First impressions of London

One of most remarkable things about London is the ease in getting around. Public transport is plentiful and reliable if overcrowded at peak hour times, and reaches all areas of London. I have yet to have ever wait more than 10mins for a train or bus and this includes late at night. It may be strange to be writing about public transport as being one of the most impressive things, but if you've ever lived in Sydney, you would understand. 

What has also made getting around London really easy, is their maps which are located almost everywhere around important parts of London. It shows you which direction you're walking in and what is available within a 5 min walking radius. Design details which means you never feel completely lost. I have yet to be in a city which does this so well.
