Have you been to London?

I would not call London a "traditional" place to travel, that is something I would call Disney World and Cancun.

London has a terrific amount of history and culture to it, it would be foolish to not ever go just because it is a popular place for people to visit.

yes I have and by traditional l mean the automatic go to place in peoples mind. It the same view people have that the only US cities worth visting is NYC, L.A. Miami , sometimes Chicargo. when in there are a number of cities to choose from.


Leeds I remember reading about years ago thought it would be worth a visit.
