My London
Introduction
London is a very big place full of a variety of different cultures. Most times these cultures seem to be represented by tourists especially in central areas of London such as Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square (pronounced LESTER Square). I would suggest that you do visit these places but perhaps only in passing through to other areas. If you want to look at (cheap) souvenirs and the like be my guest.
London is the term commonly used to refer to a large area comprised of quite a number of small “boroughs” and even towns. The “City of London” refers to the old part of London also known as the “Square Mile” containing the financial heart of London.
