| CINEMAS: |
In spite of TV and home video, cinemas are still numerous in London. They are popular too - especially among learners of English. There are dozens of cinemas in and around Leicester Square alone.

| HOTELS: |
They are expensive in London. The London Tourist Board can tell you about budget hotels, hostels, and other cheap accommodation. There are a lot of cheap bed-and-breakfast places in the area around Victoria Station.

| LAVATORIES: |
The question to ask is: "Excuse me, where's the toilet, please?" or "Could you tell me where the nearest public lavatory is?" The automatic, music-playing "superloos" are popular. There are some in Leicester Square.

| PARKING: |
This is very difficult and expensive in London, so go by bus, Tube, or taxi.

There are a a lot of foreign restaurants in London - Chinese, Indian, Italian and many others. There are even a few English restaurants. Sandwiches and other snacks are good at many London pubs. Fish and chips - a British favourite - is good and cheap at the Sea Shell (49 Lisson Grove, NW1).

| TAXIS, THEATRES: |
London taxis and theatres are the best in the world. |
