Things I like about traveling in London:
- People know how to spell my last name — Yes I did say “tit”, yes there is a silent “e” at the end.
- Public transportation is amazing. My boys especially like riding on the top floor of the bus.
- There is no need to carry cash anymore. Everything is touchless payments, even for public transit.
- Streets and sidewalks are surprisingly very clean for a big city.
Things I don’t like:
- This city is built for adults (like probably all big cities). I find myself hyper-vigilant just traversing a sidewalk with the boys. This should get easier the older they get.
- There does not appear to be a common side of the sidewalk to walk on. You’d think since driving is on the left, it would be the same for pedestrian traffic. Think again!
- Although I appreciate the historical significance of the red telephone booths, they are not practical nor well maintained.
