点真的是太棒了!不甜口感一流!他们刚好做特价20镑4个;比平时便宜许多!Awesome dessert - Must Try! 20 pounds for 4 pcs

吃太飽;所以打包。看到好吃的甜点最兴奋!
Burger & Lobster龙虾还是汉堡?
当然是龙虾啦!价钱一样20块英镑一份。而且龙虾是一只的!想吃需要订位!千万别错过!煮法只有两种:烤跟蒸 还是觉得烤比较香!This restaurant has only two menus: Burger or Lobster?? Of course my answer always "LOBSTER" Same price for either. Two cooking style:  steam or baked. I prefer baked lobster; taste better!


伦敦购物篇: Bicester Village Outlet
从市中心到这里需要一个多小时;从火车站就有免费的巴士载你到门口。其实我在这里只买Prada真的很便宜(大概5-4折)不买真的过意不去!这里还可以退税!Took us an hours plus journey to this place by train; there is a free shuttle bus from train station to this village. I came here sorely for Prada. It was 50% cheaper; you will not get out of this place if you din't own any. 

逛累了在PRET坐一坐吃一吃(道地的健康快餐店)
到伦敦的第一个晚上;入住了一间简单却很美的民宿。。。

KASA HOME STAY
一晚46块英镑;它位于zone1尾跟zo​​ne2头之间。其实比较方便。如果要省钱可以直接步行到大钟楼(大概20分钟)这个民宿什么都有;早餐材料已经准备好就在厨房;自己动手弄。嘻嘻。。。This home stay is so nice like home :) One night is about 46 pounds. It is located between zone 1 and zone 2 where near to the subway station. Walking distance to Big Ben about 20 minutes. Breakfast is ready but self-service...
