London wrap-up

Impressions

Central London is clean, approachable, and the locals are more polite and friendly than you could imagine. Not sure I could stay, though, with smoking being so prevalent and most socializing centered around drinking at pubs.

Highlights

• Bicycle tour

• Getting out to Oxford, albeit briefly

Left to do

• Stonehenge

• A football match

• Parliament in session

• Staying outside the tourist-trodden center, perhaps in an outlying town
